It's the truth, just hard for me to swallow. I wish there was a way for these electronics stores to find a niche somehow. I do order most of my stuff online, but there is something to be said about the joys of browsing the aisles.

I don't even mind if it is a bit more expensive, I get it that they have overheads. But unfortunately it isn't just a little more expensive, but a lot more expensive in most cases!

I hadn't heard of Fry's either until I moved out here to CA. In fact, even at that point I thought that electronics stores of this size had pretty much gone the way of the dodo. At first I thought what you said, they they are just trying to get rid of stock. But the rate at which they are doing it... It seems like it would be unfeasible. It has to cost more to stay open than the minimal sales they are doing!
