Q: QuestionBest Buy deleted my question, so I'll repeat it for everyone. Why is Best Buy now charging customers over $1,200 for 4TB, and over $2,200 for 8TB? This is directly from Best Buy at 3-4 times the going rate, and not 3rd party seller crap.

Asked 2 months ago by Damian.

• A:Answer I paid 1499. And I seen your other question so it looks like they did not delete it and I answered that question too I don't know where you're getting a $2,200 price tag because I just bought eight terabytes from them for 1499

Q: QuestionWhat is wrong with Best Buy? Why are they charging over $1,200 for the 4TB, and over $2,200 for the 8TB. This is directly from Best Buy, and not some bogus third party seller that they're doing now. Absolutely disgusting business practices in my opinion.
