Top of the line TV $1500 cheaper less than two months later

Hi,
I recently, April 11, bought a brand new top of the line (from what I was told by the sales associates) TV with the latest technology for $5000.00. I looked on the website today as I was shopping for a different item and saw that it was on sale for $3500. I realize that part of electronics is the in with the new brings prices down but that figure less than two months later is astronomical. It's nearly 1/3 off.  I may be naive, but I never would have bought the top of the line had I known that it price would change so much.
I called the rewards hotline (I'm an elite member) and they let me know that I could talk to the store manager because 15 days had passed and they had the final call. I went in and the manager basically told me the best he could do was offer me 50% off  laptop accessories. Not exactly what I was looking for.
I am extremely dissapointed. Again, I realize that prices of electronics change but $1500 in less than two months is crazy to me. I learned a lesson but was hoping that someone could help me out.
I would be willing to put any money I receive back right back to Best Buy for a new laptop ect...or at least a discount on that laptop. Otherwise I will have to go elsewhere
I have been a loyal customer for many years (my family as well) and I think this would definitely change the opinion of the company/ I was told that I could talk to a manager who could help me out but then went in and found out that he could lose his job if he helped me. Quite confusing. 
Thank you

Hello jyg24,
As a TV show binge watcher, I know I’d be ecstatic to purchase a TV like yours. I can imagine the quality of picture alone would be amazing, so I’m disappointed to hear you’re ultimately disappointed with the purchase after discovering such a dramatic price drop outside of your Return and Exchange Promise.  I’m always on the lookout for the best price possible for all my purchases, so it’s completely understandable why you would wish to have this price honored on your TV.
Regrettably, please know we’d be unable to honor any price adjustment request outside of your extended 30-day return and exchange period as an Elite My Best Buy customer. 
Respectfully,
Alex|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • Macbook (mid 2012, 9,2) has very poor performance since the day I bought it (less than 2 months ago)

    Problem description:
    My macbook is extremely slow since the day I bought it (which was less than 2 months ago)…Came preinstalled with Mavericks and 4GB of RAM. Upgraded it to 16GB hoping that would help, but that did very little…then upgraded to Yosemite. That just made it worse. Formatted the whole thing and installed clean Yosemite. Still, every time I right click, I get the rainbow loading icon and it hangs. Every time I open any file, or click any app, it hangs for a few seconds, again with a loading icon. Every time I play a song on iTunes or even VLC for that matter, it stops multiple times, every few seconds. Feels like it’s “buffering” while I’m playing a song off my hard drive. It’s been bothering me for too long now…Any idea what the issue is exactly?

    If it has been slow since it came out of the box, it's probably defective. The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

  • 5c, less than two months old, just went dark and will not respond to charging, restore or itunes at all.

    HELP! i'm new to iPhones, and so far have been happy. thanksgiving night the phone was acting up so i made sure all updates and software were current, and restored.  woke up yesterday to dead phone. thought the outlet where i'm staying might have been broken, but it's the phone. not communicating with itunes, not charging, totally non-responsive.  HELP! is there anything to do besides go to the store?  thanks.

    I am not disputing your statement is not logical or factual. However production of these devices are at least in my neck of the woods readily available. I just walked in less than a week ago and bought a new Apple 5s and my number was ported into it within twenty minutes. So it depends where you live I guess.
    Using an analogy of too new to have refurbished devices I would say depending on production and the rate of failure with customer base thrown in (all providers) there has to be returned and refurbished devices. Be it fair!are on day one or day twenty one. You have piqued my curiosity in that I am going to call verizon first, the do a web search to see if broken iPhone 5 devices are replaced with brand new devices.
    Of course since I have the 5s it would be a legitimate inquiry.
    Happy Sunday

  • Just bought new replacement iphone from apple store and less than two hours later, the screen went blurry and I can barely see anything. Phone still functions fine though.

    Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks

    Bad luck. Take ti back.

  • When I bought an iPod touch 4G, the service coverage limits was less than 12 months

    Recently, I bought an iPod touch 4G 8GB model from a local apple store. I went home and checked the serial number and I found out that the guarantee time left was about 6 months (it said it was to expired on 2 January 2013, but I purchased it yesterday). I don't even opened the seal yet. I called the seller, and he told me to register my product after opening the seal. But I'm afraid to doso by myself because I thought he would just blame me that I blew the guarantee time myself by whatever way or means.
    Now, I want to ask anybody. Does this matter is normal for all new purchases of iPod touch ?

