Circuit City official bankruptcy watch: final days, 90% off games, ends 03/08/09

[hcamacho]

Well Circuit city in SanPatricio Plaza PR. Has the entire CD/DVD/Videogame section fenced in and they are not selling them anymore (Even though i could see boxes full of videgames/GHkits ect). Completely disapointing. We only had a week at 20 percent off too. So i wasnt able to get anything... The rest of the store will continue the liquidation for whatever reason.. This liquidation sale has been awfull here. Hell the compusa sales were better.
Yep,went today to see if there was anything worthy....And to my surprise the cd,dvd and games section was closed down.That stuff was going back to
the states said the employee...The rest of the store had nothing worth to look at,neither buying.Bad liquidation here,Compusa was better,agreed!

[SolidMGSnake]

Most of the game guides were $11.99

Not only that things are still expensive. For instance. Game accesorires are 40 percent off alledgedly and yet a 100 dollar Rock Band Stage kit is 69.99

Ill probably check in a couple of days and see if the price has droped on the stage kit but other than that the sale has been an utter disapointment.

i might pick one up if it was $1 why get them when u can get them online for free if u google it? its not worth it. use the money on MS points or something like that or toward a game where u can have double the fun with that game and a new game!

For the last time, Rock Band and Guitar Hero accessories get lumped under the Rock Band and Guitar Hero discount percentage and not the Video Game Accessories percentage.

GH Battery packs were 40 percent off.

[farfus]

Still 20-40% off their bloated prices here in Fort Worth, nothing to my liking..

[jiggyteddy]

Anybody recently check out the CC in Whitestone, NY and the one in Rego Park?

Thanks.

[depascal22]

GH Battery packs were 40 percent off.

We didn't even have GH battery packs at my store.

Rego Park was ok. No points cards, and there stock of games was fairly limited(ie no big name recent games).

[SilentSinr]

has anyone been to any of the circuit citys in Connecticut?
preferably around Orange/Milford. Anything worth running out to get?

[dragonjud]

Thanks.

Was in Whitestone yesterday. Nothing to report. Games are still 20% off. And all the Wii Points are now gone. No MS points in site, and all the decent accessories (DS3, etc.) are gone.
Unless they bring the games further down, there's really no point in visiting that store.

[thePhildown]

I picked up Fallout 3 collectors edition at the Olympia, WA CC for $47.99 (regularly priced $79.99) --- The price reflects a recent sale price that CC had. :lol:

[bdennis85]

Any good deals at any Michigan stores? I've been holding off on getting a X-Box 360 or PS3 for a while now, and April seems so far away for another discount on these two systems.

[jza1218]

Rego Park was ok. No points cards, and there stock of games was fairly limited(ie no big name recent games).

Oh, I did see the Fallout 3 collectors edition behind the counter. There were also some games behind the counter, but I didnt get a real good look.

[atrsixaild]

I got No More Heroes for 11 (after tax).
marked 14.99 plus 20% off. Most were marked 19, so YMMV
This was at the CC at Gateway (BK, NY)

[mateen110]

Greensboro, NC

DVD- 25%
Vacuum-20%
Printers-10%
Video Games-20%
Video Game Accessories-25%
TV's-10% (lol)

Tried to grab Rock Band 2 Drums for PS3..but it was sold out.

[SpoDaddy]

I'm wondering this as well.

[Wildgift]

I can confirm that the CC in Torrance, CA (on Crenshaw/PCH) has the $13.99 1600 point cards. The employees on the floor denied it. I went to the front desk, though, and asked there, and they had plenty. I got 2, and they activated perfectly. These are the cards that come in the clamshell, not the ones that are activated in-store.

So, just go to the front, and don't bother with the floor staff.

What % are 360 games on sale for? Want to pick up a copy of Burnout Paradise 360...since Amazon hasn't had it in stock for a freaking week :bomb:

And if I do buy Burnout, will it be MSRP priced or the universal drop of $20?

if the drop was before the liquidation sale i bet but i bet if it was after like even that day or day after i bet they wont! u know how they are trying to get the most money they can!

