Between Amazon and chinese crap apps like Temu there is no need for others. And it is not a sign of economic doom. The people are spending more wisely. All the crap comes from Asia anyway so why pay a markup so some sociology major can check me out at Best Buy?

FYI - Best Buy will price match most major online retailers, including Amazon. Just pull the item up on your phone at the register and show the cashier. I still prefer buying in store whenever possible to avoid headaches when there’s a shipping issue or if I need to return something.

But yeah, beyond online cutting into their sales numbers, TV’s and computers have gotten cheap so their ain’t as much markup as there used to be. Streaming has eliminated the market for selling Blu Ray players/discs. And video games have been trending towards more digital downloads instead of buying physical copies. All of which cut into Best Buy’s business.
