I find them consistently and extraordinarily overpriced, plus I could never buy anything there without having to endure their relentless hard sell on their extended warranty ripoff. Even when I firmly said no repeatedly, they'd have to call their manager over because they were not supposed to take no for an answer.

I finally walked out in the middle of a transaction and have never returned. That was at least 15 years ago.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me. I was all set to buy a very large TV. A fairly pricey item. They salesman tried to sell me cables. I said I had some. He tried to sell me a sound system. I said no. He tried to sell me something else. I said, "Look, here's my credit card, there's the TV. I am buying the TV. Not one other thing. If you try to sell me anything else, I'm walking out."

He said, "Okay. Okay. I get it. Ummmmmmm, would you like to buy a three year warranty with that?"

I haven't been back since.

Yeah, I can mildly agree with your observations from many years ago. But this is 15 years later - drop in and give them a second chance.
Fifteen years ago I bough a 55" Sony HDTV at BB. Price was $1500, but bought the floor model for $1000.
Got it home and it failed within 3 days. Took it back to BB and they exchanged it - for a NEW one - no charge.
