Best Buy sells a LOT of "not new" tech and I bought $1,687 worth to find out if any of it's worth it.

Best Buy Outlet is a complete roulette. sometimes they have things "open box" that look brand new. and sometimes they have "open box" that looks like the dog chewed through everything.
1:40 I EXTREMELY HATE IT WHEN ITEMS ARE POSTED AND THAT ITEM IS ACTUALLY UNAVAILABLE OR OUT OF STOCK
"Best Buy: It Could've Been Worse." Put that slogan on all the marketing material.

I’m glad Best Buy is still around. I very occasionally go to Best Buy when I need an item that very day, and I know that Microcenter will be really crowded. However on a day when Microcenter will not be crowded, or I can possibly wait for Amazon to deliver it tomorrow, I would never go to Best Buy.
A week ago, I bought a 43" TV to use with my CCTV system. It had 2 remotes in the box, neither would pair. Took it back to the store & got another one that fully functioned. As for the old one, they unboxed it, turned it on, put it back in the box, taped it up & slapped a sticker that was printed right there with a $30 price reduction. It was still there yesterday for $90 in exact same messy taped up box.
Always happy to see another video on this channel.
I recently bought a 55" S95F for $800 off msrp. There were several of them there, each was missing an item or two, so the worker just grabbed parts from each to give me a complete package. Ended up with a brand new panel (no hours and still had the protective film), and all of the accessories still wrapped in their original packaging. My first and only experience with Best Buy Outlet and now I'm a believer.
I love the Best Buy Outlet. I live a few miles from one, and over the years I've picked up our turntable, a Marshall speaker, several monitors, a Sony lens, and most recently my native Windows laptop that I use for testing things I'm working on. I ended up with a Samsung Galaxy Book for $130, and it's been perfect for what I need, Plus, it come with an actual return policy.
12:32 “lick it” 😭intrusive thoughts won
My 3 Outlet experiences: 1. Got a great deal on a Z1E Ally 6 months after launch 2. Got sent a much nicer laptop than I ordered, but it didn't fit in my backpack so I just exchanged it for a new laptop same as the one I'd ordered and 3. We got a great deal on a GE dishwasher that had taken a physical beating but has been great for the past year
12:31 “lick it” had me dead
I’ve bought my previous Macbooks and iPads at Best Buy outlet lol. Most recently, I bought my M5 MacBook Pro in brand new condition for $1300. I got lucky, just gotta search and wait for the right time.
I was hoping we'd get the black light earbuds test.
As someone who sets up these outlets, they are mostly focused on appliances, I don’t think you are the target for that part of Best Buy 😂
I ended up buying a traeger pellet smoker for around half off at BestBuy it was the floor display model. A long time ago I bought a kicker amplifier for around half off as well. Both deals weren't online and in store so it's worth a look in the open box section.
I paid $650 for my ip 14, month after when the 15 came out
I live about an hour away from a Best Buy Outlet, and they are great for buying appliances.
I bought an open box laptop a couple years ago and it was perfect I was pleasantly surprised.
