haven't shopped there in years. Is it all my fault? Or perhaps a company that openly admits firing older "higher paid" workers had it coming? http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=6691

I have bought three things from a Circuit City store ever. A 1GB Sandisk Extreme II CF, a tripod, and a MP3 player case. I did order my 16-80Z and 50 f/1.4 from thier website when I had a 10% off coupon, but they haven't even been matching Sony's MSRP lately.

I've actually gotten some good deals from CC. Not very often, but I saved about $130 on my laptop a couple of months ago. Hope they have better close-out deals than Comp USA did.

The one by my house closed at the end of last year... there weren't really any good deals to speak of during that store closing liquidation. I hope the rest of y'all have better luck. | | | |

CC is Crap and has been for a long time. They just couldnt compete with stores like Frys, or Amazon.com

If I recall correctly Circuit City owns or is owned by CarMax. I avoid CC like I avoid used car salesmen.  | | | |

They want to make the customer feel like your getting a deal!
