Circuit city TVs?

I work at best buy and was told the sales for circuit city really won't start to be anything great until the end of the liquidation around the beginning of march.

Really?

I was at the local CC on Saturday and the prices weren't anything special. 10% off MSRP is what most of the signs around the store said. Could have walked down the street to BB & gotten the product for the same price from a company that's currently still in business.

I'll wait until Feb & stop back in & see what they have left. Then again in March. I'm not going to be busting down their door for a good deal......but if I'm there and I happen to get lucky I won't complain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i went yesterday and the deals they were giving out werent worth it imo. rather buy online for the same price and still be able to make returns

I thought it was pretty funny seeing all the people standing in the checkout lines thinking they were getting a good deal on stuff. I went to BB right after and saw a few things that were actually cheaper at CC but not enough to make me wait in line for 20-30 minutes.

CC is a joke and it serves them right they didn't make it. I went there today and some dude was standing outside in the cold on the side walk in front of the store holding a "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS LIQUIDATION! 30% OFF" sign.

Go in the store, NOTHING is 30% off. Everything was their "everyday low price" with a posted sign of either 10% or 20% off retail. Gee, thanks.

they were doing the same thing around here. i guess they can use those signs to get people in the door even though it was a lie since i don't think it will hurt their reputation at this point //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

The CC here had everything at MSRP w/ 10% off. cd's and dvds were 20% off and cables were 30% off. Not that good of a deal.

Stories are pouring in from outraged shoppers who thought they could get a great deal on equipment from Circuit City as part of its fire sale liquidation. The problem: Circuit City won't let you open sealed boxes to inspect merchandise before you take it home -- and all sales are final. No returns. No exchanges. That's not so great if the gear is hopelessly broken.

One Minnesota family spent $1,500 on a 50-inch plasma TV and found the glass shattered once they got it home. The store refused to take back the TV and instead referred the issue to Circuit City headquarters, where no one answered the phone. The family is checking with Panasonic, the manufacturer, to see if it's covered under warranty.

A similar problem happened to a Boston customer, who paid $1,100 for what turned out to be a totally busted Samsung TV. She got a refund from her credit card company, but only after a local TV station made inquiries on her behalf. Be warned: Consumerist says that getting credit card companies to help you out may be difficult in cases like this where a bankruptcy is involved. (As I understand the specifics of the Circuit City case, normally your credit card company will just "charge back" the merchant in question, but in this case the merchant is going out of business and has federal bankruptcy protection during the process.)

It's not just big ticket items that can be dead on arrival. Consider this $7.50 "bargain" video game purchased from a Circuit City store, which appears to have been chewed up by a robot.

No doubt there are still some good deals to be found in these liquidating stores, but remember that, now more than ever, "buyer beware" is the rule of the day.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
