They price match Amazon which is really no secret, it’s just hard to do since they have more overhead.

My best guess is they hope to make up lost with items Amazon doesn't even list. I know there's some products that are owned by BestBuy, I forgot the company name for it, but some random electronics they sell.

Right, Amazon does not list Best Buy's house brand 25 dollar USB-A cable.

Some of that convenience stuff is so ridiculously over-priced(even compared to Walmart) and so restricted in choice(only option is the Best Buy brand) it must be integral to their business strategy.

Looks like it's not just Insignia but Rocketfish, Platinum, Modal and Dynex as well.
