anyone work at bestbuy?

wonder how much they mark the amps up...cuase im actually thinking about getting a job there, and i know people that can get me in pretty easy, not becuase of the discount though, but it would be nice

 
A quick google search revealed the answer, plus the same answer for circuit city. I also came across this quote while I was looking at the circuit city forum:

"Well actually I have to dissagree with you on two things...Best subs...definetly polk...the loudest definetly kicker...they don't "recoil" as quick...it's a very loose bass...also very loud...while the polks are very accurate and sharp. Also high current wattage is better for sound quality rather than high voltage...because it allows the speaker to move more it'll sound better...but it won't be as loud...but I dunno maybe a louder sound is more important in a car and a higher quality sound is more important in home audio...but it'd be awesome if there was a loud system that sounded good when it was loud."

 
"I got my cousin who worked at BB to get me an alarm for my Jeep. It was the most expensive alarm they had there. They were selling it for $430....he got it for me for $120....HUGE difference. I did have to pay for installation though....still basically 50% off....i'm bummed he didn't make it a career there..oh well"

wonder if the markup is that high on all caraudio:p:

 
WOW, I dont know what to say about that. As for the other question, SOME lines allow for the employees to purchase equipment not usually sold in the store, usually on a program where you order it directly from the manufacture at a discounted rate. Dont ask me which lines, I work at Future Shop so I know those ones but I dont know the exact Best Buy ones off hand.

 
thats what someone else told me. can they get other amps that they dont sell in store or online? like higher models of the brands they sell?
Some you can, some you can't.

I don't work at best buy, but I inquired about the same thing to some BB employees because there was one particular piece of equipment I was wanting to buy and wanted to buy it at employee pricing (at the time I couldn't find a good deal [authorized w/ warranty] on it anywhere else). So I was going to get a job at best buy just long enough to get the employee pricing then quit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif But the item I wanted could not be special ordered, and hence BB employees could not get the discount on that item.

Worked out for me though...I ended up finding a really good deal on it elsewhere //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
