I haven't tried that before. Does that work because you're dealing with salespeople face-to-face who are willing to cut deals?
Just curious because Best Buy's official
price matching policy (official U.S. policy at least?) doesn't include open box or refurbished.
I always stalk best buy for certain equipment. You can find open box items for great prices when the item goes on sale, the open box price varies with the sale. I purchased my marantz 7013 open box w/ three year warranty
I paid a 1000 for it virtually brand new, I purchased from a best buy in an upper class neck of the woods and the guy bought it and didn't like it just returned it. Only thing missing was the box, but everything else was included. He didn't even take the stickers off the unit lol MSRP was 2200 at the time, average purchase price was 1800 as the 7015 was dropping and the sale price was 1400
I think the refurbished one from that one website was 1200 with a 1 year warranty.
Also think I know why he returned it, it had one issue but it only cost me 15 dollars to fix
I have asked about SVS before, I think they do not own anything SVS they are just doing third party sales. I have previously asked about when the subs are discontinued are clearance prices provided and they said, not sure if it's accurate, that no it goes back to SVS they dont actually own demos to sell them.
I believe the only way it would work is if someone purchases and returns the product. I think that's a rare occasion or the subs that probably no one wants.
