best buy pricematching

[MrDudeMan]

is bestbuy really 110%? they told me at my store that it is only 100%....


what do i need to do to get this established at my local store that it is actually 110%?

I have always thought it was 110 or 105. You could probably find something online or call up customer service.

There was a big post about one guy trying to get his price match and he used someones recept or something and they ended up calling the cops on him? I dont think he did anything wrong thouhg...

read about the arrest thing here, among other places

the police document in question

I wish I could find the thread that the guy started. It wasn't on AT. He went into detail about the arrest. It was pretty interesting.

Best Buy asserts the Small Claims Court is respectfully not the proper forum to hear this case. This case is more complicated than it appears on its face and the defendants are entitled to legal representation to defend this matter. The plaintiff appears to be making a breach of contract claim against the defendant for damages allegedly incurred as the result of the pricing error on defendant?s website; however, the true nature and extent of the plaintiff?s claims against defendant are unknown. Breach of contract theories are varied and complicated in nature. If forced to proceed, defendant will be at a double disadvantage due to the fact that it does not have an adequate representative in the State of Washington to testify to these matters, and due to the fact that defendant should be entitled to legal representation when having to defend the contract claims asserted by the plaintiff. The defendant is entitled to litigate the issues presented and raise certain legal defenses that they will be unable to do in Small Claims Court because they cannot be represented by an attorney.

I wonder how much Best Buy had to pay their lawyers to work this case. I think it would have been much easier for Best Buy to let the customer have what they wanted and honor their pricing mistake - even though it was only a $200 mistake.
