It’s been awhile since I looked into building a PC, so I’m not sure what some of the better stores may be, or which may have swapped hands/changed approaches and aren’t as reliable as they once were.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice!

The company had moved to a model where the vendors owned the stock, for the most part. That’s why they had no going out of business sale and it’s also why they never had a damned thing in stock, since very few vendors seemed to be interested in doing business (with Fry’s) that way.
This is just speculation, but the last 5-10 years of Fry’s lifespan felt kinda like some kind of money laundering scheme. There’s no way in hell they were making any money on retail sales, so something else was keeping the zombie alive.
That makes sense, i definitely got a “mattress store under new management” vibe, so you’re probably on to something…
