That's not being sold by Best Buy, it says "sold by CC Trading Bridge".

Regardless of what it says, that’s Best Buy’s store, Best Buy gets your money, and Best Buy gets your phone call or email if there’s a problem with the purchase. I’d call that “sold by Best Buy.”

That is certainly not the same as "sold by Best Buy". It is sold and shipped by CC Trading Bridge. IANAL, but I would suspect the fact that this is a 3rd party seller that is not even using Best Buy fulfillment centers would provide Best Buy a certain level of protection from legal ramifications. This isn't much different from EBay.
