Why Selectido for Best Buy
Best Buy carries categories that are notoriously price-inflated in many countries: gaming consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X), GPUs (RTX series), smartphone accessories, US-spec cameras and audio gear. Many of these models have region differences — a US-spec PS5 plays US-region disc content and may have features not in your local model.
Best Buy.com generally doesn't ship most of these internationally. Selectido is the live-video alternative.

What to expect on a Best Buy session
Best Buy stores are mid-size (30,000–45,000 sq ft) and well-organized by category. Sessions tend to be shorter (45 minutes is typical) because most customers come with a specific item in mind rather than browsing widely.
The specialist can ask Best Buy's blue-shirt floor staff for product demos and price-match other US retailers if applicable. Best Buy's price-match guarantee covers most major competitors (Amazon, Target) and the specialist will activate it where relevant.
