I know any number of people who I'd happily trade for even less.

I shopped at that store; It sucked...:D

Seriously, I am wondering how much longer Best Buy will last before it goes the way of the other BB. It's not that they so much suck as it is that they provide very little value or reason to go in. And deals like think might get you to go to the store, but I bet this is their form as a loss leader to get you to buy other stuff while in the store. But their priceses are just not that competative anymore, so this is just loss that generates no major upsale or cross sale.

A year or so ago.. I would agree 100% with this.. but now it's on the consumer to educate themselves and BB is and regularly price matches damn near anyone. If your paying to much at best buy it's because your not asking for a price match and educated enough to know what the best deal is out there.

You can't say this unless you know their wholesale costs and the commissions they receive from the providers.

Fair enough, I should have stated that this is my belief/opinion and not stated it as fact. Please accept my appology for any stress my statement may have caused you personally.

I guess that is good news for some educated consumers. Personally, I shop on-line and find someone that offers the lowest price up front (versus waiting to be asked to price match) and provides free shipping; and in many cases tax free.

I guess it depends on where your store is located. I live in a northern Atlanta suburb and within a 2 mile radius I have Best Buy, HH Gregg, Fry's, and Microcenter. They keep each other in check. No store is more than a couple of bucks from the others and they will all price match.

As far as loss leaders go, almost every store has them. Heck, almost every business involved in sales have them.

What a strange tread....back on topic.

The 5s are getting cheap. They must know with the redesign coming that they will have to give the iPhone 5s away after iPhone 6 comes out.
