95. My son was looking for a specific mouse for his computer gaming rig saturday

Best Buy carries the mouse but he was on the phone for an hour trying to get in touch with someone at the store nearest us to confirm they actually had the 1 in stock the website claimed. (Been burned by that way too often) He never got ahold of anyone at the store because Best Buy no longer allows customers to call stores. They have to call the support line and the support line will answer questions and they finally figured out the 1 mouse at the store nearest us was a display model. No thanks, not paying full price (150 dollar gaming mouse) for a mouse that's been clicked on and snotted on by every grubby, nose-picking kid that comes through the store.

The next option was delivery next week of a new one or pick up 50 miles away on thursday.

So best buy is out.

He called gamestop and they had them but not in stock near us. They could order for in-store pick-up July 2nd. meh.

Looked on Amazon, it was in stock for prime delivery same day. He had it a couple hours after placing the order.



I used to love going into stores but I don't like it so much any more. Prime is worth it to us.
