Best Buy Bait and Switch

Best Buy Intranet Rip Off

Ever rush down to Best Buy because you saw THE perfect computer on sale, only to arrive and be told the sale was over? Did the Best Buy employee show you “proof” on their “website”? It now seems that there are really TWO websites, and they’re identical except for the prices. Here’s the deal:

• You walk into a Best Buy to purchase a sale item you saw on their site.

• The employee tells you that the item is no longer on sale, and shows you what looks to be Best Buy’s website, but it’s really a secret intranet that Best Buy’s corporate office denies exists. The price on the website shows that the sale is over.

• You cry and leave, then at home you see that the sale isn’t over at all. What happened?
