The best promotion they could do is to LOUDLY honor those orders - that would get them positive press (aka advertising) worth more than the products they practically gave away.

If you listed the supercharger price as $9.99 and 100 people ordered would you honor that price and take that loss? That would make you a stand up kinda guy but do you really think that would do anything extra for your sales? Would you fire the guy that made the mistake?

I would never make a mistake that big. And yes, I have covered (smaller) mistakes like that in all of my businesses I have owned. And yes, when I have done that, I believe my customer retention stays very high, resulting in more sales over time.

What I'm saying is the positive press Best Buy could get out of their mistake is potentially huge. If someone crunched numbers, they would come up with a yes or a no. But I'm willing to bet they aren't even looking at it that way. Shame.

I agree w/ you 500% on the above...seen/heard reports of it w/ Home Depot. People nowadays, even if they are in a hurry, will waste their errand time to complain and get an employee fired because they weren't offered the price that was labeled under the item (even though the price tag description wasn't even of that items)......

We're savage...... :(

sorry guys, there not honoring the price of the TV and you'll be getting a refund

not surprised, same thing happened to me last time this happened as well

[Kioshi]

I'm w/ camell on this. Its to make up for their mistake..or tell the public a special offer is being ran on this TV, till further notice.

Usually clearanced merchandise have the label, "clearance" or "old model"....this is not the case w/ this TV in particular. I know, because my family and I bought a 32 inch some years ago from Best Buy w/ that tag clearance on it...

True, they dont have to, but THEY DO. Its better to advertise than to get thousands of inquires by random customers at store/online about why a particular item is at THIS price. Trust me, I've worked at hella retail places, customers are retarded about open packages and price slashes.....

Clearance tags have been put on at BestBuy stores here at the store nearest to me....as for online, a SALE text is added to items w/ reduced pricing.....

Thats not always true. You have the part right about bringing in people to browse, but not majority will buy unless they see..."monkey see, monkey do"

Go to Bestbuy.com, put the cursor over OUTLET STORE, that same TV that was on here for $9.99...and read the whole description bro~~

Actually here is the last part - "Remember to check back often, as the products and deals are changing all the time"......

Never did it say it was a clearance or last year's item, just special offerings on it, AND i think we all know why the special offerings are on it....LOL

[Kioshi]

You seem really Pro BestBuy...lol no offense, it use to be a good store to me, not so much nowadays..... And you're right, they won this battle...DAMMIT!!!

All in all, we will all have to wait next time's mistake, but this mistake is fact enough for the majority of us that BestBuy IS/WAS at fault.

:)

@ camell - i gave up on BestBuy, their electronics suck, unless i need a crappy headphone or something then I'll go there, other than that, I import all my electronics (currently trying to import a D-Dock station from Panasonic)

[Kioshi]

i meant "pro bestbuy" towards you Pavel....it sounded like you were from your comments, kind of taking BestBuy's side on this mishap....

Greedy they are, but here we have fine Filipino girls working so I don't mind the sneaky part lol...
I'm not greedy :D

[Kioshi]

I wouldn't accept the $9.99 tv because its under Outlet Store....my TV could be refurbished?! O_O...........

If it weren't under Outlet Store category, i would, and then sell it on ebay for Vitz Turbo muawahahahah

[Sabretooth]

Factory Refurb is better than a Display item, or a Open box in my opinion...

Even if you get the deal at $10, and it breaks 10 months later, its covered under warranty. Rather than the people that went to Circuit City when they went belly up and bought a Display Plasma screen TV for $500, no warranty, and they broke 2 months later..

Check your options, if you got a TV for $10, and you just sell it on Craigslist broken, im sure you can get at least that money back.
