Man, I wish I had a crappy Fry's in my area, all I have is Best Buy, and they overprice everything and don't care a good selection. I miss living near Fry's. I miss being able to want X and have it in the same day and also have a place where I can do a swap in the same day without dealing with postage.
I've been trying to limit how much I buy on Amazon because I don't want to worry about getting something different than I ordered (among other reasons), or have to worry about getting counterfeit stuff. So I'm basically down to Newegg, and while they're fairly prompt, I don't buy enough to make Premier worth it, so I don't have 2-day shipping, which makes it even less convenient.
I'm really quite sad that these stores seem to be going away.
- PhantomGremlin 7y agoMan, I wish I had a crappy Fry's in my area No, no you don't. I noticed the same thing a few months ago and did a search then. I found this thread which I bookmarked. So this isn't a new phenomenon any more: https://www.thelayoff.com/t/YbiPZw8 https://www.thelayoff.com/t/YbiPZw8 My experience with the store in Wilsonville Oregon matches those comments. QFT here: The Wilsonville, Oregon store hasn't had stock for over 6 months. Even longer for desktops and laptops. Last month I visited and there were whole aisles empty. ENTIRE AISLES. This is no "remodel" or "change in inventory system". They're on their last legs. Very sad. End of an era.

- labster 7y agoOMG, I'm glad I mentioned Fry's. Maybe I'll stop by my local store one last time before it goes to the Great Mall in the Sky. From the comments listed there, it looks like my local store is already running out of things to sell.