[kaydigi]

They are $19.99 before the discount. Saw it yesterday in Chesterfield VA location.

[anthonyd46]

Went to the Norwalk,CT Circuit City Store on Saturday

All the games were 20% off but nothing was like extremely great.

I picked up Just cause for $8.99 + tax

Was going to get Mercaneies 2 for $23.99 but i passed.

ALOT of games were still $59.99 then 20% off such as cod 5, gears 2, etc.

They have ipod nano's for $130 thats a decent price.

There seemed to be alot of stock left the xplorer guitars were around $15-20 loads of those, some rock band drums, rock band 1 full kit was 129.99 + 20% off.

[jooanyenna]

Did Tacoma CC get restocked with Video Game accessories? I don't want to pay the bridge troll if I don't have to just to look around.

I only saw a buck load of MS points cards for $13.99, nothing else.

[FlamedLiquid]

My friend juts got back from the Saginaw, MI store and said they were cleared out o accessories all together and systems as well. Only had mostly dvds, cds, and games left. and he said most of the games were ps2.

:/

[PotatoGuy]

Flint has jack left as well. and the prices still are not that great!
I think movies were droped to 25 off but that still isnt a deal. most of their blus are at 30ish. big deal. i was hoping to snag a few good movies for under 20 a pop.

[KongaKing]

Anyone know what percent off of High Def Video Cameras are at?

[Hocus Cadabra]

Lexington, KY has zero 360 accessories, but tons of PS3 accessories and a few Wii. I didn't see any PS3 or Wii consoles.

I picked up Burnout Paradise 360 for $15.99 and Burnout Revenge (which still goes for $30 most places) for $13.57.

They had about 4 times the amount of games as they did last week, and signs everywhere that said "new stock arrives daily". They also had about 12 pallets of Guitar Hero stacked about 8 feet high. My guess was 400 sets. They even had a back corner of the store roped off with caution tape where all these pallets were. They also had guitar hero piled in other areas of the store also.

[erectiontown]

goddamn it, my CC had about 40 1600 pt cards the other day at 20%. i decide i'll pick up one or two today and they're all cleared out

[the_grimace]

wtf kinda liquidation was this. I took a 40 minute drive to the nearest circuit city today. Games were marked off 25% BUT THE ORIGINAL PRICES WERE RAISED 25% so they were selling for the exact same retail price anyway...

some liquidation... :(

any point cards in Flint?

[hostyl1]

I've been to 3 CCs and yet to see a single XBL point card. However, @ the Springfield, VA store, they had a handfull of Wii @ $200. About the only time you'll see one less than MSRP. Started to buy one just for GP, but didnt.

[deletion]

it's amazing how much of the games are gone at 20%. i'm not expecting much left at 30% off games.

[futbolplaya934]

it's amazing how much of the games are gone at 20%. i'm not expecting much left at 30% off games.

well u gotta figure how much do games ever go onsale if they the good ones? NEVER!! only when they get older! sports game yeah but im saying liek Resistance 2 and them will be a year or so before a sale u know guys

[chior]

check your target, Mercaneries 2 PS3 for $19.98 now. Could be $9.98 next week.

[ptuck874]

Anyone know what percent off of High Def Video Cameras are at?

high as poop (close to 800 or so that i saw, if you are talking about the hd high def cammys, like the sony palm thing, real little ones), but they were still sitting ther, i wouldnt buy at that price, i was hoping for like 400-500 or so :(

[oasisboy]

So my wife had a Faith Hill CD that had a sticker saying $9.99 and it ranged up as $9.98. We asked about the no decrease in price and the cashier just gave a lame excuse of how the CD was supposed to be $13 and forgot to change the sticker... i.e. they increased the price!

[oasisboy]

After discounts?

No, before discounts :roll:...

Yes, after discounts = it retails for $99.99!!!! come on!

I only saw a buck load of MS points cards for $13.99, nothing else.

Thanks. I took a chance that they might not have them and headed down. To my surprise they had almost a hundred of the. The only 360 Accessories they had. They got restocked. I heard the Manager at Tacoma talking about the California wearhouse is being emptied, and they are getting their last truck soon (Tomorrow or Thursday). That will be the last of the replenishment from that warehouse to the west coast store it serves.

Also of note what that the store also had Wii Fit's in stock and for sale @ 20% off (Social Gaming). So if your looking for that they have some in the back, didn't ask how many. They have 360's, Wii's, PS3's and PSP's in stock at 20% each.

As I was checking out I was talking to the Cashier and asked if they had anything hidden in the back. She said only what I see here. I said too bad they didn't have a playstation Joystick, she reached in a box and pulled out a DS3, and said "This?". So they have a few DS3's. The manager asked me if I wanted 10 of them, so I suspect they have a few of them for sale.

[porieux]

I saw the Rock Band Stage kit "on sale" for $111 and change, when the normal price is $99 everywhere. What a joke, I say good riddance CC.

[Inf^Shini]

Maybe I should drop by mine for a laugh and exclaim how it's no wonder they're going down.

[Maltandbagels]

Not sure if I am beating a dead horse here but I got a 4000 MS Points card for about 37 bucks. I am in Los Angeles and I know that the discounts vary but that looks to be a sweet deal to me anyway.

<--- XBLA whore

[ryne candy]

Only thing I saw that I was interested in was the PS3 BR controller.....selling for $17.50. They easily had 50 in stock. I'm going to wait to see how much it goes down and snag one when they have less than 10. I'm hoping for at least 50-60% off before people start buying them.

I got this too while picking up Sugarland for my wife. Stickered at $9.99, came up $9.76.

Decided to drop in and see what I could find. Ended up with:

:gc:Zelda: Twilight Princess -16.96
:gc:Super Mario Strikers (x2) - 8.96
:gba:Final Fantasy VI - 16.96

All prices before 20% discount. Not too shabby, IMO.

[The Linguist]

I saw a stack of refurbished 360s at my CC. What's the deal on these? Does anyone know if these are refurbished by MS or is this some in-house deal (a special division of Firedog warriors)? I know i could probably find out on my own, but I figured I'd be the first person in this thread to ask a question that could easily be answered by posing it at the store.

[jza1218]

Checked the CC on 5th avenue and 44th st in the city, no points cards. Think I might wait until games hit 30-40% off to pick up a few games.

[thrasher086]

Yes somehow it is the cashiers fault that the sales system had it priced wrong. Maybe talking to the manager who would probably change it would be a little more productive.

What I want to know is why in the world they have refurbished 360's in the first place o_O

[oasisboy]

The cashiers shouldn't be making stuff up when it comes to wrong prices. Like I said, the cashier mentioned to me that the sticker on the cd was the wrong price because that was supposed to be price during the week the cd was released (which is total BS, CC just jacked up the price!).

Edit: By the way, if you go to the Circuit City in Lewisville, TX, go to the bathroom and you will see a huge banner that has the Firedog logo but instead the employees put tape on the last 2 letters, so the banner says "FIRED" and the dog on the logo has an X over his eyes. It was funny but sad at the time. Also, on the urinal some CC employee put some smart ass comment using official CC stickers. Really fucked up...

[Inf^Shini]

What was this comment? :-s

[oasisboy]

What was this comment? :-s

I can't remember the exact phrase but it was something related to a small penis. I am not kidding! All the employees at this store seem to be just goofing around talking to each other and laughing... :roll:

When mine went down in December we took the Now Hiring and put and F over the H. Now that was funny. Yeah the cashier should have changed the percentage to whatever the sticker price was.

"don't get mad rabbit?" wtf?

it's slang buddy

[soonerdoc]

Very Strange.

I went into local CC at Quail in Okla City Monday morning at opening. All of the Blu-rays that were there Saturday (hundreds) were gone. I thought maybe somebody had come in and bought them all. Asked worker and he said they boxed up ALL blu-rays to send back to distribution center. They were in the midst of packing up all video games over 19.99 for the same reason. I pulled one still on the shelf with tag of 49.99 and asked if i could buy it (wasn't going to, just curious) and he said no, nothing over 19.99 could be sold. So i don't know what is going on, but basically all of the blu-rays and video games of consequence have been removed....