    I've checked the website you mentioned and that's where I put in the SN. However, this is what showed up.
    I bought it not from an authorized seller but this store had quite good reputation for selling apple product in Indonesia. I bought the product on 2 August 2012 (2 days ago). I'm not sure if the store would sold me a used one but the case was still sealed. But I noticed that the PN was MD057ZP which is different from my other iDevice that had ID instead of ZP. When I tried to register the product, this what happens
    (it said that my product had been registered with another ID)

  • Audio issues twice in less than two months

    Just wanted to put it out there based on some info that my verizon tech rep. gave me - I bought a Pre Plus on April 13th, 2010 and within 19 days of purchase (next day after downloading 1.4.1.1) I received a phone call, but didn't hear a thing. I call the person back and don't hear anything. They call me back and I try speaker phone; suddenly I hear a voice and they hear me. Now it's May 30th and I'm on my 2nd Pre Plus, and last night it happened again. For whatever reason and just out of the blue, unless I'm on speaker I can't hear anyone and no one can hear me, and it happens for no apparent reason other than a possible software glitch.
    The tech support person from Verizon mentioned that they receive their known issues from Palm, so I'm writing here to say that this might be something to look into. Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I've been on pre|central and have seen your posts, and after spraying the earphone jack with air and carrying out suggestions from yours and the pre|central threads my phone now works as it should've all along, however I have decided to jump ship. I spoke to my carriers tech rep. and they explained that Palm/HP doesn't see this as a big enough issue to do anything about it - i.e. carriers get a "known issues" list from Palm, and this isn't on it. Maybe behind the curtain they'll do the hardware/ software fix and the next batch of phones will have better aux jacks or something to prevent this, but for all of us previous owners... we're screwed unless we continue to turn in our phones over and over with the warrenty until the newest and better batch has arrived, bug free and all.
    I myself decided that if I'm going to invest the next two years of my calls and multimedia into a phone then I certainly don't want to have to carry around a set of headphones and my bluetooth just in case this happens again b/c Palm overlooked this issue, so I'll be getting an entirely new phone. I loved my Pre (other than the lack of apps in comparison w/ android, iphone, etc.), but alas our time will be up soon enough.

  • Less than 2 months post bk, scores soar!

    Scores after bk were around 490ish and less than 2 months later, my experian fico is 627! Equifax and transunion are 534 and 518. I applied for two capital one cards and since leaving a small balance on both, my scores raised significantly. I am excited! Ill be at 700 within the 2 year timeline for sure !!

    If your card closes on the 18th. It will be due on the 12th. It reports on the 7th then you pay on the 8th. This way you carry a "reporting" balance but still never pay interest. I always report 7% balance. Nothing more. Nothing less!!!!! It is a pain but it has worked for me. I hope this helps someone. BK is absolutely frightening. Im 6'3" 235lbs. It brought me to my knees!!! But there is hope. Hang in there!!! Just remember this one thing. Your Fico is a credit score..not a debt score.. If you don't show how you manage credit your score will see very little movement. USE your cards and let it show. $0 reported balance means 0 activity to the computing formula. Good luck. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!This, by far, has to be the best and still a little hard, tip to date for repairing credit! Thank you! I am trying to get all of my due dates the same or very close together. In the interim, I am using this method of using maybe 3 cards, then rotating. 

