Ensuring that customers get the highest value out of your products keeps them happy and coming back for more. This of course is assuming that you aren’t asking for another large sum of cash for this value maximizing. Well Best Buy is doing just that. They are charging their customers a whopping $300 to perform “calibration techniques” on purchased HDTVs to ensure that customers who purchased HDTVs get the best picture quality. There is some validity in this service as it is important to calibrate your TV’s picture quality, but $300 dollars is a pretty steep price.
