I love these inexperienced best buy workers. Case and point.

Went there looking for a TV on sunday. Found a Toshiba 24inch flat screen "opened item". There was the retail one sitting a few aisles away with a sign that reads $299 and next to it was a 20inch one that went for 219.99. This bad boy which i checked was pretty much spankin new but just returned. It has all manuals, remotes, in it with the stickers not even peeled off.

Guess what the price said! Original price $219.99, open item discount. $189.99! and check this, on top of that there was a 20% off discount on all open items for tv's and dvd players. shweet, after state tax in ny of about 8%, it was $170.14. Dude, you can't beat that on a basically new 24 inch. yay* i'm happpy.

Great deal but I don't know that I would chalk that up to inexperience. More of a pricing error that worked in your favor.

Hmmmm, you didnt make any comments on the employees. Good price find, but next time, actually mention your main topic line.

There was a big talk about inexperienced workers in the blackfriday best buy forum... this more or less was a copy and paste of my original reply to another post... Eitherway I had no idea people can be so anal about wording. Quite a newbie to this forum so neither 5 post or rossman means anything to me. Either way i was estatic with the price i got and isn't this the place to just post anything and everything? Make love people, not war

lol...don't worry about it man. I'm not flaming you. I'll leave that up to everyone else.

Making love here is not a good idea, considering it is about 99.99999% male. *shudders* Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Here's a tip for the noob:

Try to have a link between your thread title and your thread content. It makes for a more satisfying read for the people who click on your thread.

I don't get how you people are complaining about how the title doesn't match the content. It makes perfect sense to me: BB's moronic employees marked down the wrong price, and he effectively got a TV for half-off.

I went to BB today to buy a home phone. Had a 10% coupon that came to me, addressed to me. I don't own a bb credit card, or rewards zone card and read over the coupon a couple of times. To get 10% you didn't need anything, but for 12% you needed to use one of the two cards or get financing.

They refused to take the coupon. Why bother sending me the stupid magazine if i can't use the coupons. :roll: I walked out...i'll buy it elsewhere.
