Bout to go get me some cd's and other shit. Sales should be great.
I knew this was coming when I quit in 2007 after they fired 3400 of the higher paid workers, luckily I was behind the tech bench, so it didn't apply to me.
Actually, the particular liquidation firms that Circuit City has been using has thus far had a tendency to raise prices.
Eventually there will be a golden time when good things are still available and prices are low, but it'll be tough to catch and will vary from location to location.
Circuit City has been dead to me for the past five years. I won't miss it.
i always shopped at best buy lol
exactly. there will probably be no big sales to be had. i might try though just because i have 2 circuit cities each just a few miles from me.Quote:

I went by the one at Mall of Louisiana yesterday. It was a wasted trip, no liquidation had started yet. When I first got down here, I stopped by the store near Cortana Mall, the prices weren't outstanding despite the store closing sale and everything I was looking for was gone. Plenty of Guitar Hero games, though.
Having grown up in Richmond, I admit that I am a bit sad to see this company go. Some of my friends worked the corporate office fresh out of high school, and I remember when Circuit City was THE place to go for anything technology based. That said, I've done very little shopping there in the past ten years, usually only stopping in to find a CD I can't find elsewhere. Just another in a long line of Richmond based companies to die out. Best, Heilig-Meyers, Thalhimers, Miller & Rhoads. At least Carmax is still going strong.
Circuit City was dead in the water when they lost $114 million on Divx.
(AKA they deserved it)
I guess I should have used my $50 gift card.
You can still use it.Quote:

Cock mongers.
I need blank DVDs; I forgot all mine at school -.-
So is there no way to purchase items on circuitcity.com? The closest Circuit City is about forty minutes from here.
I'm pretty certain that you can.Quote:

I doubt it will get that lowQuote:

yeah, uh, I don't think it works like that.
well that sucks major ass.. i had my fingers crossed.
yeah, you would end up having your soul eaten by whoever is buying the debt owned by circuit city. Of course, if the amount was small enough they'd probably just eventually write it off as a loss, but it would still fuck with your credit.
Well now they're liquidating their entire stock. They don't want to send it back to the manufacturers. As the stores get closer and closer to closing, prices will go down. They will keep the stores open until said stock is sold.Quote:

My brother told me Richmond-area stores were madhouses yesterday. As for the discounts, here is a story that says it all.Quote:

I am not suprised that they are going out of business. I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER, seen more than 15 people shopping in a Circuit City at one time. The stores were always nice and fancy, but nobody ever in them. It was like that 10 years ago, and it looks like things never changed for them.
Oh well fuck em.
I can see your point.Quote:

The circuit city around my area was always busy, more so than Best Buy. It was in a very populous neighborhood so that helped of course.
When Best Buy came to our town the Circuit City went to shit. For some reason CC thought that they could have higher prices than Best Buy and still stay in business.
The Circuit Cities in my area closed up long before this announcement. The one in Warner Robins closed around December, and the one in Macon was shut down earlier.
There was one slated to be open in North Macon around last Halloween. Now it's just an empty store in Turn-key condition.
My CC recently build a brand new up to date store this past year. Now they have signs everywhere for 30% off everything. I didn't get a chance to read the sign to well but I'm pretty sure it was 30%.
It's actually a few different liquidation companies setting the prices, so it will probably vary all over the place, with prices getting lower as it gets closer to march
So I walked into Circuit City today after class and the only deals they had were an extra 20% off of movies, the rest of their merchandise was only 10% off the regular price. A wasted trip. I'll go back sometime next month to see if they are actually trying to get rid of their inventory.
From what I've read online, if you haven't already bought your shit, you may have missed the best sales.
I don't know, if they had any amazing deals that already sold out, there must not have been many of them. From the looks of it they haven't sold much of anything. Shelves were still full and the majority of the stuff I remember being there shortly after Christmas were still there.
Then they probably haven't had the good deals yet. I know that each store is doing their sales at different times. I know I don't have the time to be driving by Circuit City 5 times a day, but i hate them anyways. They fucked up the wiring job on my stereo when they put it in my car so I had to go back and re-do it myself.
CC just completed a $300M revamping of their internal distribution, processing, accounting and ordering systems. This was a top to bottom 3 year project that would make them more efficient and streamlined (aka less payroll). I would not be surprised to see the 70-80% off signs come down and "Grand Reopening" signs go up a couple of weeks later. In the same fashion COMP USA pulled their store closing liquidation scam.
Doubtful in this case. The liquidators controlling the stores have jacked up prices and "marked them down" in order to squeeze every penny they can from the stores. There are no deals as of yet. Maybe in March.Quote:

