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.

    Sure shipping is fast nowadays, but if I take a bit of my own time, I can walk back from a store with the item already in hand, and I’m certain of what is in the box.

    Bonus: I didn’t have to weed through alphabet soup spam brands to find what I wanted.
