0 comments | Wednesday, August 12, 2009

You read it right. Best Buy has a $9.99 TV. Samsung LN52a650 TV has been offered for just $9.99, that's about $1790 off the regular price.

Don't get too excited yet. The 52″ 1080p HDTV has been erroneously priced. If you buy the item, Best Buy has a policy not to ship the item.
