Laptops were priced better at Best Buy AND Office Depot!

Have you found any good deals yet? I’ve been hearing that their clearance prices are higher than regular prices at many other places! The Mercury News recently had an article where the author took in a Best Buy circular, compared prices, and found that Best Buy beat Circuit City on nearly every price.

Haven’t seen much of a discount at my local store but there were about 50 people in line though.

I too went into one of the CC stories looking for a bargain on a Nano,NIkon camera, and Nintendo DS (brain age game)to my surprice they had not receive any Nintedo DS’s, only Nikon DS60 was on display and they didn’t know if they could sell for more than the 10%-20%, and the Nano would have bought but would like a better discount. I guess these are trying to say in business but they are going have to consider putting the customer first-pricing will be the driving force.

I work by one of the ones that closed last month. Their going out of business “markdowns” had higher prices than their typical “sales”. The store was almost empty and they were selling ipods and open box TVs for 10%-20% off retail. When does Circuit City, Best Buy or Amazon ever sell a TV for retail. I’m guessing there are going to be too many suckers for anybody to make any money reselling this stuff on ebay.

Consider Circuit City and Linens N Things cautionary tales and motivation to get your personal financial life in order. Save automatically. Set goals for your personal savings each paycheck.

If you are going to “save” as they liquidate,” make sure to put the savings in your savings account. Seriously.

Thank you.

I think the Fry’s electronics store here helped but Circuit City and CompuUSA out of business, just because they offered better deals. On the flip side, my boss bought a open boxed widescreen tv for half the price because there was a problem with it, and he called the manufacturer while in the store to see if it was still covered under warranty, which it was, and they had it fixed 48 hours later. Not bad..

I had great luck with Linens N Things when they, unfortunately, closed their doors. Circuit City certainly started off poorly with their going-out-of-business stuff. I wonder if they’ve changed their tune now that time is up.

This is a shame. Definitely a sign of the times. I have been checking Dealio.com every morning. They are a coupon site. They will be keeping everyone up-to-date with Circuit City deals.

FYI, Circuit City is using Gordon Brothers as the firm to facilitate their liquidation. Read this report on Gordon Brothers to find out how slick they are and how much of a rip-off they really are.
