Circuit City will be gone for good after March 8
It’s come to the end of the line for Circuit City. The company is shuttering the doors to whatever stores have remained open this Sunday, March 8.
We’ve heard and read that it’s been among the most underwhelming liquidations, with some people even finding themselves having purchased shattered TVs or searching sticker prices that weren’t even up to par with Amazon.
Some of the 567 stores that were being liquidated since mid-January have already closed, but you can try grabbing what’s left on those near-empty shelves this weekend.
Circuit City was liquidating around $1.7 billion in inventory. So did you score any good deals on unbroken TVs, or other electronics like PCs, audio gear or anything else, over the last two months? (Or had you already done some higher-end liquidation shopping at Tweeter, perhaps?) Tell us about it in the comments below.
I have protection plans on my Polk audio and Kicker amp. Also have protection plans on my Sony amp and sub woofer, HP laptop and desktop. Was wondering if anyone had 1-800 #‘s for the city advantage plans since Circuit City is closing there stores and can’t accept items to repair.
I went inside my local CC in the beginning of the end and got 3 steps inside the store before I turned around and left without ever setting foot back in that store again! And what makes this even more poignant is that this CC store had just opened in November 2008! When I went inside the store in February, it looked like a ghost-town with zombie employees shuffling around, aimlessly. The TVs were all on seperate channels with a slack-jawed employee in front of each one…a glazed look in their eyes and a slight bit of slobber dribbling down their chin as they wiled away their required hours to get to go home from that alien landscape! I was glad to leave with only 3 feet inside the store!
