Beerman Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=home Even though the one in my area (close enough to BestBuy, Walmart, Sams and Circuit City) never had enough sales people to help, it's been listed as one of the biggest in the country in sales. But they say they still never showed a profit. I'm thinking that the CPA was working to show that but I will agree, they are almost giving some things away. I'm interested in whether Circuit City can last much longer as there stock holders haven't been very happy with them either. It's also been long known that employee theft has been a problem.

marlinsinger Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 That is going to leave a fairly big hole. Now I will be stuck with getting a lot of my stuff on-line. BB and the others do not carry enough of things like components and upgrades. It was always nice to be able to go and see something up close rather than pictures.

Try to find better a bigger choice of components such as power supplies or even a tv card at Best Buy and you will mostly find only 1 or 2 choices where CrapUSA usually had a number of choices. I'm definitely going to visit them between Christmas and New Years to see what steals I can manage. I'm not looking for tv's but that's the item that will be gone before Christmas.

I also miss the company they bought out many years ago. When it came to a choice of CompUSA or Computer City, I always went to Computer City.

REDWAGON Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 The CompUSA in our area has been out of business for several months now. I used to visit the store when it was still open, but rarely bought anything from them. Even when it came to parts for a new build computer they rarely had what I wanted and even when they did it was so over-priced it was rediculus. Can't say I cried when they boarded up the store and left town. Frank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
