Cool but would still rather shop from the comforts of home. That was a smart move on their part.

I like to walk into a brick and mortar to see an item (especially big-ticket) before buying it online...  Also I don't get charged tax from Amazon and we have 7% sales tax here which adds up quick on a TV or something big.  I just bought a SiriusXM tuner for my car stereo last weekend.  $79.99 at BB and $30.24 on Amazon - they price matched it but weren't happy about it.  Just goes to show how much markup they have on this stuff.  No different that auto parts stores vs online.

Referral URLs fall under post for personal gain, which a forum guideline exists for. If it's a true issue, the best method to deal with it is to contact management. Posting about it here does nothing.

Open box sales are a risk so you have to ask yourself if the risk warrants the purchase.

Never did a best buy open box, did a Fry's open box item once, it was an ECS Nforce3-A 754 board back in 2006 to replace my blown 754 board. Biggest waste of money ever
