I've had good luck too, but you have to be very educated on how to shop at 
Fry's.

1) NEVER buy anything that even looks like it was opened or not in it's 
original shrink-wrapped state.
2) NEVER buy anything that has a return sticker on it.
3) NEVER buy their cheapy generic anything that they have on sale.

As another PLUGer pointed out, you have walk around the store to get what 
you want sometimes.
