well from what I hear the best way to get something like this done is to get the best price you can…Then throw in that you want to purchase an extended warranty.
See those things are all profit for BB and look amazing for the salesman since he sold a high ticket warranty, and got extra $$$ towards his commission. Then as you make your way to the counter with your ticket written up for an awesome price (including the warranty) Just tell the cashier you no longer want the warranty…or you can come back the next day and “return” the warranty.
Either way you get some cheddar knocked off the price once you take the warranty off.

Put TV in cart, throw coat over, walk out store.
May involve running and highly trained attack dogs, but could be a free TV?

no you can not haggle at best buy. best buy matches competitor pricing. best buy does not offer another 10% off on top of that. they might cut you a deal on the installation of the television, but you can’t just walk into best buy and expect 10% off because you think you are spending a lot of money.

costco has excellent deals on plasma and LCD tv’s.
The price they quote on the web includes shipping to your house.
They are very cheap, i’m going to buy from them.
Bestbuy is such a ripoff it isn’t even funny.

This wall screams for a plasma. I already have a 32" LCD and a 47" rear projection, but they dont fit on that wall so I need a new one.

Same deal they dont haggle or fanaggle for deals,
Smooth talkin a deal really wont work since in the end we have to be held accountable for what transpires, worst case scenario , you converse with said employee, then become irate at some point and ask for the manager, manager will come over an you tell him that , person X said i can sell you this for $'YYYY, threatin to take your busniess elsewhere and most of the time on large ticket items they wont let you walk over a 10% deal as they want the money to be instore and most mark up is about 15%-30% usually, the key is to just attempt to make it seem like you are putting words in their mouth. (Past expirence of mine as well) . Dont expect to get the best reception after that thou if you have problems, so odds are if you want to do that dont do it at a place youd like to shop at and still get service if there is a problem
