Did Frys go out of business?

[leper84]

I used to be at least a once a month customer. Eventually got sick of every thing being an open box return that was marked down an amazing 5% off retail despite looking like someone backed over it.

This. Bought gpus from Frys that obviously had the heat sink R&R'd, I guess people looking for one that clocks good. No way to prove it but sometimes I've had a funny feelings I had bought stuff that had been returned without the warning or discount applied.

Don't buy from Frys anymore just for that, sick of buying molested, non-working crap.

The one I go to in Sacto area has a bin of returned ones clearly marked as such with somewhat decent discounts applied. The new ones are on the shelves usually in shrinkwrap. Could be the management from store to store being slack. I really don't worry - if I get anything bad or repackaged without disclosure I can always return it. I've never even had to ask for my family member's help (who works there).

The one in Austin is always super crowded, I think they'll be fine.

Their website is useless garbage though. I don't even bother trying to use it.

I was gonna say this.

Pretty much exactly this.
