I had a very irritating time at my local Best Buy, attempting to get a price match. I bought a 9800Pro there about two weeks ago, and then bought another from Microcenter a few days ago after seeing this thread. I wanted to have Best Buy price adjust to Microcenter's price and get the additional 10% of the difference. Why not?
The greasy geek at customer service kept me for almost 10 minutes while he called to verify that it was in stock at Microcenter, despite a huge line behind me (which I had waited about 30 minutes in). Of course, it was out of stock at Microcenter.
I explained, nicely, that it shouldn't make one bit of difference whether it is in stock because I already have one. The purpose of the adjustment policy is to keep people from shopping elsewhere, and the stock check is done to determine whether a customer really could buy the item from a competitor. I explained that I had already purchased from Microcenter, and it was my choice whether to return a card to Best Buy or Microcenter--in other words, Best Buy could keep my sale under the terms of its policy, or it could refuse the price adjustment, see me return the card, and lose my business. He didn't care, and I returned my card to Best Buy.
I wonder what the president and/or stockholders would think about this use of "policy".
I know this is more of a rant, but be forewarned if you look for a price match or adjustment from another store.
