So, I live in texas and I went into the plano fry's location, and it was completely empty.

My question is, are they liquidating their stock, or are people actually buying stuff from the store?

And yes the store is almost completely empty besides a few gaming chairs and some household products..

It's true: Other youtubers have traveled around and found similar results with interviews with employees.

As far as I know, they haven't filed for bankruptcy yet. They are claiming the lack of products on shelves is due to their looking for new supply chains other than China so they can keep their prices competitve (that is a joke since they have been higher priced than their competitors for several years now; their only advantage was having stock that could quickly be accessed locally, to give customers the opportunity to actually physically see a product before buying, and their generous, easy return policy). I don't know how they can keep hanging on unless they are being used as a tax writeoff for someone.

I think Best Buy will be first because microcenter has direct resources unlike BestBuy buying from wholesalers. 

I may be wrong

Kind of sucks to see brick and mortar PC parts stores slowly decline. In the event of a component failure (like say, a hard drive kicks the bucket, as had happened to me), being back up and running within the day drastically beats being down for several days while waiting on delivery. :/
 

For folk with more critical stuff than I, would probably be good practice pretty soon to keep a spare or two of the most vulnerable components, namely storage drives.

The coronavirus got to fries before anyone else!

 

Fries should start selling toilet paper and hand sanitizer. That'll get people in the door.

This was more likely the reason then the virus.
