Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating

Say what you will, but it is a bad day for our hobby when any audio store or any audio manufacturer goes down. It yells that people are just not interested in some facet or another of the business that would make you profitable. My guess is that it is rooted somewhere in internet purchasing and downloading, but CC also had a nasty rumored sales practice of selling returns and B stock as new without informing you.

MY COMMENT to the sales girl was,
GEE, I came in here WITH A
LIST OF 50 CD`S TO BUY AND
I WAS WANTING to SPEND MONEY,
BUT THAT`S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO,
WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING THAT I`M LOOKING FOR!

Jvcvcrman08, did she at least wait until you turned your back before she gave you the eye roll?

TRUE CIRCUIT CITY STORY: (cue music, poignant but not sad, yesterday, but not forgotten, thoughtless but not really dumb...hell you get the idea)

A friend of mine went in to Circuit City, (he's blind) looking to buy an ipod, or walkman.
A sales lady approched them and this conversation took place.
At the point of explanation of the product, my friend wanted to know about recharging, so he asked:

Do these have an AC adapter?
Sir, what does AC mean to you?

Hmmm...'What does AC mean to you?'

I guess it means that I am never going to buy anything from a company who would hire someone who doesn't know what AC is!!!!!!!!!!!!

This really happened, it's not an epitaph, or an I told you so, it's just a recitation of an event. Perhaps now we know why they went under...poor quality help in a high tech business.

Have any posters in this thread bought televisions within the last three years? How about Tivo recorders?

Where did you buy them?

Stay away, to the eve of each store's actual close. Otherwise you will be taken, big time. Buy a floor model at no more then 15% of the regular selling price.
