Does Best Buy still do price adjustments on items bought within 30 days that have their prices lowered? That Chappelle's Show disc came out on 7/25, so as long as people have their receipts, they shouldn't have a problem getting the difference back, right?

While that's true in theory, I know many people have hard times getting price adjustments when BB suddenly drops the price on an item that many people bought at it's initial pricepoint.

Here's what the site says:

Store Price Guarantee
If you're about to buy at a Best Buy store and discover a lower price than ours, let us know and we'll match that price on the spot.

Already bought? We'll refund you the price difference, plus an additional 10% of that difference – up to 30 days after your purchase (14 days on desktop computers, notebooks, projectors, monitors, printers, camcorders, digital cameras and radar detectors). In either case, simply bring in proof of the price on the same available brand and model, from a local retail competitor.

Exclusions apply. For full details, please see our store price guarantee policy.

What if I find a lower price at a local Best Buy store or BestBuy.com?

If you find a lower price on BestBuy.com or at another local Best Buy store either at the time of your purchase or within 30 days of your purchase (14 days for desktop computers, notebooks, projectors, monitors, printers, camcorders, digital cameras and radar detectors), we will refund you 100% of the difference. The extra 10% of the difference does not apply. (Web exclusive offers advertised on BestBuy.com are not eligible for price matches.)



I've seen employees get openly hostile towards a price adjustment on an item purchased previously at Best Buy.

So it should work, but YMMV.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

re: PM previous purchase. I did it once, for a PC game, by bringing the receipt in and showing them their own ad. No problem.
If I thought there'd be a problem, however, I would just buy the item under the current price, then return that same item with the first receipt. If they're going to resisit complying with their own policies, I'll just use other policies.
