pnlcooper Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Did anyone else receive the shop early and save coupons in the mail, guess BB s trying to cut down it's BF traffic a bit. They are good for 10 % off, got 2 of these and one for 12% off.

DesiDoLL88 Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 yes I got them, and threw them out!Me too!
Guest general41391 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I got those tickets too..Im not using them thou
Princess7915 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 They think they are dealing with amatures!! We know the "real deal"..no 10% off crappy coupon for us!!!
KhakiBoy Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I'm considering using mine. If the 32" or 37" Westinghouse LCD HDTVs go on sale Sunday I'll use the coupon to save more on them. Either of these were what I was hoping would be on sale for BF.
Ajshope Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Sorry to break it to you guys, but you should have kept those. The BF deals on GottaDeal are not correct. There are a few things on there that may be correct, but a majority of them are incorrect. As a Best Buy employee, I know that we are making THIS Sunday's through Wednesday's ad better than our BF ad on purpose. We are doing it so that people don't have to go through the lines on BF. We are expecting 1/3 of the people we had last BF on this BF.

Ajshope Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Is the $149 computer still going to happen on BF?That, I'm not sure about... you might take the chance just in case because we usually have at least one REALLY good deal on BF. I would check out the Best Buy nearest you on Sunday as well because sometimes we have better deals than just what our ad shows because we can only put so much into a 10-20 page ad. And this Sunday's ad is actually just 8 REALLY big pages.
DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 So the BF ad is coming out Sunday this year...not Thankgiving?
saturnboy01 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 10%...HA HA HA That doesnt even take care of the freakin tax!!!!
happyrat Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Well on some things like tvs that have a low margin 10% off might be better. Or on things you want that are not already on sale. I have 4 new best buys opening close by, only 1 is close enough to shop at, and have 3 10% coupons, but I don't need anything. My question on these "hot" deals is what happens when its defective. What if your $149 computer or $999 plamsa tv is doa? It happens. Do you give you another item, or are you sol since its a one time deal? Anyone ever had it happen?

Anyone ever had it happen?The one I am at is pretty good at returning items if they are defective... however especially if you are planning to get a plasma tv, we recommend the service plan regardless. Heck even Consumer Reports recommends Best Buy's service plan on a lot of items, but especially on plasma tvs. The computer is tough to say, I work in computers and if we truly have this deal (which I don't even know if we do to tell you the truth) the computer is usually gone the same day and we never get it again because they are special once box items (ie the monitor and computer are in the same box).
BrandyJervas Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Hey no fair I want a 10% coupon I didn't get theese now I'm sad our tax is 9% so it would be like getting it tax free. Anyone wanna give one up??lol
Guest general41391 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 It was only for Reward Zone members...i think?
Cindlu Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 When I was at BB yesterday, the salesperson told me that their BF ad was going to come out on Sunday. However I couldn't get the guy to confirm any definite items or prices. He did point out to me to look at the inventory that was stocked up on high shelves. That confirmed several items matching the BF ad at Gottadeal. He didn't confirm any prices....he said he had not been told. Manager at the service desk said no price adjustments on BF items if purchased prior.
huseboy Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Well, that would throw a monkey wrench in things. If sale starts Sunday and the comp sale is then.........
DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 No...the sale isn't until BF. They would simply be releasing the ADS on Sunday.
huseboy Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 oh, thx for clearing that up for me. I need to read clearly.

You do know that scans of the actual ad are posted here, right? -Mark-
cami_reardon Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Wish I had a couple of those 10% coupons. I'm facing possibly having mandatory OT on BF now because of this stupid announcement that was made today. I'm fighting it all the way, but I haven't won yet. This could really hurt our Christmas even though the OT is nice.
DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I got the coupons. Sold them on Ebay for $1.15

You do know that scans of the actual ad are posted here, right? -Mark-Ok I am going to give this guy the benefit of the doubt here...I am gonna assume that like you he is from OH...and in that case he would be correct in what he is posting. The ad would be totally different. Has anyone asked where he's from?
sperdue Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 10%...HA HA HA That doesnt even take care of the freakin tax!!!! I hear you... it's 9.25% here
