Best Buy created a high margin stream in repairs and warrantys, while cutting down on low volume goods and basically becoming a showroom for large brands. Companies pay them to display their wares prominently. So if you’re looking for some minor obscure dongle, the stereotype is that if you go Fry’s, you’ll buy the dongle and a bag of candy. If you go to Best Buy you’ll end up buying a TV instead.
