Looks like a deal. The guys at Best Buy did not like price matching this but they did.

(edit)

Because of new information since finding the original listing I have updated the title to say "(3rd party)" as this is a third party seller. More information below in following posts regarding this item.
There was no way I would have known this wasn't a 3rd party seller many hours ago as their listing at the time was not correctly informing of the 3rd party seller.

That won't come with a warranty due to the seller, just a heads up.

Just so people are aware, the $209 price is from a 3rd party seller.

The one sold by Amazon is this one, for $220 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0815XFSGK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Oh that's weird. Just hours ago it said sold by and shipped by Amazon. I managed to get a screenshot from my phone of the cached page (when I found it online in store) then I refreshed the page just now and took another screenshot.
On the left is exactly what was showing on my phone and on Best Buy employee's phones just hours ago approx. 9pm Eastern Standard Time (12/26). On the right is a new screenshot of the page refreshed on my phone approx. 2am Eastern Standard Time (12/27).

Best Buy defiantly will not price match now the page doesn't say sold and shipped by Amazon. When talking with Best Buy employees today they have a system in their back end management where they lookup the part by SKU with Amazon for price matching specifically to deal with fraud regarding 3party sellers as I was told. In other words they don't strictly go by whatever shows up in the browser. I bet this seller might have gotten slapped by Amazon to fix their listing. Best Buy employees told me they were having trouble issuing me the price match because it was way below "market value".

Looking back the Best Buy employee's comment about "below market value" is funny considering MicroCenter was selling it for $199.99 and they (Best Buy) basically told me to pound sand on that price match because there was no MicroCenter in my area.

It's the holiday season and scammers profit. Their main weapon is the unrealistically low prices.
I would not submit the data from a card in an insecure source.

The kicker is the price wasn't unrealistic. MicroCenter, a reputable seller as far as I am aware, was even a bit lower in price but otherwise I get what you mean.

Are you referring to credit card purchase?

Really you got a price match on something from a third party seller? Thats pretty awesome, considering there's a possibility it was just a scam.... you gotta be careful on amazon these days.

At the time it was not listed as a 3rd party seller and even Best Buy's back end system with Amazon was saying it was legit so they continued to fulfill the price match.

Eh, I wouldn't put it past Amazon to start a bunch of small companies they can use to pass off returned stock as new. Amazon have becoming increasingly scummy over the years and this holiday season was the worst. So many scams Amazon let on their platform and of course Amazon themselves pulling plenty of bait and switch pricing as well.
