Ich kann dir aus erster Hand auch verraten warum die meisten Verkäufer nicht genau wissen was sie verkaufen. Ich hab viel Ahnung von Pcs, da ich das im Vorstellungsgespräch erwähnt habe und am ende durfte ich erst Waschmaschinen und dann Küchen Geräte verkaufen. Weil ich mich zu gut mit Pcs auskennen würde und laut denen wollen Kunden kein Fachgesimpel und eher Infos auf ähnlichem Niveau von den Kunden da man sich halt in den Bereichen dann schlau machen muss. Meistens lohnt es sich einfach mal in der Fernsehabteilung Leute nach Pcs zu fragen :D

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but pc building is dying hard with the massive price increases. The only reason sales are up is because of corporate purchases. Actual consumers have become a very small % of sales and many people don't even have a desktop computer at home anymore. We had all kinds of people young and old building 10 years ago. Now many working adults can't afford a build at today's costs.

MicroCenter seems to be taking over the market that Frys used to rule then abandoned but being far more smart about the product selection. Frys used to be great until they started buying shiploads of the cheapest most random Chinese junk to clutter up their stores with and none of the display cases ever worked. This tour shows that MicroCenter seems to be sticking to the computing theme and not straying very far from it which means they could have lasting power I believe. I am shocked at the pace of new store openings given just how long they went with only a handful of stores and no aspirations of opening very many more, if any, it seemed.

@KenS1267 Ай бұрын

Microcenter does have some of the random cheap Chinese "tech related" stuff but it is mostly kept to the checkout lines. Last time I was in the Chicago store they had several obviously pretty bad imitation iFixIt kits, tiny vacuums for cleaning inside tech gear and bunches of even less memorable stuff. But I wouldn't even have noticed if the line hadn't been about 5 minutes long.

@originalscreenname44 Ай бұрын

I think it's smart on Micro Center's part to grow at an sustainable rate. Sure it leaves a lot of people out, but at least it prevents what typically happens where they overestimate their reach, open a bunch of stores, lose money, do a bunch of things customers don't like to recoup costs like promoting loyalty cards and financing in every transaction, and then eventually closing stores thus taking away a good computer resource from the community.

A store like this is a dream. I wish we would have a Micro Center in Berlin, Germany. At least we have some basic PC stores where you typically go to let your PCs get repaired or built. But in terms of buying hardware, they are so small that you normally don't grab and buy stuff. They order it for you as you would do it from home and it's landing in their store, so you have to come back. In best case, I would like to buy my PC hardware in the store including a good consulting, take it home and then puzzling it together. This way I don't have to wait days for like 10 deliveries (which, besides the waiting time, produces packaging trash and extra drives by logistics companies).

I'm in a rural area with our small city being 30 minutes away, I think a Micro Center would do good around here since there's a lot of people into computers.

I'm an old greybeard PC gamer, and built my first PC around 1998 or so, and never looked back. But between work and other "life stuff," I've had no time or energy to build a new machine in the last few years. And I had a medical situation to boot, which made actually venturing out to someplace like Micro Center a really taxing proposition (not impossible, but very taxing). But I still keep up with developments in the PC hardware space (with your channel playing no small part!). I was able to pick all of my own components on the MIcro Center website, just as I would if I were building the machine, and have my local Micro Center here in Indianapolis assemble it for me. From start to finish it was less than a full day (ordered it in the morning, picked it up in the early evening), and they did a bang-up job. Fit and finish was pretty much flawless, everything was configured properly, no issues. I had to enable EXPO to get my memory running up where it should be, but that's about it. I'm hopeful that by the time this beast (7950X3D & 79000 XTX) needs to be upgraded or replaced, things will have settled down for me and I'll be able to do it myself. But if not, I'm really glad that Micro Center is there. And even if I don't need them to build it for me, I'll most definitely be buying my components there.

Agreed! Microcenter should come in and take over the buildings where Fry's once stood!

After Fry's Electronics close their doors Arizona has nothing but a Best Buy ,which is very limited . We need a Micro Center in Phoenix ,Mesa , Tempe Arizona .

@azmotorhead3614 Ай бұрын

Yes to this. And those Fry's buildings are still unused AFAIK, so Microcenter wouldn't even need to break ground on a new plot or anything, the brick and mortar is already established!

@@WadeRavenWatts Yes because in US (mainly) they have respect and are brought up with values (along with a strong patriotism) and anyone who goes against that is dealt with swiftly with no fucking around by police. In UK we have a out of control social disease (aka broken britain) and police don't have the resources to deal with it all. But when they do, the justice system is so soft they'll be back again no problem. So any company wouldn't never trust such a set up here as it would be ruined and costly in the end.

Everyone should be supporting Micro Center. I’m old enough to remember the day where you had multiple Computer City, CompUSA, Circuit City, Radio Shack, and Micro Center in major cities. Then there was Fry’s. Today only Micro Center remains and Best Buy which seems to be carrying fewer components every year. This is the last major brick and mortar retailer for computer hardware enthusiasts.

@@88racing1 at least you have something. Seattle has nothing, but Amazon is a massive barrier for a Seattle area location. I have noticed a fear of Amazon in the Seattle area. The two Best Buy locations in Spokane are better stocked with hardware than any location in Seattle. Also, I noticed Amazon was trying to outprice Fry's when they were still around. Amazon isn't 100% reliable, either. If I need a part quickly, they're maybe 85% reliable at best. They've fallen short way too many times with the same-day delivery getting delayed, or the driver botching up where to deliver the item.