[Inf^Shini]

Maybe I should ask for an application, see what the reaction is :P

I'd probably be a bit more liberal as well if I knew my job was going to disappear soon, and besides, maybe some of those are disgruntled workers feeling like CC got what was coming to them.

That's really weird. Is your CC traditionally a busy one? Think they might be shipping them out to other CC's?

[thrasher086]

calm down dude. Its called humor.

The funny thing is I had that happen once at work to an associate. The customer was irate that World Of Warcraft was a pay every month game and was yelling. So I go up and tell him if he read the box and he said yeah it says that nowhere. So I take the box and show him where it says on the back that a monthly fee is required. So he takes the box and chucks it at the wall right next to me. So after that hearing things like that I don't find that funny. Hopefully you are smart enough to keep your cool.

[menikmati]

Didn't find anything at my local CC.

[abhinav]

Shame i couldn't find any last gen games at any CC, guess they got grabbed real quick.

$70 at my circuit city in keller, tx

Ive worked in retail long enough to know about irrate customers. In this cd situation though I would have just manually taken the discount off the marked price. Your already losing your job after all.

:/

[Josef]

wtf kinda liquidation was this. I took a 40 minute drive to the nearest circuit city today. Games were marked off 25% BUT THE ORIGINAL PRICES WERE RAISED 25% so they were selling for the exact same retail price anyway...

some liquidation... :(

Really? Examples?

Because that's certainly not the experience I had at the Circuit Cities near me. They kept the last regular prices CC had in the system. The clearance games were still at the clearance prices (before discount) and stuff like Okami Wii (still $19.99 before discount) and Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (still $19.99 before discount) were at their last prices in the CC system as well.

[etcrane]

Nothing new at the CC's around SJ CA ... hopefully a percentage drop to 30 will come in the next week or two ... at least it's not as bad as Target though where they're hiding everything ;-)

Isn't that just an accessory? I'm looking for video game examples where they supposedly raised the price from CC's last price in their computer system.

I'm just saying I haven't encountered them "raising the prices" of video games and neither did my friend in a different part of the country. It's a shame that people are missing out on some of these better game deals (like the ones I listed) because they think everything has been jacked up over MSRP.

This was discussed before. Circuit City is not trying to rip you off. You are going to run into many and I mean many items that were never tagged properly or have the wrong price because it was not put into the system properly. Circuit City has no reason to keep the prices high. Just talk to a manger or the liquidator of the store and see what can be done.

[Lord Hamm]

Around this time the Febuary clearance games would have come out....

I kind of miss the shitty....:(

Whether they are trying to rip people off or simply utterly incompetent, I am still laughing at them.

Not sure if I am beating a dead horse here but I got a 4000 MS Points card for about 37 bucks. I am in Los Angeles and I know that the discounts vary but that looks to be a sweet deal to me anyway.

<--- XBLA whore

Be sure it is one of the cards in the plastic clamshell type packaging. Circuit city was also selling a card that has to be activated at the register, and they are not working. I would think by now that circuit city would have removed all of the type that don't work, but buyer beware I guess.

The type shown in the pictures I took on page 137 do work fine, I've made a run for fellow cags and the codes for all 23 entered so far have worked fine.

They are selling only 1600 point cards at mine, normally $20 for $13.99 (No sales tax in Oregon.)

Oh, and Please Don't PM me, I am not making more runs. Thanks.

[probablysober]

The Rockville MD CC is still full of suck. It's right by a Microcenter and a Best Buy who both have better prices then CC's liquidation prices. Case in point I picked up a samsung monitor a few weeks back for about 220 at Microcenter, CC had it on sale after I got it for a little over 500...

At the Circuilt city in Dallas (N Tollway & Beltline), they moved Bioshock (360) up to $39.99. You can see the $29.99 sticker UNDER the $39.99 sticker. I asked the worker there and he said they moved everything up to the allowable MSRP and the Bioshock that was not the "Platinum Hits" had a higher MSRP than the Platinum Hits one even though it was the same game.

