Q: Questionwhen does the sale on this item end?
Asked by rick.
- A:Answer Much merchandise at Best Buy is sold at big discounted prices for several months or even years but the amount of the discount can vary moderately on a weekly basis and more substantially on a monthly basis. The bottom line is if you find something that you want to buy at a price that you like either buy it or take your chances that the discounted price will not increase to a point beyond what you are willing to pay.
