As you might know, all 567 Circuit City stores are going out of business. They're having a huge blowout sale but they don't have prices of their items on their site, just on commercials. I got dibs on the Flip Mino in black!

Go to their website to see.

Yeah..

I dont recall ever even going into a circuit city. But i see commercials, and if they have good going-out-of-business prices like they say, i may try to get some stuff.

I don't go there much either. Maybe around 10 times. It's sad to see it go even though I don't go there a lot.

i really dont care since i always go to best buy

I go to Best Buy a lot more too.

i hate best buy because i know more about their products than their employees do. i choose not to shop their. i buy online, or at gamestop.

Now I have to drive like 30min to get to the nearest best buy. I went look at cameras hoping for a sale but its all bullshit. Nothing is marked down.

Yeah, everything is only like. 10-20% off. Its pretty lame.

canadian circuit cities are staying open

I bet it's because Best Buy came.
And I came for it.

its definetly not best buys competition that put them outta business, circuit city is 60 years old, best is 40 years old.

It definitely was Best Buy that did it. Their stores have been declining for a while and they didn't have what it takes to make it through this recession.

yeah it is pretty sad for them
my dad used to work there in like the early/mid 90s

If they're closing down. They should simply put 60% off, but don't just think, "Shit, 60% off." Review the price and make sure it's even worth it.

What they do is, keep the same price and just increase the "Original: 900 dollars to 1700 and put Price: 900 and making you think your saving money.

Too bad there wasn't a thread for Woolworths.

Wow, that sucks. Usually going out of business sales have things for 50%-70% off

maybe it's because their customer service sucks and everyone there acts like they would rather be someplace else. i don't blame them, i would act like that too if the only job i could manage to get was at circuit city.

I'm guessing this is like some sort of American Woolworths?

Oh woolies! ): 99 years young.

The message on their website is kinda sad.

why are they closing?

why are they closing?

why are they closing?

Agreed.


Probably the economy. And don't post three times in a row.

I know!

well, anyone notice theres 567 stores? as in, five-six-seven? even deeper 12345678910.

in canada a few years back radio shack got bought out by circuit city.. wonder what's gunna happen with all those stores here, too.

well that explains why i havent been able to think of when i have ever been to one
haha

shitty deal for them though.

they arent closing any circuit city stores down in canada.

that really sucks-good sales tho

Radioshack isn't going to be a surprise at all if and when it finally leaves the tech marketplace. What's screwing these companies up is the amount/quality of service that the stores provide for the customer. Best Buy has this really great customer service staff that are so damn lovable and knowledgeable [or maybe they're the best bullshitters]

If anyone's going to stop Best Buy, they're going to have to make sure the customer knows they're getting quality. Look at the iPod, it's expensive as fuck but you know it's not some cheap Taiwanese mp3 player with horrible tech support.

Dude, I'm gonna go check out their sales today.
