Circuit City: Closed

My parents said they stopped in yesterday, and stuff was only 10-20% off.
Not worth the drive over to it, I might go there in a couple weeks and see if they have anything left at a larger savings.

I did that when Future Shop went out of business 5 or so years ago, went there on the last weekend. Got some altec lansing computer speakers with sub for like $7.

Still have them today, have them hooked to the TV and work great!

Yeah, thats what I've been hearing, 10-20% off...

My sister has a gift card for like 50 bucks, and hopefully were going up to pick up her new (to her) explorer anways, so were going to stop buy and pick up a couple of games or something.

Pretty Interesting video.
I always had a feeling a lot of these were scams

I noticed this @ Linens & Things. We got a set of sheets their tagged for $129.99. Normal selling price was $79.99

We only paid like $36 for them out the door as it was like 2 days before the store shut down for good.

box stores are going to start to fall left and right. so much of their business was based on being able to qualify people for credit that they couldnt afford. but once the company extending the customer credit pays the store then they have their money and now it is up to the credit card company (usually visa) to collect from the stores customer. sounds ok, the credit card company gives your customer credit to purchase things they cant afford to buy with cash, you as the credit provider charge the store qa percentage of the sale as a fee and then you charge the end user interest out the wazoo....but along comes the guvment and puts tighter control on the credit issuers and now your 8 buck an hour wal mart cart pusher job doesnt get you 5k worth of credit at your local box store.....this is actually good for you but now the store is losing sales. since you cant get credit and dont actually have any cash you arent buying. so now what to do with a 100,000 sq ft. store full of electronics goods? cant sell it, the bills due...even the box stores have creditors.....this is the result. i hate to see so many people out of work, i remember when cc came to florence, the store i was working at started to suffer so i went elsewhere and in a year or so they closed the doors. when bb came we lost a total of 3 cincinnati area chains. sight n sound, hemsath sound center and steinbergs.....people have demanded cheap prices and easy credit which has done nothing but drive down wages and close doors to the point that when it happened no one could afford to buy....it sucks, its going to be the 70's all over again