  • I am set to send my top of the line HP pc in for repair

    i am set to send my top of the line HP pc in for repair . im very pleased with HP as useual . i bought my HP AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor with 8 gig ram 1 gig video card and all the good stuff over 1 year ago . i had blue screen problems from the begining . and i suspected it was a hareware issue and HP service was thinkoing it was software . so i was stuck with a top of the line pc with problems that could not be solved . but i didnt quit on HP  i know they would help if i could just prove my solution was in fact hardware ., so months went buy and as hardware goes it can stay hiden for long and the problem got biger . so now i have the isues being adressed by way of FED EX and the HP factory . at zero cost to me ofcourse . the thing is that i buy HP pc BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY AND SERVICE . yes i can build my own pc for less cost . i have done it befor . but the extra cost for a HP qulity seviced pc is a diference of about $300.00 . insted of building my own with all the same parts i got now i could have built the same thing . but it would not be the same at all . no 24 hour on line service . no free shipping and repairs . no consant kowlage of the latest driver and products . at to top it of i also bought anougher 3 year exstended warenty service for $150.00 . so i got 4 years of service coming to me still that will garenteed me a great pc that sill works like a top of the line product should . garenteed . yeah we you got to understand a bit about building your own pc . it would have given me 10 companys to call for hahaha service , thats a joke . the 10 companys i wpould have had to buy a part from each one and not one company is going to garentee anything of anoughter product . so with HP it one call to one company that garentees you a service under understandable rules . so i just got maybe $75.00 of my warenty paid for just in free FED EX shiping both ways . so if you add it up and i have bough crudy pc parts befor and there is no help like HP to save me . so yeah i didnt get the best pc day one but what could we do till we could understand the problem . so i just think my day has come 5that all my money that i cant AFORD IS GOING TO GET ITS VALUE FROM HP . thats what i payed for and a home build pc is not what it adds up to realy be in the catolog . so i ant going quit till i see my HP pc back in 2 weeks and its going to work great or why would they fix it . it was just a isues we had wether it was software (windows) or hard ware . they could not fix a hard ware problem so i was screewed if i didnt quit thinking HP  and me had toi get a solution and it can at last . i dont know how i new it was hardware . i built many pc befor just with junk parts and it was the same kinda thing is all i can tell ya . blue screen for all my exsperence has always been a hardware isues so i got the facts now my 1 gig  video card is now showing the hardware problem so im glad i was right . im like being a dumb fool believeing in trust and honor and they had a righouse point that if windows was doing it they couldnt be held responcable and i would have been stuck . but i got my service and quality i payed for thats all i got to say . so i tell you i do laughf at people with priter problem i must  say that my exsperence with printers is to just buy a new one every time it brecks i would not call HP for a printer glich . printers are crap that only last so long so . i buy a new one about once a year but its because they are so cheep that it would cost more  in postage then the thing is worth fixing . but i dont kid around about my $1,397.00 HP pc thats not crap at all and it worth every penny . and i know HP ant dummys if they got a error in the pc deartment there going to fix it or they are going to sell anything to make there launch money . thats what i think any way . so my faith is in the repair department for now and my pc never did couse much if a big problem . i been useing it everyday . it would just shut down on me every so often . but it did bug me to spend that much money i dont have for a glich in a pc i love . so i just say . boy i hope they fix it good and not just the video card error but the root of the whole problem . so it will all go away . i hope i do . thank you HP  and thank to all that suport a fine quality product and service that HP provides . im gonna go play my facebook game now . bye bye .

    3. WHO gets the message about a password (you or the receiver, or both)?

  • I have a 6 month old top of the line iPad 4 I can't figure out. IN ANY WAY!

    Today I get in my emal something about refunds for people whose children have charges up apps to my account with iTunes. Well I can't even find WHERE on my iPAD I have the icon FOR iTUNES!  I see people show it as a blue symbol with notes and it says iTunes.  My iPad does NOT have that. YET when I try to go download it from the iTunes store it says that iTUNES came with my iPAD so where is it??
    There is a RED emblum with a double note but it says MUSIC!   Is that the same thing as the iTunes?  
    What is the task manager? And where you do find that?
    I get no answers on anything as to how to work this thing and it is extremely upsetting.  I paid $1,200 for this iPad and my husband paid the same amount and got a REALLY NICE DELL and I have this thing I can't even use! Then on top of it when you write something like this you get an email from the Apple/ Mac people saying they took your post off because it was not positive enough for them - so how do you find out anything?

    islandantoinette here is a copy of Apple's email (click the image below to enlarge it):
    The operative words are "Check your email for iTunes receipts or use a computer to sign in to your iTunes account ..."
    I trust that answers that question.
    What is the task manager?
    An iPad has no such thing. It has no Start button either. You can draw no comparison to a Windows PC because an iPad isn't a Windows PC; it's an entirely different category of product. It's like comparing a microwave oven to a barbecue grill - they both cook stuff, but that's where the comparisons end. If you want a Windows PC there are plenty of cheap things from which to choose for which you must tolerate ctrl-alt-del when you log in every time, among other indignities. PCs have had well over a quarter century of refinement, so you'll know what to expect.
    I have seen everyone from nonagenarians to two - year olds pick up an iPad and use it in seconds. Literally. I can't say the same about any PC. Both iOS devices as well as Macs also incorporate a robust range of accessibility options to accommodate people with limited sight, hearing, or other challenges both physical and mental. I understand your frustration with learning to use a radically new and different device, but it seems to me anyone in your circumstance given a PC for the first time would be facing a practically insurmountable challenge. Besides, wouldn't be worth the effort since the popularity of PCs is diminishing rapidly in the face of iOS devices the market clearly prefers.
    I'm still trying to understand how it was possible to spend $1200 on a top of the line iPad whose suggested retail price could not have exceeded $929. If you purchased AppleCare+ that would add $99. Sales taxes would have had to be 17% for your total purchase price to be $1200. Is that correct?
    The reason for asking is that if you purchased AppleCare, complimentary customer support regarding any subject is extended beyond the initial 90 days for the duration of the AppleCare agreement. You can call AppleCare and discuss any iPad-related subject with them at length, at no additional cost. You will find Apple's representatives incredibly patient and will work with you for as long as possible, weeks or months if necessary, to resolve any question you may have with your iPad. No other company on Earth can come close to the quality of support that Apple offers its customers.
    The point is that you have many, many support options from which to choose. All you have to do is avail yourself of them.
    Good luck.