[jaysapathy]

Ugh, don't bring up the "employees losing their jobs" bullshit again. They had plenty of warning, and the smart ones have jobs lined up already. Don't feel sorry for stupid people.

Meanwhile, Bluray/CDs/DVDs hit 30% off at my store. Anyone else's stores getting this?

[carios23]

they had 20 or so ps3 20% off in circuit city last night. I guess they pulled them out later to attract customers to buy the remaining stock

[derspiess]

I stopped by my closest CC on Ridge Road in Cincinnati yesterday around 1:00pm since I was taking a half day, and they were fully stocked with Xbox 360 accessories. No points cards, just Live membership cards. Had about the same amount of games they had last week. I picked up an Xbox 360 battery/quick charger pack.
I'm guessing this is one of the high volume stores they keep open for a little while-- they always did good business when CC was in normal operations, and I'd wager that this particular location was actually profitable.

[erectiontown]

if any kind soul can pick up 2 point cards for me, i'd appreciate it. i have paypal!

Yeah, except for the whole country is bleeding jobs. You expect those displaced to find new ones when we are experiencing a net job loss every month?

[prateeko]

So why do they keep the PSN point cards out that require activation if their activation doesn't work? I saw a bunch last time I went and was tempted but knew from the other thread that I'd just end up in a world of hurt if I went for them...

[FoxHoundADAM]

MEh, my CC was pretty much cleared out over teh weekend as they raised the clearence to 30-50% off. Few crappy games for each system.

Thought about getting an Apple ipod speaker system but they didn't have any of teh boxes left so no deals.

Goodbye CC.

[BustaUppa]

Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked already but this is a LONG thread to look through so I figured I'd just post:

Let's say I buy a TV from CC now and there is a problem right out of the box. I can't go back and exchange at it CC, but any new TV I get would have some sort of manufacturers warranty, right?

Also I'm wondering if those warranties typically require you to SHIP the TV somewhere or if they like send a guy to your house or something. I've never bought my own TV before (always got hand-me-downs) so I'm a total noob here. I'm wondering if it's just a bad idea to try right now or if it's worth a shot. Any tips would be much appreciated!

[Floopy]

I would strongly advise you to not buy a TV from a store without a return policy. There is too much risk involved, and too many bad (or slightly defective) units out there. You don't want to invoke manufacturer's warranty unless you absolutely need to, because it is a massive PITA and the end result may or may not be satisfactory.

All that being said, if you did decide to try your luck, you should make them open the tv up for you in the store and plug it in. Watch it for a half hour. see if it works. You might still end up with a problem or notice something later, however. Personally, I wouldn't even consider bothering unless the TV was 50% off or more. Even then, I'd probably steer clear. Liquidators are shady.

[jwbrown77]

Is 30-50% universal? If so, does that make game accessories 50%?

I missed this news... Thanks.

Accessories were 30% off when I went last night.

[Ronin317]

I'm dying in anticipation of this Friday. If that employee wasn't full of shyte, the Consoles will drop to 30%. They have 22 PS3 80gb and 5 of the 160gb in stock at the CC I'm eyeing up...if they drop, the question is which do I go for? An 80gb with a Blu remote and extra DS3 would be $355 out the door (with tax)....which would be LOVELY...

This is not universal. Games were only 20% off as of yesterday in Bloomington, MN. Most I saw off on anything was 25% off on DVDs and CDs.

Get the 80 gb version and upgrade the HDD yourself.

The return policy is only supposed to cover failures or issues during the return period, anything beyond that is supposed to be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Any TV 32" or bigger (and it's not always that size, it could be smaller, as every manufacturer is different) normally has an on-site warranty for it, which means you would have someone come out to your house for the repair and not have to ship it anywhere. Again, every vendor is different, as I've seen some vendors for lower-end TV's make you ship it to them, regardless of size. If you're looking at one 32" or bigger, they should come out and fix it at your house. You could check the manual for the TV you're looking at from the manufacturer's site and see what it says, as that's the final authority on how they handle returns.

The two big TV purchases I've made in the last couple of years had on-site warranties, and I wouldn't buy a large TV without the warranty being on-site.

