How is it that they have open box headphones? I thought they don't accept any headphone returns.

The old butterfly keyboard MacBook Pro. Unless you want a machine that’s going to break often leaving you unable to type, avoid this.

Could be items that were used for display in-store. Open box doesn't necessarily mean bought and returned.

All of Best Buy's display units are vendor-supplied.

Didn't we deem that the 2019 Boxing Day deals were crap back in December?

Yes, this was an especially trash year, no good deals to be had after Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

I dont understand why they would piss people off like this. There is absolutely nothing there that you couldn't get at that price all year round

Even if it's vendor-supplied, does that mean they can't sell them though? They sell open-box TV's that were used for display all the time. I don't know about headphones just assumed it would be the same.

I usually don't downvote but when I saw the title it really got my hopes up and then I actually looked what was being offered and was really disappointed. Seems like creative and strategic product selection on BestBuy's behalf ie. "let's take a lot of the stuff that wasn't on sale during boxing week, put it on sale now, and we'll call it the "better than boxing day sale" sale" and the things that are less than boxing day look like stuff that's simply even closer to the end of it's lifecycle than it was during boxing day (with newer models imminent or already out).

Last boxing day they had a 49" curved Samsung TV for $399, and Samsung 70" and LG 75" TV's for $899.99 and $999.99 respectively (see attached image). In this "better than boxing day sale" $399 gets you a 55" TCL 4-Series and the cheapest TV over 70" on sale is $1200.

Thanks OP but no thanks.

I Can't Miss A Deal but can miss all of these.

I normally like posting to save people money but will post to save you time. I spent the time scrolling through all the deals until the end. I do not recommend anyone waste their time doing the same.
