Why call yourself "best buy" when you are anything but? Never mind the fact I cannot find stuff in stock when I want to buy (only to be directed to order the stuff on line!) the stuff you do have, the pricing is horrible!
Okay, I got a few reward zone coupons, I figured I could burn off. More so, I was just being bored, looking at phones and stuff, just thinking about things. I looked up the note two because of some of the features, like multi window (would help rid me of an extra device during storm chasing) so I checked in the price.
Best buy wants 800 bucks for an unactivated device!
why!? That is the MSRP! Which, I guess would not be so bad, other then the fact AT&T wants 150 bucks less for the same thing!
I guess with all the promos best buy is running, they can gouge customers, or just expect most customers will just take the lower contract device so they don't bother to lower the price on the unactivated device, which is the same thing with no contract.
What are they getting out of this!? Does BB get money back selling subsidized devices? I would expect they lose money to this. If so, then they try to make up their loss by charging full MSRP on devices.
Why does AT&T have the thing for 150 dollars less? Bulk buy? I suspect there are a lot of best buys out there and a lot of AT&Ts.
Bah, I am just rambling now....![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](/styles/smilies/google/rolleyes.png)
I just found it ironic that I could buy a phone for LESS at a carrier store then a place that calls themselves the "best buy"
Done ranting (for now. I think
)
I guess for that price, I could walk into AT&T, and buy out a contract, and move my device to my own line if that will save my mom some cash![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/google/smilie.png)
