price match

[jdrus24]

not sure where this goes and this is probably a stupid question but here it goes. Does best buy price match amazon? thanks for all the help.

Most likely not. Some you can get lucky with and they will, but it's a slim chance.

THEY SHOULD, Amazon is the biggest threat to the Brick and mortars existence

BB doesn't match Amazon because amazon works on at best half the margin that BB does on media sales. Amazon blows through low overhead high volume

When you eat in a restaurant, your $6.95 burger and fries you had for lunch only ran them about $1.75 for the bun, meat and fries. The rest goes for the electric/gas/heating/cooling bill, to pay the guy that cooked it, to pay the rent/mortgage. Typical formula (or so Gordon Ramsay tells it) is 4:1.

BB is in high priced areas. Your local amazon warehouse is in some industrial park

little off topic, but....

i was at my best buy just yesterday and i found a single copy of master and commander. the only one ive found in all 10 some best buys around my area.

so i picked it up, for 35$. ha.

my question would be.....since i want to watch this movie right now, but dont want to pay 35$ for it, if i were to order one off amazon, open and watch the one i got from best buy, and then return the copy i get from amazon with my best buy receipt once it comes, would that work?

theres probably an easier way of asking that, but, eh. anybody ever make something like this happen? im really tempted to throw this bd in and watch the crap out it.

It should work without any concerns...I've done this before with games and such...found a cheaper deal and returned the copy to Best Buy to get a full refund (returned copy still sealed)

Best Buy does not price match most online stores (unless the website you are trying to compare has a store within their competition range...Wal-Mart, Targer, Circuit City, etc.)

Got some price matches from using Wal-Mart.com and they matched the price right away.

i know off topic but id be suprised if it was even costing them $1.50 for the meal lol
you can make a fortune in food if u can cook well!

they don't but Target.com is really just Amazon.com (they have the same prices and if you buy from Target.com Amazon actually sends you the movie), but most employees don't know this and will let you do it. So print off a page from Target.com and try, you'll have a much better chance.
