Best Buy: We Over-price iPhone 3G Accessories Because We Can

Apple has recently begun selling the iPhone 3G at Buy Buy locations across the country. Unfortunately, the big box retailer is severely over-pricing certain accessories.

Who does Best Buy think they are? As the first U.S. independent retailer authorized to sell the iPhone 3G (outside of Apple and AT&T stores) you think they would keep their prices in check. But nooooo…… According to iPhoneSavior.com, a slue of iPhone docks were spotted on the racks at Best Buy (and at BestBuy.com) for a whopping $49.99!….in what appears to be an oversight on the part of the big box retailer. Most current mac users, and savvy shoppers alike, know that if purchased through Apple.com, or at the forever welcoming brick and mortar store, the 3G docks sell for a mere $29.99, $20 less than competing Best Buy.

A quick stop by both Apple.com and BestBuy.com confirms the price difference.

On the plus side, the Apple Universal Dock with TV connection, wireless remote capabilities, and the option to dock 14 different Apple iPod devices sells for $49.99 at all locations and is a MUCH better value for your money. So what is the deal Best Buy? Time to reconsider your pricing methods.
