Put it like this... I don't even know anybody who works at Best Buy. I don't think the cat who told me knows anybody who works there either. And I don't know if it's the same at every Best Buy but there's one particular one in a popular city in GA... :whoo:

And everybody seems to know about it.

Didn't read the article, but they will probabl only match amazon deals and not 3rd party sellers.

As was pointed out in the comments, be on the lookout for Best Buy Exclusive models :dry:

Price matching Amazon is gonna put them out of business, though :laff:

:whoa:

not really though homie. I worked in the store for a few years and the amazon price isn't that much off most of the times. Besides once the salesman attaches to the respective basket they'll make some of the money back. I priced match Amazon ALL the time to close sales and our store was one of the top performers in Gross Margin STILL. It's all about the basket homie. (accessories, services, Geek Squad Protection)

They'll still make money off of accessories, because a lot of their shyt is some in-house brand name that you can't get off of Amazon. The HDMI cables they sell aren't the same brand as the ones people get for cheap online.

Bruh, you don't KNOW how much stuff is marked up. Besides not even Amazon is selling accessories at cost. Also you forget about GSP and Install rev.

Word. I hate those cheap ass cables btw. I've had clients take them FRESH out the cheap plastic bags and they not work or have loose connectors. :facepalm:

Gentlemen we're witnessing the slow death of Best Buy. I know many of us ate well when Circuit City breathed it's final breaths. This is no different.

It's only a matter of time. Now we wait.
