Something like 5,000 people a day shop at B&H. How would you fit them in a "tiny" store.

Sandman
I'm sure the camera section of B&H actually is significantly larger than colonial, when comparing area, but smaller when it comes to actual photorelated merchandise.

Savageduck
You can't possibly be serious, unless you were in Bob & Harry's photo store. You don't sound as if you actually visited B&H Photo Video.

Sandman
Huh? Are you saying that the Best Buy at 1620 W Osceola Pkwy has a much larger camera section than I am claiming it does? Why on earth would I lie about that? IN fact, have I ever lied at any point? (Hint: no).

Savageduck
You understand that up until this morning you have been talking about B&H, not Best Buy? Read your original statement and all your subsequent remarks until this AM.

On 16 Apr 2014, in message <slrnlkt1r0.743.mr@irc.sandman.net>you stated: "Colonial was slightly bugger than B&H, but B&H was also very tiny."

It might have a "B" in its name, but Best Buy is no B&H.

Sandman
The camera section in this Best Buy was small, they had very few SLR bodies around, and a very small selection of P&S cameras as well.

Savageduck
So, who ever claimed that Best Buy was a comprehensive camera store?

I got a pretty good deal when I bought a TV at our local Best Buy, but it is one of the last places I would think of going for any photo related stuff.

UPS ground from NYC is overnight for me most nights--B&H is just as convenient as Best Buy.
