What do you use Best Buy/ Big Box Electromics Store for? (lemmy.ml)

What purposes do you use Best Buy/Big Box electronic stores? Do you try items before you buy them in-person or online? Do you shop in-store for products? Are you a purely online shopper? I make an effort to patronize small companies, but when it comes to electronics, I frequently buy reconditioned computers and other items from the Best Buy outlet since my experiences there have been positive. I used to regularly order from Tiger Direct, but unfortunately, it is no longer open for business.

If you've got a Micro Center near you, that's the way to go. They may not be small but they're definitely not Best Buy and their selection is typically great, barring any industry-wide shortages.

No such luck.

Ahhh, that's a bummer. I used to live in a city with one, now live in a city that sadly lacks one - hopefully they expand into both of our areas soon!
