That doesn't seem to be the case at Circuit City.

This weekend I was able to pick up a Onkyo HT-S790 for $330, the advertised price in the store was $499......it was advertised on the website for $389.......Because it was open box(mint condition, no cosmetic flaws at all) they dropped another $60 off the price.

When I agreed to take the open box model, he went and spoke to his supervisor, I assume to find out if there would be any further discount. I thought they were gonna try to sell it to me for $389, take it or leave it, so while he was talking to his supervisor I was telling my gf that I was gonna see if I could get them down to $330 since it was open box..........he suprised me when he came back and said "and since it's open box, I can let you have it for $330"
