With best buy, there is an issue of occasional false advertising (e.g., they advertise: get item x for free if buy whole computer system – but item x never materializes, & they take no responsibility)
I have generally had good service at Circuit City, and products are good. They treat customers fairly. I appreciate that.

Best Buy is ok, but I wouldn’t buy anything that is not on sale there!

I’m so glad you brought this up! A few weeks ago, my friend and I were talking about it cuz all CompUSA or at least most were closed here in WA.

I used to go to CompUSA all the time until Best Buy came along. Like you said, it was always so difficult getting someone to help when we need one at CompUSA. I was there one day about 4 years ago and I had a question, so I stood and waited for like 15 mins with no one around. I had to chase down to get a rep’s attention, all she said, I will be right with you in a second. So I waited and waited.. still nothing! I can’t find her anywhere in the store. Of course, I was pissed and left.

So, when I left, I saw Best Buy right across the street so I went there and next thing I knew someone was there helping me and I got everything I needed! So, I never bothered to go back to CompUSA since then.

I always go to Best Buy like 3-5 times a month and even have Best Buy CC, he he.

All I can say is good bye, CompUSA!
