Darn I live 20 miles from Best Buy In Springfield Ohio.

I have delt with them many times and found them to be very helpful and at a good price.

They sure had a lot of inventory big rigs,

In this day of hard times I'm afraid they are not the last.

Now we have all lost, once gone it would take a strong person to start a new bussiness.

Best Buy serviced our Dometic frig ,two weeks ago in Springfield.We bought a Heartland FW last year from another dealer 40 miles away.Best Buy sold Heartland but would not deal with us ,so they lost a sale.When I was there for the frig service ,I saw the same Heartland fiver setting there.