Even if it craps out on day 1 or 2, the manufacturer will fix it. Though, that could take days to weeks or months, depending on the part needed to fix it or the issue that needs to be resolved.

Manufacturer warranties aren't PITA's as a general rule, it depends on the manufacturer.

Though, I can't see CC letting you open up the TV in the store and plug it in and run it for a half-hour. Nor could I see Target, Walmart, or Best Buy pulling that one off. Maybe some of the higher-end stores would let you do that, though a "normal" retail store, nope.

Liquidators aren't the most honest of people, no. That's the main reason why I'd pass on such a purchase. Other people, that's up to them.

[Ronin317]

Get the 80 gb version and upgrade the HDD yourself.

That was my plan...it simply doesn't justify the $280 (after 30%) vs. $350 (after 30%) price difference for the HD space and Uncharted. Maybe if it had backwards compat...but I still have a barely used PS2.

Oh, and on the headphones topic...hasn't their headphone selection pretty much blown for years? 20% off on their ridiculous prices on them is still probably 10+% more than what amazon or buy has them for regular price. Unless you're talking about the Bose quite comfort ones...

[eau]

Does anyone know how much the Xbox 360 wireless wheel is going for now? It was $46 before the liquidators took over.

[TimDJ84]

Go for the 80 gig.I went with the sony card deala nd got my PS3 for 275.I have 10 games right now and still have only used up about 20 gigs with all the dl content.Besides you can upgrade to 320 gigs for under 100 bucks and it is as simple as removing a couple screws.

Anexanhume is right. Do you even watch the news or read a newspaper. Everyone is losing jobs because if how the economy is. You state that the employees are stupid! Please man, you need to think before you say or write things.

[Hobbes510]

Anyone know if Digital Camera's (still shot, not video) are still just 20% off? I'm looking to get a D300 (18-200mm kit) but won't consider it till i'm seeing atleast 30% off. Figure after tax that would put me at around $1900 which is decent.

[jwbrown77]

Thanks sp00ge and gfshurts.

[oasisboy]

1. That's weird that a store going out of business suddenly popped up a new location in my city and I'm unaware...

2. I believe you mean Southlake, and for the love of god, don't associate my town with those clowns. :D

1. No need to be a smart ass...:roll:

2. Southlake = Where rich (*cough* white *cough*) people live and where kids think high school football is everything in the world.... :lol:

My Store just north of Seattle is completely wiped out with only junk remaining.

When I was at the Tacoma, WA store last night:
Gaming accessories - 30%
Games - 20%
Camera's - 20%
Headphones - 20%
Social Gaming - 20%
Game Systems - 20%
laptops - 10%
vacuums - 20%
Phone Accessories - 30% (unconfirmed)
movies and cd's - 25%

It was the same at another store in Silverdale, WA

Edit: Of note when I was talking to the liquidator manager last night he indicated he was expecting "one more truck of inventory from the California wearhouse". So it's possible that some store might get restocked on something. I was strangely able to get a Wii Fit, and Live Points last night when none were to be found when I was there on Jan 26th. So I think this goes along with some other reports of a restock on some items.

[Thwick]

I went to the one in Brooklyn NY last week and prices were at best 20% movies and music, everything else was 10% off. And prices were no better than I'd find online. I'll probably try again this weekend to see if they drop any further.

[Korben]

I was at the Montclair, CA CC yesterday and they still have decent stock in the various departments but then again the discounts are still only 10-20% except gaming accessories which are mostly gone at 30%.

[Docsamson]

As of 11am the Fishers, IN CC had about 8 Wii Fits at 20% off.

[shoe478]

Thanks for writing all that, there are big signs posted in every CC that I go in. The signs say Full Manufacturer's Warranties are in Effect. One thing though, I did go into a CC that had a testing table for electronics set up.

[dabamus]

Something weird I noticed at the Monaca, PA CC was that in the TV box sets, they had multiple copies of most shows, but the ones of JAG that I was looking for were completely gone. They had almost all other TV Shows, though. Given, they were still ~Amazon prices after discount, but still odd.

