Best Buy misses Q3 expectations, phone and tablet sales still excellent

Well Best Buy is the exclusive retailer of many high-end Tablets in the country, its pretty much the Tablet shop, and it also has great prices, so yeah, most Android Tablet users got their tablets from BB. But falling 29% in one quarter is pretty drastic

And once again, Best Buy Mobile drives the business... Please keep in mind folks, the facts they released do not point to profit, operating costs, or margins, etc... All it says is that sales fell from last year, and the company missed its goal. If you look at the year end sheets, Best Buy still made money hand over fist.

People are starting to see that $100 HDMI cables arent worth it. I used to work at BBY and its no surprise their profit was down. People are starting to wake up to their BS.

Big surprise.

high prices + poor service = losing customers

Both you and Ardent1, said it best. I used to goto (sucker!) Best Buy for everything. But 2 years ago was the last straw. They were always priced hirer than other sellers and the customer service just kept getting worse.

I was just in a Best Buy over the past weekend... maybe it had to do with holiday sales taxing their inventory, but I thought their whole section of phones, tablets, laptops, and computers was just pitiful as far as selection goes.

I was wondering if maybe it was just me being picky until my girlfriend, who's not quite as much of a tech enthusiast as myself, leaned in and said she wasn't impressed with anything she was seeing there and we may as well check online like newegg or tiger direct. I was pretty proud of her in that moment.
