Same here. I used to love Best Buy, either I've gotten smarter or they have changed in a bad way. I needed a new keyboard after my old one completely went out. I had found a basic no frills Logitech one online I liked for $20 shipped. I figured if I could find one locally for maybe $25 I would get it locally and save the hassle of waiting. I went to Best Buy and the cheapest keyboard they had was $60 for a no name brand!!! This came after another Best Buy location stopped me like I was a shoplifter because I didn't buy their $40 USB cable when I could get the cable I needed for $5 shipped online. I ended up settling for a Logitech keyboard for $13 from Wally world.
Needless to say I will never set foot in a Best Buy again.
