Best Buy was the exclusive retailer of GUNS N' ROSES' "Chinese Democracy" when it came out in November of 2008 . . . and that privilege did NOT come cheap. Best Buy bought 1.6 million copies of the album for around $14 million. But, the album bombed . . . and according to Nielsen Soundscan, it's only sold 614,000 copies in the U.S. so far. It's unclear if Best Buy's massive, bulk purchase was a condition of the exclusivity deal . . . or if they just decided to stock up because they thought it would sell. But either way, they still have a lot of discs to unload. And that's exactly what they're trying to do. Right now . . . (--or at least as of late last night) . . . you could buy a "Chinese Democracy" album off BestBuy.com for $1.99. The original price is listed as $13.99, so that's almost 90% off.
