IMHO J&R is "cheap enough" -- that is, for the level of competence you
get, and the stock, selection, and service, J&R gets my $$$ more than
any other similar store in NYC.  Usually, if they aren't the price
leader, you're losing in some other way.  Recently a friend of mine and
I were looking at cellular phones.  J&R had a good price on one he was
looking at and included NYNEX activation.  The WIZ had some "three day
sale" where it was about $80 cheaper in the ad (the J&R price was an
unadvertised, everyday price).  But, you had to get activation with
Cellular One (no choice) and it was $55 ...

Also, the guy at the WIZ (and his boss) were idiots.  One guy couldn't
answer the question "how much talk time does this phone have?" and his
boss said "9 hours" ... :-) (should be more like 45 minutes or an
hour).  It was hard to get someone to talk to, and they wouldn't show
us the box, let alone the inside papers (instructions, warrantee,
etc.).

We went other places, but these two were the big competition.

So J&R was more "expensive" but (again, IMHO) well worth it.
