Will Best Buy Match Online Only Price?

Best Buy seems to be having a 2 day (7/14-7/15) "summer sale" and I'd love to get this tv:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1130981881933

I am heading down to delaware this weekend to visit a friend and would love to pick it up down there without sales tax, but it doesn't show as being in stock for pickup at any of their nearby best buys down there. If I went to a Best Buy down there and they happened to have it in stock, would they match the online sale price even though it says Online Only?

I do not believe they match online prices, I am pretty sure it is for B&M stores only. You have to have a flyer with you for a price match, I don't think printing out a web site page will work. Best Buy is bitchy like that most of the time..

If you're trying to match BB.com's online price, it is YMMV. They don't like to do it and say that they're different entities, yadda yadda, but you can talk them into it. Really, they should. If you're trying to match some other online price, I doubt you'll have any luck unless they're a local competitor.

Yeah I am just trying to match their own online price. I guess I'll just print it out and if a store should happen to have it, then I'll give it a shot.

The only problem with that is that if BB.com doesn't show it in stock at a particular store, you're SOL, which is the case here. Plenty of times they actually have items in stock that BB.com doesn't show.

I have had success with them matching online price although as mentioned they do not like to but you can get them to do it.
