Circuit City closing

[Margies3]

We went to CC tonight. Most everything in the store is 10% off. That's not much considering that they're closing their doors. I asked the sales person if they knew when yet. She said the help has all been given their 60 day notice. Maybe we can look for deeper discounts in a month or so? Guess we'll wait and see.

I remember when CompUSA closed here...I expected HUGE savings but their discounted prices were about the same as or higher than BBs regular price...lame

They will probably see if they can get the public for all they are worth and then sell out the rest to a liquidater

If you read what they have up on their website and read a little between the lines, that's exactly the impression that I got.

I needed a copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student for Keith's computer so he could do homework on it (Word and Power Point specifically). It cost me $89 at CC, I saw it at Office Max (our next stop) for $99. In my book, that's not much savings. But then again, I never expect Microsoft to approve giving anything away.

That is a good sale price. Regular price is $150. I suspect MS has been giving huge incentives lately

I didn't see any good deals. But folks were cleaning off the shelves as though there was one. ????

I know! I saw that happening, too, Esther. 10% wasn't enough to make me jump up and down!

I remember CC being around before BB.

I was kind of sad to hear about CC closing. I don't like to hear about businesses closing, especially CC.
