@freemo it's not just less satisfying, it's also less helpful when you need advice.

@DA70D6 Very true, there is a lot of value in having a space with real experts who will go out of their way to help. There is a **lot** of subtlety to electronics and a lot of little things you can learn from having the right people to buy from.
@freemo For sure. I have a local independant audio shop that's been running for two generations. Can't make a single purchase without running it by them anymore.
@troonigger @freemo Bought it a year later when I had the money. Best pair of headphones I've ever owned.

But I did listen to him, also as far as I know no one there is hired "as a salesman", they're all salaried and get no comissions and work on the shop as much as they work with clients. That's kind of why it's such a good place. They also try and approve everything in their shop personally.

I really hate commissioned sales employees.. its the reason i avoid Best Buy with a passion.

As someone who works for commission I will tell you that I will sell, but I will try and get as much out of you for that product as possible.

Lmao how dare I have faith in locals instead of trusting jeff bezos' price without shipping included. Not allowed to support local business. They sell shit therefore they're more evil than other businesses who sell shit but leave you to shoot yourself in the foot buying shit you don't want.
I price checked. It was a good deal. Never thought I'd have to go out of my way to specify "oh yeah btw im smart enough to breathe"

@DA70D6 Jeff Bezos is rich, why would he care about cheating you out of a $150 when he has 150 quadtrillion dollars already.. ppssshhh your just jelly!
@DA70D6 If that man is single there is no justice in this world :)
Man you don't even know, they remember my face and my habits and everything. I knew I had struck gold when one of their guys said "Hey man don't break your bank if you can't afford to" when I expressed that I really wanted a thing I couldn't afford.
A salesman told me not to buy something.
