I'm just making this post because I only recently found out about how to do this, and the way to do it is a little unusual and I don't think a lot of people know it's an option to save some money. 

I was hesitant to spend $180 for a mouse, and even though $144 is still a lot of money, to me this price feels worth it for a mouse that I'm likely going to use for the next 5 years. And if I'm not happy I can always just return it, so no harm done. 

Anyways, Best Buy has a deal [here](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/logitech/earth-day/pcmcat1649080616911.c?id=pcmcat1649080616911) where if you bring in any "old, unusable PC accessory or PC gaming accessory" you can get a coupon to save 20% on your next Logitech purchase, either in the store or online. It's listed as an Earth Day offer, but from what I've seen online it seems to be available year-long. *(Note: The coupon I got had an expiration date that was only 2 weeks away, not sure how legitimate this actually is if the offer is year-long but it's something to look out for)*. 

As far as what you can bring in that will qualify for the offer, the requirements seem loose and it might be different depending on what your local Best Buy is like. I called my BB beforehand and asked what would qualify. He said electronics, and that they didn't have the be "gaming" branded or anything like that. The guy on the phone literally told me "as long as it isn't, like, smashed with a hammer, we'll take it", which is great policy if you ask me. 

The item I chose to recycle was a $2 pair of crappy knockoff airpods that I got from aliexpress a while ago, which had horrible audio quality and were basically junk. Most people seem to use old PC mice for this deal since they're easy to find and you can often get them for free, so consider that option if you are unsure of what to recycle. 

So they gave me a coupon for a future online order and I walked out of the store. Mission accomplished? Actually no, I ran into some complications. I attempted to order the mouse from my phone using the coupon but the checkout page told me that it didn't qualify and the code was invalid. Right now there's a month-long backorder for this mouse and availability has been uncertain, so maybe that had something to do with it.

I went back into the Best Buy and told them what I was trying to do and what had happened. The manager and employees were very understanding and helpful, and they went ahead and placed the order through an employee computer, which seemed to do the trick. I then paid for the order and walked out with a receipt, tracking number and email confirmation. 

Anyways, that's it. I wanted to make this post because if I had left Best Buy and tried to order it later once I was home, I might not have put in the effort to make the trip back to try and get the coupon working again. So I wanted people to be informed and know that if you have an experience like mine, you can probably just speak with customer support and they'll help to get it sorted out for you. I'm currently looking forward to getting this mouse in the mail and I'll probably give an update when it does with my thoughts and opinions.
