$2600 seems like a pretty good deal for the mbp 15 2.9/32/1tb/vega 20 machine

Saw this....wasn't real excited because it seems you can get a 16" with those specs for the same price or not much more from a place like B&H or Adorama

For one day only, Best Buy’s prices are about $300 less than Apple’s prices. They promote a false sense of savings by comparing their current prices with Apple’s prices when the machines (now discontinued) were new.

That's too much money for a computer that's known to have fundamental design flaws, and only about $500 less than an 8-core equipped brand new 16 inch. Refurbished 16" models are even closer in price, as are the 6-core i7 models.
The CPU is only a 6-core i9.
Remember that the 16" got a bump up in base storage at equivalent price ranges to the 15", so this is not as good a deal as it initially appears.

how is it false when other retailers are selling the exact SAME laptop at a higher price?

I'd see it as the other retailers being even more overpriced. After all, this is a 2018 computer.

It's not that there aren't savings. It's the magnitude of the savings. Best Buy was comparing their sale price to the price of the machines when new using ad copy like "Save $1500! Previously priced at $4000!" Nobody sells them today for $4000.
