Message:: [QUOTE="TyCobb, post: 3273077, member: 99137"]I have two Fry's (what the hell would the plural of that be?) near me, the farthest being 30 minutes away. I have not been at Fry's in over 2+ years. It's not like it used to be when the Friday ads would come out and you would see a sweet deal on an 80GB HDD for $80 or a CPU & mobo combo. Maybe it's because I am just older now, but with Amazon and it's Prime sub, it's so hard to justify going to a store that:<ul> <li>won't beat the price</li> <li>sales people either will never leave you alone at the aisle they manage </li> <li>or are completely MIA when you do need them</li> <li>get really mad when you refuse to show them your receipt at the door when they just watched you come from the register. </li> </ul>I only ever think of them if I must have something that day that I can't get anywhere else. The store to me just feels like 5% normal computer components, 5% extremely overpriced electronics (PCB style), and a crap ton of cheap novelty toys. Once again, I'd much rather just order from Amazon or AliExpress. Early 2000's, it was great. Now? Eh, not worth the gas to get there unless needing something urgent. Used to even order stuff from outpost.com if anyone remembers that site.[/QUOTE]