  • II am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

    I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

    PogoPossum,
    My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
    Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
    What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
    I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
    Does this help?

  • Should I buy the top-of-the-line 15" MBP or the Baseline 15" model (isa)

    Now, I'm looking to buy a new 15" MBP when Mac OS X Lion comes out (isa). But my problem is should i buy the top-of-the-line model or the Baseline Model (isa).
    So, I'm also waiting for the MBP with the new design maybe 2013 model (isa) so let's say the MBP is going to stay with me for 1 and a half years or two years(isa). I also have to tell you that I'm NOT THAT MUCH OF A GAMER, so tell me guys, with all the info that I've given you. which one do you recommend. O, btw, this is my FIRST Mac (isa).Plus, I'm also planning to upgrade the screen resolution to 1680 by 1050 resolution and the HDD to 500GB@7200RPM (isa)

    It really depends on how your going to use it. For general usage, the baseline 15" model will be fine. The major difference between the baseline and top of the line model is the graphics card. Since you don't do much gaming, the improved graphics the top of the line model offers won't really effect you and the graphics card included in the baseline model is plenty fast any way. The faster processor clock speed offered by the top of the line model will offer a negligible performance improvement in day to day use too, only really benefiting you in more advanced tasks like video editing. 
    Finally, since you only plan to keep the MBP for 1 & 1/2 years, there's really not much point in spending large amounts of money on upgrades when you plan to replace the system soon.
    Overall, in your case, there isn't much point in getting the top of the line model since you don't need the extra graphics performance unless your doing high end video editing, photo editing or gaming (which you say your not). Stick with the baseline model.

  • SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

    Hi,
    I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
    to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
    I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
    "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
    I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
    renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
    Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
    error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
    And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
    1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
    2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
    I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
    1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
    In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
    Clean the solution
    Shut down Visual Studio 2010
    Open Visual Studio 2010
    Rebuild the solution
    Package the project2
    et voila the package is generated!
    This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
    no longer be hanging onto something.
    Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
    solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
    2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
    3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
    does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
    4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
    from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
    5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
    6. The error seems to occur in
    CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
    Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
    project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
    Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
    Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
    project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

    Hi
    Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents  to
    c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
    This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
    Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
    Now, the error seems to be related to 
    Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
    <metaData>
    <type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
    <importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
    </metaData>
    <data>
    <properties>
    <property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
    <property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
    </properties>
    </data>
    </webPart>
    </webParts>
    .... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

  • Can I set the value of kernel paramaters less than default in Solaris 10?

    Can I set the value of kernel paramaters less than default in Solaris 10? If specified less than default values for kernel parameters in /etc/system, system is getting default values for such as SHMMAX, SEMMSL, SEMOPM. Is the default kernel parameter values the minimum values in Solaris 10?
    -Yong

    Yes, but not through /etc/system.
    /etc/system is the old way to do it. As a backward compatibility, it will allow lines there to increase parameters but not decrease them. This is on the theory that many memory defaults were significantly increased, and older /etc/system setups were trying to increase small defaults, not decrease large ones).
    Use prctl and set up a project.

  • Can't upgrade with less than a month on contract left....don't want "The Edge" program either

    My husband and I are both due for upgrades May 14, 2014 (less than a month away)- we were refused a new 2 year contract with the purchase of 2 Samsung S5 phones yesterday in store and told to call customer service and they would adjust our update date.  After 45 minutes on the phone with them, mostly on hold waiting to speak with a supervisor because their cs rep was rude, we were told they would approve an early upgrade for any phone EXCEPT the one we want.  They would rather makes us wait to upgrade 30 days, with my husbands phone not holding a charge, and allow us time to decide which provider we want to move to than sign us to two new two year contracts.  Is this how loyal customers are treated?

    CAUTION: If u currently have an UNLIMITED DATA PLAN... then, u do NOT  want to use your upgrade, because u loose it, after the upgrade!!! ... I still have the old UNLIMITED DATA PLAN, because, they told me, I'd loose it, if I upgraded... only way to keep your unlimited data plan, is to get a phone from online... Amazon, ebay, or pay full price for a phone,which stinks, but it's better then loosing unlimited data!

  • My iPhone just goes dead. It's not low on battery and this is the second one I have had do it. I have a 4s less than 4 months old. Anyone else?

    This is the second iphonev4s I have had to just turn off and can't get it to cone back on. I charge them to make sure it's not battery but they still won't come on. The first one did it within 30 days so they replaced it. My current one I have had less than 4 months. Anyone else?

    Unless you have another USB cable, and if that fails another computer to test the connection with, then I'd suggest you take the phone into an Apple store.
