Appears that Best Buy has had a number of the Air Pod Max units returned. That's a great price if they have hardly been used and you have 15 days to return them.

I’d like to know who actually gets this delivered at that price. There has to be issues with those, BB never discounts refurbished Apple products that much. Buyer beware.

Who is returning the APM besides? Don’t think many were getting their initial orders filled from BB in the first place.

I don't know about Best Buy, but Apple's online store has been overwhelmed by all the bots and Apple seems not care about it much. The in-store pickup stock for popular items is always gone in seconds. No human being is able to click that fast and Apple doesn't even impose any CAPTCHA checking.

I was checking their website when the headphones were initially launched. There was no stock whatsoever, so these might be just some silly placeholders.

Yeah, those have been listed on BBs site for a few days at that price. However, BB doesn't seem to have any new APMs to sell, so I'm suspect of the pre-owned pricing. Like others have stated, perhaps just a placeholder until they actually start getting APM returns?

Probably somewhat liquid damaged returns? I wonder.
That’s a huge price cut, something definitely wrong with them if they are going for that little considering how much they retail for.
Once again, these are just placeholders. BB didn’t have any stock when the headphones launched. I doubt there were any real returns.

I got mine from Best Buy on launch day so they absolutely did have them in stock. They delivered the same day Apple shipped them out.

Best Buy in Canada has a no return policy on headphones.I din't buy from them for the reason. Different policy in the US?

It could also include some tasty ear juices from other people based on reports that APM could have a condensation problem :p

Everyone needs to relax. Its an error attached to the regular Airpods due to the Airpods name. Best Buy sells the regular airpods refurbished or returned at that price as it just occurred to me that I've actually bought them before at that price. No one is missing out on anything and you aren't ever going to get the AirPods Max at that price.

Best Buy US allows returns on Headphones. There are certain items for which they will charge a restocking fee though. You can read the US Best Buy return policy here:
