My local Micro Center has 8TB WD Red Plus’ on sale for $149.99. Best Buy has them for $169.99.
On my way home from work I stopped at a Best Buy to grab a new hard drive for my degraded pool.
I’ve priced matched Micro Center’s prices at Best Buy dozens of times and was just told to GTFO. Best Buy’s checkout system refuses to go below a certain price and would not honor their price match policy.
I spoke to the store manager and he said he didn’t have the capability to override the checkout system.
Wtf is a price match guarantee if you don’t guarantee it.
Piss off and die Best Buy
Ex BB employee(its been a looooong time, like 2010), they absolutely have authority to price match, what might have happened is if you have an account they could have seen youre a constant “price matcher” and just gave you the run around to get you out. Never heard of them doing that for price matching, but we did do that for repeat return/exchanges(had a guy come in and exchange laptops like once a week for a while, managers told him off).
Call corporate, theyre much more accommodating(or at least they used to be) and might be able to muscle your store into doing their job…or just buy from Micro Center and support an actual enthusiasts store
If the MC is local, buy it from there.
I’m going to guess, like many of us, this dude doesn’t live terribly close to a Microcenter.
Why try to price match anyway? Why not buy it from Micro Center??!?!
