CompUSA Closing, not a surprise.

CompUSA is closing their doors. Gordon Brothers group is liquidating their assets and CompUSA will ride off into the sunset. This isn't a big surprise. The electronic big box stores are going through the same process the Home Centers went through a few years ago. Only the strong survive is the factor.
Unfortunately those that survive aren't always the best from the eyes of the consumer. Case in point, BestBuy. They are on top now, but not my store of choice for technology. I normally can beat their price elsewhere, The only good thing I see in them is convenience. When you need something in a hurry, they are usually close by. But you pay for that convenience. The online stores that have quick shipping and good customer service are going to come out on top. Where do you shop for technology items?
