Further evidence that bricks - and - trench mortar computer memory are out of touch sensation : our esteemed sidekick at The Consumerist receive a note from reader Rick , showing a letter he wrote to CompUSA after the company resist to budge on a $ 100 monetary value for a Linksys electronic internet storage drive he found on the Internets for $ 84 . CompUSA ’s salesperson say the society will only gibe the price of competitors doing occupation nearby . Says Rick :
“ I ’m confused . Did I clock garble back to 1998 ? Does CompUSA not realize that they compete DIRECTLY with on - line of business retailers ? I put the intersection back on the shelf . I did not purchase any of the other accessories I was prepared to purchase from you . NewEgg pay off all of my business . ”
This is not surprising to us — we saw HDMI cable at Best Buy sell for upwards of $ 80 which were available on net for $ 15 . How can these company survive ? It ’s screwball . It ’s the “ get it now ” mentality .
