One that has been bought, opened and returned.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.An open box is an item that has been returned because the customer did not like the item for whatever reason after opening the packaging and installing it. Best Buy inspects all returns to ensure that there is no damage and that all of the manuals and included accessories are returned with the item before putting it back up for sale. Because the item was opened, it can no longer be sold as "New". However, it will still carry the same manufacturer's warranty as a new item. The advantages of buying an open box is that you can save a little money over a new, unopened item. For example, I purchased a 49" Samsung LED LCD television a few years ago. After removing it from the box, putting its stand on, and placing it on my television stand, I realized that I wished I had gone with a bigger screen. So, I took the legs back off, repackaged it and returned it to Best Buy and exchanged it for a 65" screen in the same model number. I was much happier! Because I had opened the first purchase, Best Buy could no longer sell it as "New". Someone saved a few dollars by purchasing my return, which was otherwise "New". Hope that helps!
