I am really pissed off right now.

Looking on Best Buy's web site, there's an open box microwave showing up in Dubuque, IA for $251. I confirmed this morning it's still there. We were going to Dodgeville WI today, so we were only about 45 minutes away. Went to the store, it's marked $354 on the price tag. Well, maybe the online price is different. I check on my phone, and on my phone it is $399. WTF? So I walked out. I get home, get on the computer, $251.

I figured out that it matters what your home store is. Don't make your home store the store where the open box item is. That changes the pricing. I opened a private window, set my home store to Dubuque, and sure enough, the price is $399. Change to La Crosse, the price drops to $251. I don't have any plans to go that way again in the near future. Maybe I can find a different one when we go to Minneapolis in about a week. I'll just have to remember to set my home store to something other than where the microwave is.

Or, I think someone has one, same model on FBM in St Paul for $100. Said it's only a year or so old, and pulled it when remodeling.
