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.

Open box stuff is nice. I also like buying bigger items like TVs or appliances from them since it's easier to return if I don't like it.

Also it's nice to demo stuff before buying if I'm not sure about the size, weight, screen etc.

And as some users have mentioned, Amazon has become kind of a lottery for actually getting new items
