Sales tactics and sales person
*SOLVED

I went in to buy a computer graphics card. The woman would not let me buy a card without making a list of other components for a computer build, which I HAD to buy from MicroCenter. I already bought my other components elsewhere after shopping around for the best prices. Those prices were all better than MicroCenter. The computer graphics card at MicroCenter is priced well above MSRP (overpriced buy a few hundred dollars). So not only are they price gouging on the graphics cards, they are forcing you to buy other products from them, or they won't sell a graphics card to you. I believe this to be an illegal business practice. The salesperson was also rude and indifferent. I'm a long time customer of MicroCenter, but I will now avoid them for NewEgg and other computer stores. I wasted my time going there today, was treated poorly, and was not allowed to buy a product they had in stock, unless I bought other components under them. They were forcing me to make those purchases just to get the one item I need for my build. I'll take my money elsewhere.
