I was browsing through Best Buy earlier today checking out their iPod accessories and I noticed something unexpected: their prices appeared to be almost always higher than those of the Apple Store. Most of the time, it was only a matter of a dollar or two, but for some things, like the iPod wall charger, Best Buy was over 25% higher. It was over $40 there, compared to $29 at Apple. I thought they were a discount retailer? I'm so disillusioned. But at least I can feel good knowing that Apple, Inc. isn't ripping people off, at least relative to other companies.
