I see the confusion in the price match and why they would or would not match or whatever be the case. Here's the bottom line. In fact the manager is right, Best buy sells laptops at or below cost to drive competition and it is in fact at his discretion at what price to sell the laptop at after it is no longer sold. If he believes he can sell it regular priced then he may do so, however it is not illegal or wrong for that pricing to be different. The best option is to simply go to one of the other best buys that have the lower price, have them ship it from store to store and buy it there. It's not a scam or a rip off just simply the stores you visited may have wanted to clear stock of that item or they had a small amount of laptops. As for the employee, you meet the best and worst people who know either a lot and are passionate or the employee you met.
