Walmart's Project Impact: A Move to Crush Competition

reply to post by compwiz32190

Why buy overpriced electronics from Best Buy when I can buy them at Wal-Mart for less?

Because Best Buy has knowledgeable employees and a Price Match policy!!

I go in and talk to them, go home and shop the internet, print the best deals, go back and negotiate a great price from a quality store!!

I try to only shop at local stores, but for electronics we no longer have any local stores!!

Haha you must be joking. Their "knowledge" for the most part is trying to sell $80 HDMI cables that you can buy for $5 on the Internet, and they will only pricematch local competitors, which isn't too many. Either way, their sales for a while now have been less than stellar. We are going to to see a "make it or break it" situation for many retailers if they don't improve after this holiday season.

Well, the knowledge was in comparison to the WalMart folks, lol!

We are pretty lucky at my local Best Buy, because this is a University town, so we have a lot of tech junkies working part-time there!!

The Only true Future these Kinda stores have is in the Smithsonian,
