Okay, here's my proposal: What if one very trusting Lugnetter and one very

Targets have decent discounts, and ask him to go in and get the price match
difference applied to my credit card? Does anybody have reason to believe
this

Granted it's been years since I worked the returns desk at Best Buy, but we
never required the card or a picture I.D. of any kind back then. And if it's a
return, I doubt the signature means anything, nobody would dispute a huge
credit on their account.
