I know what you I mean, worked at best buy myself about 10 years ago
and saw the same thing. However I really miss having a compusa
locally. I enjoy going to best buy to look at monitors and things to
buy. If they don't make money somewhere then they'll close too.

My reply was a bit more confrontational sounding than I meant it to
be, please forgive me. My intent was to say that "because they profit
from it" isn't really a good reason not to buy it. If you have the
time to shop around it's certainly the wise thing to do.
