Best Buy $9.99 TV offer was too good to be true

Few if any of the deals retailers have offered online during the recession have been as good as Best Buy Inc.'s sale price of $9.99 on a 52-inch TV Wednesday. But it quickly turned out the offer was too good to be true.

The electronics retailer said it will not honor the $9.99 price posted Wednesday morning on its Web site for a 52-inch Samsung flat-screen TV. By early afternoon, the TV was listed at $1,799.99, almost half off the original $3,399.99 price.

Bloggers and Twitterers lit up the Internet with posts about the offer, some insisting Best Buy must honor it, others making jokes.

Best Buy, based in Richfield, Minn., said it has corrected an online pricing error and will not honor the incorrect price. Orders made Wednesday morning at the incorrect price will be canceled and customers will receive refunds, the company said.

Best Buy did not immediately return a call for additional comment.

Fry's does not price match stupid greedy b*stards. I found the exact same Airport Extreme on THEIR OWN INVENTORY LIST and on their website but the dumb clerk says we can't do that. I'm asking how others got away with getting the same thing for $60 less and it seems shes too dumb she just said sir, they are not the same. I showed her the web pages online and the specs were exactly the same. Even though they dont have the same inventory between retail and online, the item #s are all the same. I ended up paying the rest and I regret going thereafter. It seems the spaceship by the Burbank Airport that came for brains didn't find diddly squat.

Back on topic, they must honor the price since in their OWN policy they state that the customer cannot be overcharged for ANY REASON. They shot their stupid selves in the foot....and ppl say Geek Squad helped me out. Going to the store in West L.A., a Seagate worker came by and looked at these guys weird, yes he did.

Yeah, it's because Frys.com is managed by outpost.com and not by "Fry's", they just use the name. The Burbank store is not one of my favorites either. :/ They have some real stupid people working there. I personally love the one in the City of Industry, with the industrial revolution theme. They have a lot more competent workers there.

They should honor it, but if they don't its not a loss to me. :p

Speaking of stupid, I ask over the phone if I could UPS a return over and the idiot says no and adds extra crap besides getting to the point like "What the hell, you crazy boi?!?!?!" and I tell him I can't return it any way else because I'm busy throughout the time of the return days and I tell him I get in 1 hour rush hour traffic coming from the CircuitCity Hollywood areas. He says "Boi U Crazay!!! I take 20 minutes and get my ass over there from East L.A." I cussed out the little wannabe and hung up.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
