$9.99 HDTVs at Best Buy… Just Kidding Best Buy Says “F You!”
Aug 13th, 2009 | By ThePointer | Category: Bidness WTFs
Yesterday morning, due to a pricing error, Best Buy’s website advertised 52-inch Samsung HDTV’s for only $9.99. With shipping the total cost was only $85. Thanks to people who apparently have no job and just browse the chain’s website for special deals, word quickly got out, with some patrons purchasing a number of the discounted TVs.
With no plans for anything but refunds, Best Buy basically told tech consumers to “suck it!” WTF has not traditionally been a big tech consumer, but a few visits to, and purchases from Best Buy, make us wonder if this stance is any different than their stance on any given day.
