No joy in Champaign, IL.

Kpt., Orion.

BTW...Do you ever go to the Tri-Cities flea market near the Bristol Motor Speedway (if you were there in Nov./Dec. of last year, you may have talked to me or my wife since we set up with our extra box sets during the pre-holiday season on Saturdays last year). We were the ones with lots of tv sets (only had DVDs).

And my apologies to Rehmus, who was trying to be helpful with the road info. I was just being silly about the road trip to the BB being discussed. With the current price of gas & the distance involved, it would be hard for usto save any money or even break even with the bargains listed. No disrespect to you, Rehmus. I do appreciate you & all others who post bargains here, even the YMMV ones that only those in the proximity can take advantage of...believe me, if we lived close enough, I'd be all over the deal for a copy of each.

Still ot, but I know of exactly one. In the north St. Louis county area, years and years ago: West Florissant Ave. at I-270. It's now an OfficeMax or OfficeDepot (I forget which).

Back on topic (somewhat): Thanks, OP. Even though I can't take advantage of most YMMV deals, every once in a while there's one that works. There's no point in leaving out "local specials" when someone can benefit. (And maybe on one of these local specials, I'll benefit also...eventually...I hope.)

They do relocate stores on a regular basis, usually about 25 locations every year.

That's interesting to me. I've never seen a closed Best Buy store.

can someone please let me know if there is a best buy fridge available in their area? i will paypal 100 immediately to cover purchase/shipping/trouble

thanks so much

Here is an update. At my Best Buy today: Avp gift set $99, Harry potter 2disc w/mask $13, Little mermaid w/jewelry $13, Bugs life set $13, Surfs up set $13, Pirates 2disc w/figure $23, WWF fans packs Cena, Mysterio, Michaels, all $13, Hairspray Locker $44, Giant size pirates doll $5, Pirates Chest cd player $10. The Natural gift set $13, and a couple of more. If I remember them I will add them. And I didnt buy a single thing!

Edit: Never mind. Got 'em.

300 w/ Helmet is also $12.99 for those who can find it. Saw it yesterday, but didn't get one since the box weren't in perfect condition.

Since this is YMMV, are the marked down items usually on a table with a sign?

Well I actually went in to look at printers and just happened to glance over at the discount table and sure enough, PotC-At Worlds End normally $39.00 down to $8.99!!
Considering I'm one of the few out there that hasn't seen it well.....Of course they still have the "normal" DVD for $17.00.

duuuuuuuuuuudes

need avp and seinfeld
will payyyyyyyyyy

I saw Seinfeld and King of Queens today and thought about having them scanned. Id hate to take up 2 huge sets just to see that theyre regular price. They were on their own wire rack though, does that mean theyre not getting rid of them? I also saw that 18 inch Pirates figure, a bunch, theyre $5?

The 18 inch Pirates figures were definatly $4.99 when I was there on Monday, they had two, a guy grabbed both and bought them before I left. I dont know if they are YMMV or if it is nationwide. Its always worth a price check.

Here is the link to the 18" Captain Teague Figure.

You can order the WWE Ultimate Fan Editions (except the Cena one, which is sold out online) from bestbuy.com the Best Buy in-store kiosk for $12.99 + shipping if your store doesn't have them in stock.

Thanks for the link. I couldn't resist a big ol' Keith Richards action figure at that price...

Keeping with the OT, but actually every BB around me here in lovely Northern Virginia has closed and moved. Well, by every I mean the two closest stores to me and the only ones I ever go to. The Seven Corner's store opened in the mid-90s, maybe 1992-93, closed somewhere between 2001-2003 and became the Bailey's Crossroads store.

Seriously, it was one of the stupidest moves I've ever seen. To go from a prime location that was easier to get to, in the middle of everything with at least 5x the amount of parking and was in a fairly upscale shopping centre surrounded by big retail stores like Barnes & Noble & Home Depot to a significantly smaller store in a run-down shopping center (at the time) made up of tiny privately owned stores and with absolutely no parking whatsoever (They built the Best Buy in the middle of the parking lot, separated from the shopping centre itself.)...

Well, luckily they opened up another store around the same time, as I stopped going there and went to... The Tyson's Corner store opened around 2003, closed in 2006 and moved about a mile up the road. The original location again was insanely easier to get to and it was in the middle of everything. It was much nicer as it was a two floor location and a nice change from the recent generic BB layout. The new store is at the edge of the area and is a total pain in the ass to get in and out of. Only benefit being going from a parking garage underneath the store to an actual parking lot, but definitely not worth the negatives. So anyway, yeah, Best Buys do relocate, and from my experience the only reason they do so is to save money on rent at the detriment of the store.

Thanks, I just ordered one since I'm out of town and not near a best buy. Shipping is only $1.99. It isn't available for in-store pickup, unfortunately...

Yeah, one of mine moved less than a mile away, on the same street. Much larger location, with way more parking (plus even more on the roof). The old location still is empty... No clearance sale on anything when it happened though. They just moved all the stock, and actually opened the next morning.

Just thought I would repost here since there seems to be two threads:

It's still YMMV. I saw Pirates, Seinfeld, Little Mermaid, Shrek, and Harry Potter and only Little Mermaid, Shrek and Harry Potter were on sale and marked as such on the shelf, not on the sticker.

Picked up HP and I did bring Pirates and Seinfeld up to the register to check. Almost offered to put those two back, Seinfeld was really heavy and I was holding it for awhile looking around for 300 and V...almost offered....

This is at the Jacksonville Southside location still plenty of shrek, little mermaid and HP.

My BB never seems to run sales like these. Guess I'll wait a little longer on the Seinfeld box. :/

I don't understand how this is even possible, but I already got my Captain Taegue 18" figure today! I think I only ordered it the day before yesterday, in the evening.
