Best Buy $9.99 TV – Samsung LN52A650 52″ LCD TV: True or a Serious Mistake?
Was Best Buy 9.99 TV (Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch LCD TV) a real deal or a serious mistake? This sounded too good to be true. On Yahoo Answers, there was a long discussion about the authenticity or genuineness of this Best Buy 9.99 TV. The link to Best Buy 9.99 TV deal was given so we tried to check it out but the Samsung LN52A650 was $9.99 no more. It said the LN52A650 by Samsung was already sold out at a sale price of less than $1700. That was in contrary to what first appeared as Best Buy 9.99 TV.
This confirmed the suspicion that Best Buy 9.99 TV wasn’t a real deal. It could have been a typo error or someone serious hacker tried to tamper their site. Either way, we are not sure if Best Buy honored the deal when people purchased the Samsung LN52A650 52-inch LCD HDTV at a price of $9.99 only. Try to read this Best Buy policy about errors on their website.

The Best Buy 9.99 TV was a serious mistake and Best Buy must have honored the deal that customers have agreed upon or else they will be dealing with a lawsuit. A concerned person quoted this statement:
“The Best Buy Web site is created, operated and controlled by Best Buy in the State of Minnesota, United States of America. The laws of the State of Minnesota will govern the Legal Notices and Conditions of Use without giving effect to any principles or conflicts of laws.”
According to Minnesota Law:
325F.67 FALSE STATEMENT IN ADVERTISEMENT.
“Any person, firm, corporation, or association who, with intent to sell or in anywise dispose of merchandise, securities, service, or anything offered by such person, firm, corporation, or association, directly or indirectly, to the public, for sale or distribution, or with intent to increase the consumption thereof, or to induce the public in any manner to enter into any obligation relating thereto, or to acquire title thereto, or any interest therein, makes, publishes, disseminates, circulates, or places before the public, or causes, directly or indirectly, to be made, published, disseminated, circulated, or placed before the public, in this state, in a newspaper or other publication, or in the form of a book, notice, handbill, poster, bill, label, price tag, circular, pamphlet, program, or letter, or over any radio or television station, or in any other way, an advertisement of any sort regarding merchandise, securities, service, or anything so offered to the public, for use, consumption, purchase, or sale, which advertisement contains any material assertion, representation, or statement of fact which is UNTRUE, DECEPTIVE, or MISLEADING, shall, whether or not pecuniary or other specific damage to any person occurs as a direct result thereof, be guilty of a MISDEMEANOR, and any such act is declared to be a public nuisance and may be enjoined as such.
The duty of a strict observance and enforcement of this law and prosecution for any violation thereof is hereby expressly imposed upon the attorney general, and it shall be the duty of the county attorney of any county wherein a violation of this section shall have occurred, upon complaint being made, to prosecute any person violating any of the provisions of this section.”So, the law explicitly states that “whether or not pecuniary or other specific damage to any person occurs”…”any such act is declared to be a public nuisance”…
The law requires the attorney general to “prosecute any person violating any of the provisions of this section” simply because the false ad was a public nuisance.
However, the law requires this “upon complaint being made”.
