Why does best buy suck?

>Go to website to check video cards in stock

>90% of them say "online only"

>call store

>"we can not provide inventory over the phone"

Fuck you best buy. I wanted to buy an expensive graphics card to get free games and then return it an hour later.

You know that you can return online purchased items in any best buy store.

That's effectively stealing but I'm sure you know that.

Which card do you want? I'll go pick it up from microcenter and stick a 15-20% margin on top for my time.

Stay classy you poor retard. Do you not know what Usenet or torrents and vpns are? Jesus Christ. You don't belong here. Or maybe you do....

I never had this issue. I think you're just a retard.

Man it's awesome to live in a country where the ISP does not give shit what you do.
Specially if the government also does not care about piracy.
>>
>>54948917
enjoy getting blacklisted from all best buy locations for returns, and have your info spread to related businesses in the industry.

if you do it repeatedly, you get flagged in the system. they have a lesson on how to deal with flagged customers attempting returns in their internal training system.

Makes no sense
>>
>>54950159
But muh lack of care for downloading movies
>>
>>54950267
they inspect the items to see if you're abusing any form of promo, and if so you get flagged. eventually you can't do returns without a huge ordeal. not really worth it, just scam amazon.
your info stays in the system (name address whatever you gave them) and gets shared to other stores.
>>
>>54950329

pay with cash
>>
>>54949634
I worked at bb, they can tell u whats in stock
>>
>>54950329
I'm not scamming. Just returning stuff I don't need.

I only tried that once at frys and it's amazing at how quick they can look up that in the system, but need a receipt for cash returns.
>>
>>54950364
Most stores ask for ID for any return. No matter what.

Walmart doesn't if you have a receipt. Just do it there. Why the hell would you subject yourself to being put in a database because of a "faulty" product?
>>
>>54948917
>>>/v/
/g/ does not shop at best buy.
>>
>>54950458
1. repeated returns of similar products after similar periods of ownership
2. promo items missing/used from box

these items go to resale, so they get inspected thoroughly after return
>>
>>54950508

You severely overestimate these retailers. Most returns aren't even inspected after you leave, they're sold in bulk to resellers by the pallet. They don't have the resources or inclination to bust a weeb who pulls thus scam a few times a year. If you're exceptionally paranoid, hit a different Walmart every other time.
>>
>>54950648
Actually some do.

Well, a compusa near me did. But then they closed very shortly after.
>>
>>54950648
I work for one of those retailers, they punish you if you don't follow the procedure. they use the security cams to follow staff more than customers.
>>
>>54950667

I was specifically referring to Walmart. I have family that works at one in upper management.

>>54950672

They are strict about which returns they accept and have thorough protocols for that, but after you're gone it goes into a reclaim bin and out to a reseller. Amazon is the same way. It's cheaper for them to sell to a reseller than to try and put the stuff back on their shelves.
>>
>>54950775
my retailer does reselling in-house.
>>
>>54948917
>things that never happened

I have called best buy literally dozens of times over the past few years to ask stock of an item and they give it to me almost instantly every time without fail
>>
>>54950842
I actually called them and the guy told me some cards they have.

But the fact remains that they aren't going to list every single card they have over the phone unless they are bored or something
>>
>>54950873

Nobody is going to do that for you.
Not a single place.

Just go to the store.
>>
>>54949796
Hey me too! Internet sucks gigantic dick, though. Frequent drops and 1.3MB/s at best. But hey, free shit

And they blame online retailers for hurting their sales
>>
>>54954397
They hire minimum wage cucks who are replaceable so what do you expect.

I'd rather ask /g/ or reddit about stuff and then buy used or online for cheaper.

Retailers are only good for old people, dumb people or fraudulent returns
