This all come out of a case that was just granted class activeness status . interior documents , plus deposition from preceding and current Best Buy employee reveal just how malevolent Best Buy is . A price lucifer is when , say , Circuit City advertised a Sharp HDTV for cheaper than Best Buy , Best Buy ’s public policy is to pit that cost .

But Best Buy actually trail employees in New York how to deny legitimate price match requests , and the average Best Buy store denies 100 toll matches a week . You even get pay off bonuses based on how many price matches you refuse !
Here ’s how it works , according to Phil Britton , a member of Best Buy ’s Competitive Strategies Group :
What is the first thing we do when a customer make out in to our lowly box brandish a competitor ’s ad asking for a price friction match ? We essay to build up a suit against the price match . ( commit me , I ’ve done it too ) . get ’s take the air through the “ Refused Price Match Greatest hit :

“ Not same model ? Not in stock at the competitor ? Do we have loose widget with purchase ? Is it from a warehouse club ( they have rank fee , you know ) ? Limited Quantities ? That competitor is across town ? We ’ve start out funding ! Is it an internet price ? It ’s below cost ! … .. ”
If you live in NY land , and you ’ve been roll in the hay by Best Buy ’s anti - price matching , HD Guru has further info on the attorney to contact so you may take a objet d’art out of Best Buy . Whata crowd of scum .

Update : Giz reader Jake reveal how they goldbrick you on manikin identification number to avoid price matching :
Example : A few months ago my married woman and I were looking at a Frigidaire Washer . The model we were interested was the ATF8000FS . At Best Buy , we found the washing machine there however it was displayed as the ATF8000FSL . At first I figured “ Oh this must be some variation on the original example number , like how manufacturer sometimes supply a missive to the closing of the manakin to indicate the production color . ” in any case , to make a long account short , this ATF8000FSL was not usable from the manufacturer .
The “ L ” was added on by Best Buy in ordering for them to skirt around Leontyne Price matching . This is so no one can come to Best Buy and claim to have set up a lower cost of this product because no one else sells the product under the model phone number ATF8000FSL . It ’s ATF8000FS everywhere else . Best Buy will tell masses that its simply a different product , so therefore , no price matching . Even on the maker ’s sticker on the washer , it said ATF8000FS , as it was supposed to . Upon further investigation I could see that Best Buy ’s interior computers even listed the model as ATF8000FSL .
