I went to BestBuy to buy an item that I had first seen on their website. I wanted it that day.

It was more expensive in the store and when I questioned the price I was told it cost too much to stock so that is why the price online is less.

I did end up getting it for the online price but I had to push for it.

“It was more expensive in the store and when I questioned the price I was told it cost too much to stock so that is why the price online is less. I did end up getting it for the online price but I had to push for it.”

Best Buy pretty much makes up random excuses about the pricing differential. They’ll also price match their own online prices, though they’ll often grouse about it.

Best bet at Best Buy is to walk in and ask right off the bat if they’ll price match their online prices without saying what you want to buy and look like you’re about to flee if they won’t. They’ve always matched when I’ve made that approach.

Actually, our Best Buy will price match ANY legitimate competitor’s price in their entertainment electronics area.
