Best Buy sells seriously overpriced electronics. They depend on people who don't know how to put their own desktop computers together (it's really not that difficult) and overcharge them by the hundred

Who has been in a Best Buy since 1997?

I'm surprised they lasted this long.

ROFL!

Best Buy: Over 1,000 stores in 4 countries + Puerto Rico.
Fry's: 33 stores in 1 country, and only has stores in 9/50 states.

Not sure if your post was sarcasm or not, but it sure was funny.

This is probably why some companies (Sony, Apple, Windows) open their own retail storefronts so their customer get the right answers about their products.

So you saw no "value" in the Best Buy employee's time? I bet you are not a good tipper when you go out for dinner either.

Me. A couple of months ago.

They had a piece of audio equipment that no one else carried. And it was on sale. We got it cheaper in the store then we could on-line and didn't have to wait for it.

Woo-hoo.

I make at least 6-7 purchases at BB annually.

It's so pathetic when you people have to turn every single thread on this board into an Obama bash fest. Get over it already.