from experience, I can tell you this is pretty much how liquidators always operate.Quote:

Yeah the deals suck ass. I went to my local CC and the dvds were fucking expensive. They mark the prices up then cut them down X%. You end up not saving anything in the grand scheme of things.
there will be some good sales, if they are liquidating
i mean i went to a clothing shoppe that was going out of business and got shirts that were normally $20~ for $4~
I went to Circuit City today, everything was like 10-20% off with all sales final.
I only went to make sure my extended warranty was still going to be good once the store was dead and gone. Thank god its all okay!
You serious? I went to Best Buy today and bought an iPod with a warrenty. I woulda gone to CC if I had known the warranty would work.Quote:

(I bought it last year) The extended warranties were bought by a 3rd company so they aren't affected by the store's closure.
The extended warranties were always technically a 3rd party company, they just called it "Circuit City Advantage" or something similar, and had a huge profit margin on it. The warranties are 3rd party and will be valid until they run out. Installation services and warranties were about all circuit city made money on when it came to computers.
Hmm...I'm returning my ipod cause its a little messed up and exchanging it for another one. Maybe I should swing by Circuit City.
Link should be www.circuitcity.com/failed
The end of March couldn't come soon enough. Every greedy person on the east side was at Circuit City today, and made a mess of traffic.

yeah they have that bs plastered all over the outside of their stores here in town.
I was in my local Circuit City and talked to one of the guys working there. Asked for a sweet deal on a display TV and some car audio. He told me display models will be boxed up and sold as normal stock....
On my way to work they had liquidation people on the sides of the highway with those up to 40% off sale signs. So I went in after work and the majority of the shit they had on sale wasn't much different than regular retail price at other stores. So I talked to by buddy and he informed me they upped the price on a lot of stuff so they could have it appear as though it was marked down a lot for a better deal. Classic retail practice really.
Once ink hits 40% off or so I'm stocking up. Other than that I probably wont buy much there.
Looked for deals on a notebook/netbook here and got the same response.Quote:

I sweet talked some cashier person into giving me a discount on a shirt that was on a mannequin in Macy's once. I had to cross boundaries I didn't want to, but I flirted my way into the fella giving it to me.
Never again.

Also, yeah I better see if there are any real deals at Circuit City before it completely runs out of inventory.
Circuit City is back! Sort of...
www.circuitcity.com
The site and the Circuit City brand property have been purchase by Systemax, Inc., so if you just have to have a package arrive with the big, red, candy-colored Circuit City logo emblazened on its side, then you're in luck...
Old thread is old.
CompUSA is still around online and theyve pretty much disappeared with their retail stores.
circuitcity.com was completely shut down for business at the time of the last post of this thread and for a long period of time later.Quote:

you seem to be a little too stupid to understand the difference between a company completely going bankrupt and shutting down every retail outlet and a company merely shutting down a large number of its brick-and-mortar locations.
Irony.
I never said CompUSA shut down completely, and "pretty much disappeared with their retail stores;" pretty much =/= completely disappeared.
Revive an old as shit thread because you got a hard-on because an electronic company that nobody here other than yourself cares about "came back."
now now kids
i don't care about circuit city i um crave attention i don't knowQuote:
