badboy1072 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 just to let everyone know i just came back from best buy in moline,IL and just bought the 15 inch lcd advent tv for my kitchen for 122.00 its reg is 299.00 i was told tonight by the store maneger that i could buy this tv at reg price and get black friday price if i come in that morning i was also advised that some stores in iowa and IL are running a pilot program where they are not honering the national ad but rather are giving out a $10.00 gift cert. for every $100 spent at best buy be forwarned of this as your local ads come out next week coz the thread on here does not say that:(
H_Hancock Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I particularly like this section from Best Buy's Black Friday ad (front page, in the red box at the bottom of that page......has store hours listed and the "Shop Early-When They're Gone, They're Gone!" at the top of the relevant section): "Best Buy's price match policy does not apply to items in this ad and is NOT VALID ON PRIOR PURCHASES." Still surprising the numbers of people who are not taking the time to read the fine print in BB's ad. It doesn't matter what anyone is telling you at the stores right now, their pricematching policy will be completely different for Black Friday and Saturday. And notice the disclaimer says AD, not early bird specials or the like.....all products in the entire advertisement....all of the pages, all of the products. Now, why would they tell you otherwise? TO GET YOU TO BUY IT NOW!!! I suppose it's in hopes that you'll have it, use it, and not feel like lugging it back to the store to return it and then hope another is still on the shelf to purchase. The one you just returned probably WON'T be available for repurchase anytime soon after you return it....it has to be "restocked" you know, which includes checking the box and contents out to make sure it's all there. It'll probably take the staff maybe a day or two to get your return back on the shelf...just in time to be sold on Sunday.
badboy1072 Posted November 18, 2006 Author Posted November 18, 2006 this is not the first time best buy has done this and the manegers have lee-way with this policy plus i know the maneger;)
bigjimslade Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Here we go again... :gdenough:Amen! Pass the plate.
dregerer Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I say go for it brother. I'll agree this topic is way overdiscussed and the ad clearly states that chains arent "supposed" to PM... W/ that being said, I've noticed that no one is suggesting people try it if they feel they have a legitimate chance to get it done. I think its due to the feeling "If I have to wait in line for hours so should you". No one likes to hear about someone else "working the system". Good luck! I hope it works out.
