Interesting Don, While I was not a great customer of Best Buy, I imagined them 
to be a solid operation. Circuit City has clsoed stores in this area. I need a 
new laptop and while there are all kinds of offers from the retailers, I 
question if I should  pay more at a  local house. The problem is that they 
offer an Acer that I want to avoid. I had an Acer scanner, highly recommended, 
and it was too complex to use. I am also reluctant to change from XP to Vista.

It seems that a multitude of items are becoming now commodities. It is probably 
due in part to the internet.

    Wow, you are a big ebay seller  ...1299!  Now sellers can no longer give 
feedback?
     
    Ebay has been down giving all kinds of incentives to buy or list. I 
understand they have laid off a number of people.

  Interesting- I was watching CNBC this morning and some expert listed the 5 
best buys on the market today.  He included the GAP, Best Buy, Kohls, one I 
can't remember, and eBay!

  I think they are all losers and from what I keep hearing about eBay they are 
having trouble in several areas.

  Since moving back to Oklahoma from California, we have found that some local 
energy stocks are doing fine.   I think the retailers, best Buy is a good 
example, are going to have to fold.  Circuit City did I think, and there are 
more to come.

  When I had my computer systems house in San Diego, I quickly learned that 
computers and parts were strictly "commodity items", and we had to make our 
support from vertical product software, installation, and training.  The 
retailers can only offer cost cuts.
