"6"^^ . . . "0"^^ . "Pro tip #1: If you see a good price online, print it out and bring it into the store with you. If you don't, they will not believe you when the in-store price is higher. They will direct you to their intranet, which will list the higher price. They got sued for this a while back, but 2 years ago when I got my TV they tried it on me.\n\nPro tip #2: On big purchases, they will wheel and deal. The sales people DO have authority to negotiate, especially if you are talking about getting a couple K worth of stuff and know what you are talking about. If you want something that they are pushing (last year's model, yet displayed prominently and/or paired with accessories), you can probably get them to knock some $ off the top of a big purchase. It helps to know what it sells for on Amazon/eBay or other retailers. It also helps to go at the end of the month.\n\nPro tip #3: Their prices on accessories and a lot of other 'small stuff' (power strips, head phones, phone cases, chargers, etc.) are positively horrendous. There a host of bar code scanning apps that will tell you the cheapest place to buy something, and even with shipping figured in, Best Buy gets crushed by online retailers (and sometimes Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer or other big boxes).\n\nPro tip #4: Don't fuck around with their Geek Squad. I've heard horror stories galore (though no personal experiences) and their labor rates are high. Chambana is bursting at the seams with pencil-necked dweebs who can fix up and trick out your jalopy laptop for case of beer or a date with your cute friend."^^ . "2"^^ . "5"^^ . .
