I dont mean to be a pain. Basically I need Best Buy to price match because I am within 60 days on 3 of my phones. So I was hoping to get a better shot of the price tag and the detailed print. Any help is appreciated.

good luck with that. Bestbuy just told me on thursday that they are no longer price matching phones. Wouldn't price match for amazon wireless price. Said it came from corporate office.
Post here if you succeed.
That is weird. Best Buy price matched the amazon $149.99 price last week when we bought them. Also Endadget posted today that Best Buy was going to match online retailers permanently. The article specifically mentions Best Buy Mobile and cell phones, and even mentions price matching Amazon.

From what I read online, they will only pricematch online-only pricing if you buy from their online front. But when I was in store just this evening, they told me they dont really care and pricematch everyone.I got them to pricematch Dell.com and then at the register the guy hooked me up (probably since we talked about rooting for ages) and punched 99.99 in. The manager came over, didnt question a thing, and I got my Verizon Note 2 for $108 lol. Time to load up on accessories!

Good catch. I admit, I just glanced over it.
I go to Best Buy a few times a week. And they always do a great job of price matching. I havent gotten push back on it in a long time. I actually prefer shopping there because of their price matching, especially up to 60 days after purchase!

No indication on how long the price will remain, but Samsung phones have been all weird lately at Sam's Club. I've been watching the GS3 fluctuate from $200 down to 96 cents (Black Friday), up to $150 and now at $99 all within 2 months.
Debating myself to get another one of these and selling it, but not sure if that's a crazy thought.
If you have guys have any questions on Sam's Club lemme know, I've been working at a club's kiosk for 7 months now.

And they only tax you on the sales price 98.88 not 699 whatever.
If anything the sale will last for another week unless it changes today. Most stores received over 20 notes. There was no advertising.
Just word to mouth kind of thing.

Well no. Sometimes ebay sellers have a "surplus" of new phones and try to clear them out at a high-midrange price before the demand goes down. If it were me, I'd go the ebay route. If there's a problem with it, ebay guarantees returns and all that. I never buy directly from a person without a middleman.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I bought my Rezound new, sealed in the box from a Verizon employee who won it at work in a contest. They already had one and needed some cash.
I paid $200.00 cash for it (after ESN was verified, etc.)
Might be the BEST 200 bucks I have ever spent.
So back to the question, watch Craigslist and have the seller meet you at at VZW store to verify the ESN. You might not find NIB, but you should be able to get a good used one for a very reasonable price.
What he said. ^^^^

I have to agree with chef Thomas I've bought a whole lot of phones on eBay brand new, around a lil over 400 sounds right for that market.
I'd go that route or craigslist local. Sometimes there's similar deals in your local area and you can do the deal in person just get the ESN ahead of time, and check it then and also check it at time of purchase.
There's a tool for that by the way I don't have a link handy but can send you one.
If you buy a phone from.an individual make sure when you send them the money it clearly states it's a purchase of a phone, because you can dispute the payment and get your money back but if its marked as a gift your stuck like chuck, it used to be that way at least.

I'm guessing you are under contract so if rezound was on the acct the esn will be blocked until you pay the etf.

Yes I just ported my number to Google Voice and waiting for that to go through to automatically cancel my contract. I am going to pay Verizon what they need right after the number is ported. That's why I was waiting to post the sale on swappa. I wanted to make sure all was set with Verizon first.

Alright, so tomorrow I'm buying the Galaxy Note 2 off contract. On the website, it sticks to just being 700 dollars.
If I go to the store to purchase it (as I'm eager to get it already) will it still just be 700? I heard that already includes taxes and stuff. Or will tax still be added onto the 700bucks?

Every verizon listing on eBay (which are very few compared to other carriers) seem to be used with slight scratches on the screen. Or the biddings don't end for days down the road. Plus if something should happen, I feel safer with Verizon vs going through a hassle with the person I bought it from.
And I live in Lincoln, Ne, not many people selling new phones on Craigslist. I didn't find one listing for it. There was barely even any for the S3.
Plus, it's only about 40bucks cheaper, while it'd be nice, I'll make due.

450 is a VERY rare steal. I'd do that in an instant if I had the chance. I mean, if you know someone selling one for that low, point me in the right direction. But every normal listing is like 675 or pretty much retail price.

