I call SHENANIGANS!!! Best Buy "secret" employee website.

Seems like the big box store, Best Buy, isn't practicing on the 'up and up'. They've got an "internal" website which has different price quotes than the "real" Best Buy website. It goes like this (via Consumerist):

Have you ever found a deal at Best Buy's website only to travel to the store and find that the "sale" is over? Did the Best Buy employee show you "proof" on their "website"? It now seems that there are really TWO websites, and they're identical except for the prices. Here's the deal:

• You walk into a Best Buy to purchase a sale item you saw on their site.

• The employee tells you that the item is no longer on sale, and shows you what looks to be Best Buy's website, but it's really a secret intranet that Best Buy's corporate office denies exists. The price on the website shows that the sale is over.

• You cry and leave, then at home you see that the sale isn't over at all. What happened?

Moral of the story? Bring a printout of BestBuy.com and also ask for the secret intranet price to be quoted to you. Sometimes it's more, but sometimes it's less.
