Title: Circuit City, R.I.P.
Post by: kinjo on January 16, 2009, 04:26:46 PM
I made a topic a few months ago about circut city about there bankruptcy, and now they are closing everything.
http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/patterson/33343
The troubled 60-year-old electronics chain tried its best to survive bankruptcy, but to no avail; now, it will liquidate its merchandise and close all 567 remaining stores.
I'm going to be going there and getting stuff cheap as #@!^!

This means I'm buying all my electronics on Amazon or at Target. Best Buy is going to jack their prices sky high now that they don't have direct competition (I won't include Office Max cause honestly, their electronic dept. is pretty scarce).

Wow.
I can't wait until stores like Walmart and Best Buy are forced to split into multiple companies because they're become a monopoly.

Lol it was a joke, i had a 10$ gift card to use up, we couldnt find nothing and their liquidation sale is fairly minimul only 10-30% off and they intend to be open untill things are gone but they are not going to budge and give better discounts. so yeah 2 months from now looks like itll be gone, [psyduck]

Oh. Well screw you, then. Stupid Circuit City. Best Buy > You.
And yeah, my Suncoast store closed in the mall nearest to me. :(
I was so sad. I didn't even hear about it closing. I only saw the place all fenced off and construction-y. :<

I like future shop. the also have game demos most of the time like gamestop. problem is gamestop is so small so you bump into people when playing the games.

prices went down a bit more when i went over the weekend, 30% off games and movies
but still not a whole lot compared to 75% off at suncoast when they closed
i did see a few DS games i wanted at circut city, i wonder what they are going to do to all those buildings they owned

Title: Re: Circuit City, R.I.P.
Post by: black death on February 13, 2009, 04:04:42 PM
80%? nice dude.
Title: Re: Circuit City, R.I.P.
Post by: OMUTSU on February 13, 2009, 09:18:52 PM
Lies! the convention was full of scammers and con-artists. the cheap crap they were selling looked like 10 year old shit they pulled out of their closet, and they lie about the original prices. They didn't even bother wiping the dust off of the "new" junk they were selling. I also had to pay an entrance fee just to see the stuff they were selling. I'm pissed
Title: Re: Circuit City, R.I.P.
Post by: tkoold on February 13, 2009, 09:59:59 PM
lol always wondered about those, somehow im not suprised, 80% off can sound good but Like say its 80% off a 250$ 19" Tube Tv so it still costs 45-50$ well thats no deal at all because its a 15 year old tv Lol
