  <title>Open Box Item Listing on bestbuy.com</title>
  <description>I have many times browsed through stores to get a bargain on open box or returned items. It would be great if the open box items can be listed on bestbuy.com and displayed to user based on proximity to the store.</description>

      <text>This would be nice. The only issue that I can see is there is a large delay in the updating of the inventory system between it and the POS system.</text>

      <text>I'd like my local stores to send me open box items available via sms.</text>

        As is bb.com is rarely correct when it tells me that a product is or is not available at my local store.  It often tells me they don't have something and they do!
        
        But nickalusz makes a good point.  Sending a &quot;confirm&quot; to the store to hold the product for you to get there and then getting there only to find out that while you were hitting that confirm, someone was in-store buying it.  Seems it would cause more hassle than help.

      <text>This would be pretty cool if it could be implemented in a way that doesnt delay the inventory from online very much. I know my dad goes in there and does that everytime we go there lol.</text>

      <text>I would really like to see this implemented. This system is featured in many stores and if Best Buy does this, I'll potentially buy more open box items if the prices are at least about 7.5% cheaper than regular products.</text>

      <text>Check your local store page soon for this info. Very soon stores will be able to list their open box items on their store page (search via store finder).</text>
