Went to the computer shop to get a few wekcams for our remote workers. The guy said they had 30 cameras in that morning and had two left. I got those two. Its a computer shop I only use as a last resort because they are useless.
Seems to be the case across the board though, I bought some Microsoft LifeCam Studios because Microsoft had some in stock. But couldn't find much else anywhere else.
- delecti 7y agoIt seems odd to note that you think the only store which had the product you were looking for is useless.
- Markoff 7y agohe clearly meant useless under normal circumstances when you have much more and cheaper options online than in brick and mortar store
- skinnymuch 7y agoWhy is it useless otherwise?
- michaelt 7y agoI can't speak for Paraesthetic, but in more normal circumstances in-person retail regularly has a smaller selection at higher prices, and the quality of help from shop assistants can be variable. It's not the shops' fault, it's the economics of the industry. Economies of scale mean for some products, Amazon's retail price will be lower than the shop's wholesale price. Cashflow and volumes make it hard to stock a broad range of expensive items like CPUs and laptops. Competent help can often do better than retail wages and working conditions.

- Paraesthetic 7y agoPost Post Script: If you need one desperately, try thought Dell, or Microsoft directly. Dell sell logitech and seem to have quite a lot in stock
- ronibx 7y agoI love Microsoft cams and keyboards. They do it better than operating systems.