Amazon Wireless is the way to go. No tax and free 2 day shipping. If you currently have insurance on your account, it will stay and transfer to new phone once activated. There is also no activation fee.
I have done this multiple times buying off contract. Even had to go in to VZW store to get a micro sim for my S3 and had no issues.
so as the title states best buy price match guarantee worked in my success, that i would very surprised at!! i was shopping online sprint released me from contract using vzw prl's too much roaming they terminated me so i was shopping online at amazonwireless.com found the note 2 grey version only for 149.99 and the dna 49.99 out the door 200 bucks went to best buy asked for a manager showed him the pricing and sure enough they gave me both devices for 225 out the door i purchased the geek squad warranty. 9.99 a month per line i got it cause they give you one free battery for signing up was well worth it just for that!! and if you cancel before 30 days well then you get a battery for free and you help rep make a pinch of commision costing you nothing just thought i would share to all of those thinking that 299 was a hefty price like myself!! hope i have helped, pm me with any questions

Also anytime you are dealing with commission there are also chargebacks. So no you arent making the salesman any commission. But if their chargebacks are abnormally high you could be getting them in trouble.

I Did the same thing!
Got my Note 2 about little over 2 weeks ago for 189. PLUS got a $50 gift card that I applied towards the cost and end result was 149 bucks after tax.
What a great way to get a phone now though.. I used to always get my phones from Amazonwireless. But now that Best Buy Price Matches.. Ill be staying local till they quit doing it.

I used to work for Best Buy, they price match phones to other "brick and mortar" retailers. At the time, they didn't price match online retailers, but that policy has changed since I left. I bought my Note 3 from Best Buy and I just got it price matched to Radioshack, $299 for existing customers.

Not every employee in every store is going to give every customer the exact same response. If you would have asked for a manager then you could have gotten yours price matched as well. Kinda ridiculous for you to say they everyone is BS'ing about the same thing! It's a well known fact that Best Buy will price match other online retailers! If you didn't know, you must not read many posts here on XDA, or any other forums for that matter. What benefit would everyone get from lying about the price anyway!? Just because you're mad that everyone else paid less than you did, doesn't mean you should say everyone is lying. Actually, that's pretty freaking lame of you! Lol

Go to another best buy. What they told you was untrue. Like I said I got lucky with the $250 that I paid simply because the manager didn't inquire any further after seeing the price on the radio shack website. But at the very least you should get 50 off.

i went to radio shack on Saturday and was 299, but they only had it white..did not buy
woke up Sunday and saw radio shack for 249. i thought, let me try best buy and see if they will price match. First the manager said no, only 50 gift card. As he saw me turn to leave, he said let me check, came back a minute later and i got the black note 3 for 249.

This may be a dumb question, but were you at the end of your 2 yr contract to purchase at that price, or were you in the middle of your contract? Which gb version is that one? 16, 32, 64? Im guessing 32
I just checked amazon to get an upgrade on my sprint contact and I can get the note 3 for 199.99 just putting it out there in case people want to take advantage I know I am lol

Well, crap. I'm out $199.99 now. Thanks for the tip. I just became eligible for an upgrade yesterday, and my new credit card gives me $200 at the end of the month (if I spend too much), plus 5% cash back on amazon purchases. I couldn't pass it up. I hope its better than my Galaxy S2.

"You hope" ?!
I went from an s2 to the note 3 and its like going from a SS camaro to a Zr1 vette. The camaro is fast but the zr1 is a whole new ball of wax.
Just super bad ass.

I was mostly kidding, I'm sure I will love it. It's been a long time since I've had one of the latest and greatest phones. I do love my S2 though. It's the best phone I ever had and could go all day and then some on the extended battery. Should show up on my doorstep tomorrow!
So I had seen this Cyber-Monday deal earlier in the day, but in the cart when I would add the phone for a new line of service with an existing account, I would get $169.99. So after calling the wife, and her hemming and hawing over if I should pay cash or put it on AMEX (to cover the phone), she finally agreed to let me buy it with the AMEX. I went back into the cart and added the phone again, with the same option (existing account new line of service) but the price went from 169.99 to 199.99. I contacted Amazon, they could confirm it that it was indeed at the $169.99 price on their side (with the same options) but for some reason the cart was messing up. They had me buy it at 199.99 and immediately changed the price to $169.99. That plus I had a single $25 statement credit on a $75 purchase w/AMEX for anything at Amazon during December, made it a sweet purchase at $144.99.
I got the phone on Wednesday, and I'm very glad I made the move back to Sprint. We originally had a Sero account (for my wife) that got upgraded for smartphones. Since I bought my line back to Sprint, we went with the unlimited family plan and with my organizational discount, it made the second line the same cost as the Sero plan. I'm very happy indeed.

I just switched from the evo lte to the note 3 and I can't even begin to express my satisfaction with the switch. Except for trying to get used to the power button, volume rockers, home and back buttons being on the opposite sides - I am so in love with this thing.
