        AnonD-546038, 01 Nov 2017Best Buy was tryna make some extra dough hahahaha greedy guysPsssh. they make around 3to4% and on a good day 6% of profit for every dollar they make from selling stuff. that's 3 to 6 cents for every dollar as profit. If the carriers/suppliers give you an incentive for selling mainly their goods or prioritizing it VS selling goods from the carrier and another supplier for the sake of the consumers side but you have to settle with the lack of incentives (Which is usually a large chunk of the profit) from the carrier and only the possible normal sales profit of both carrier and supplier.

                      Logical move if you ask me at a business point.

                        This type of practice should be illegal.

                        You cannot buy the phone outright? What kind of year are we living in? That's crazy to me, I know this is Best Buy and not Apple but Best Buy should be ashamed. I only buy phones off contract so this would never work for me. Luckily I'm Android user, but if they did this for the iPhone what's to say they won't do this for the Galaxy or LG V series of phones?
