As you know, PC Richard is a consumer electronics and appliances retailer with locations throughout the NY NJ CT tri-state area. The product selection is not unlike the other big national chain; i.e., Best Buy; however, one is likely to find a number of more upscale product lines at PC Richard, i.e., Viking, Fisher & Paykel, Electrolux, etc. In general, both chains tend to price things at full retail.
The big difference between PC Richard and Best Buy is that the sales staff at PCR tends to be more knowledgeable and more attentive overall. Unfortunately, this also means they are more inclined to be pushy. The other difference, and it is more than a slight annoyance, is the fact that PCR sells many smaller items behind the counter only, which prevents one from inspecting multiple items before making a decision. They also tend not to put price tags on anything, which can make even the most simple transactions tediously complicated.
In conclusion, if you need to buy simple/small/inexpensive things, go to Best Buy. If you are looking for an appliance or a piece of electronic equipment, go to PC Richard.
