Should I buy an open-box TV from Best Buy or a used TV on Marketplace?

Best Buy open-box is usually the smarter buy for most people. Marketplace is only better if the price is much lower and you’re okay taking more risk.

Choose Best Buy open-box if you want:

• More peace of mind
• A better chance of easy returns/exchanges
• Lower risk of hidden problems
• A decent deal without gambling on condition

Choose Marketplace if you want:

• The lowest possible price
• Room to negotiate
• A TV you can inspect and test before paying

Bottom line:
Buy Best Buy open-box unless the Marketplace deal is clearly cheaper and you can fully test the TV in person. Check the current price, return policy, and whether any accessories are missing before buying.
