I have to disagree with the statement that posted prices are up for negotiation. I've worked in retail as a salesclerk off and on for ten years in a variety of chain stores, and salesclerks (and often even managers) have no authority to change corporate pricing. It's fine to ask a manager, but I've had many customers really harass me, trying to get me to change something not in my power. When you're giving a place like Best Buy a hard time, just don't confuse the faceless corporation with the poor minimum wage guy that has to sell this stuff.
