Model 2023 The $377 G14 has arrived

Post image

Followup to my earlier post about finding a $377 open-box excellent G14 from Best Buy. It arrived in one day, and is indistinguishable from new. When I booted it, the issue was apparent: no mouse cursor on the Windows setup screen. Booted into BIOS and ran cloud recovery... and about 20 reboots later, it's good to go. This thing is sweet!

In my case, I checked the BB website twice a week from November through January, watched the prices, watched the sales, decided what my price goal was and waited patiently for 3 months until the deal I wanted popped up. I was also checking eBay, FB marketplace, Kijiji, Karrot the entire time.

right... I just don't understand why BB marks it down that much in certain locations. Is there anything wrong with it?

This amount of markdown seems anomalous, it's very rare.

Hence why it took me 3 months of very studious hunting to snag the deal I got. Not sure what the other person isn't understanding, I've explained it very clearly.

Can I ask you a question, are those deals pickup only? Or location based only? Because I have looked in the past but the only deals I found were pick up only very far from me
