I did consider buying it, just so I could open it, and then return it in case it wasn't what I was looking for.

I'm almost 90% sure I'll like it, but I want to check out it's size, build quality, etc. Guess I'll try again this weekend.

Probably because they hadn’t gotten their demo model in yet for some reason and the salesperson isn’t authorized to just go unboxing a $250-300 item from inventory to be sold because if you don’t buy it, now they have an open box item to try to sell instead of factory sealed.

Are you an idiot? They can’t just take it out of the box. They get phones from the vendor for that purpose but the display model obviously isn’t at the store. You sound like a huge a-hole

It makes sense. It's just frustrating to want to see the item before buying, they have dozens, but no display model.

What happens if I buy, open in store to check it out, then decide I don't like it and return it right there? Still an open box right?

Thats not how it works with computers/phones/electronics. Manufacturer provides a demo model to the retailer. Retailer doesn’t bust open the inventory that they paid for.

Otherwise their website shouldn’t say they have them in stock.
But they did have them in stock. Best Buy’s website only goes off what shows in their computer network’s inventory of each store. Now just bc the computer says they have inventory doesn’t mean said inventory is actually on the shelf as opposed to being in their back storage area.

$35 restocking fee. So now if they sell it at a discount for being an open box item, they made up for it with restocking fee.

You need to see it before you buy it.

We have to vote on it before we can tell you what's in it didn't work out so good.

I wouldn't buy a banana if they would not let me look at it.

They can open one if they want to make money. Yes, they get a demo, but that depends on the store. Not all stores get the same demos.

Yeah I’m sure some retail employee making $11 an hour is gonna go bust out a $600 phone from the packaging for you to play with for a sale I doubt they get commission on.

Also... Nokia is still a thing? Can you still play snake on them?

You wanted to put your greasy arse hands and face all over a phone that someone else may end up buying? Do you ask to take a shite on a toilet before you buy it?