[shrike4242]

I'm surprised they had a testing table for electronics, I guess it's to make sure they don't have to deal with any issues with dead electronics before it leaves the store.

[KongaKing]

Anyone try to haggle prices? Worth a shot at least I'd say.

[technole]

Anyone try to haggle prices? Worth a shot at least I'd say.

No haggling they go by what is in the CC system. When it gets 80-90% off they might manually have to put in some discounts (it happened at one CC closing in their first wave).

This guy had to calculate 80% discount in his head for some of my purchases and on a portal HD it was more like 85% but he said if his math was wrong, then I got an early christmas gift from him. :)

[ssj100matt]

Anyone try to haggle prices? Worth a shot at least I'd say.

Ive seen people successfully haggling prices on computers and computer parts but not VG stuff... When i mean successfully haggle, i mean they get an extra 5- 10% off and the person they are haggling with is a manager...

[dabamus]

Do you think it'd work on an external HDD? I need one for backing up ~11k photos I've taken, and some videos and the sort. I'd like a WD Home Edition, but it'd be more than BB or Wal Mart after the 20% discount it was at when I last visited.

[sunnysky]

I think this liguidator is making a big mistake.
They are running this liquidation the exact same way that they would if we were in a profitable economy.
They have completely Failed to account for the Large percentage of consumers that have been forced to learn how to be more guarded with their money. Similar to how the Oil company's just assumed that when prices dropped, people would start putting on more miles. But that didn't happen.
With an economy like this, putting a sale sign on something does not automatically make it sell out.
I have a feeling they will not drop below 50% off. I think they will be forced to sell off to Re-seller stores.

[FadeToOne]

1. No need to be a smart ass...:roll:

2. Southlake = Where rich (*cough* white *cough*) people live and where kids think high school football is everything in the world.... :lol:

I was entertained when their almighty god... I mean football coach... decided he'd be better off coaching college... and then both UNT and Southlake sucked... and things were right with the world anew.

Funny you should mention this. The FYE near me that was going out of business never got below 50% off. I was there on the last day and sure enough, only 50% off. The difference is, I assume, that they shipped off all unsold stock to an FYE that was not closing, so they never needed to go that low.

[Hobbes510]

how long do you guys think we'll need to wait till we get anywhere near 50% off?
I'm banking on a 5 to 10% drop every week but that might be a bit unreasonable. Here's hoping... *holds up drink*

[jughead]

Got 2 white 360 battery packs today for 18 bucks. Not bad.

[THAGEN]

Just got back from the CC near Quail in OKC. The earlier reports of them boxing quality console titles up and shipping elsewhere is true - they had not a single Special Edition title or anything like that. I asked about the encap dispays with the console (PS3) in i and I was told that those were to be shipped back to Sony, so no g on that setup. Bose gear demos were the same.

Only thing that there were a lot of were PC games. All of those are still at MSRP, so even 30% off puts them higher than anywhere else.

Really? My CC Manager said come back and see him and he'll work out numbers. But closer to the final days. I have my eye on a few floor samples, and I think I might be able to walk out with a radio, ps3 and 360 for liek 200 bucks.

[Pojomofo]

Yeah the CC in Boise ID yesterday had a good size stack of both Wii's and Wii Fit's at 20% off, im holding out for a 60GB pack if they ever get one in. I also havent seen any Live Points cards in forever

[Ronin317]

is this at all stores do u happen to know? im planing on going friday to mine when i go home if so ill drive till i get one!!! to an extent! lol
It seems to be different depending on which of the liquidators is handling a particular store. I was in OH last weekend, and the CC in Stuebenville was at different levels on certain things than the CCs in Pittsburgh. In fact, the stuebenville one SUCKED, as games were only 10%, and this was 2 weeks into the clearance, when most stores I knew of started at 20% on games.

[dabamus]

Good thing I live near Nile and not Stuebenville then. :-p

I'm hopefully going to the Pittsburgh one on Friday since I may be going down there for a movie.(I go to college in PA and live in OH)

[TehTriggerman]

Maybe its time to finally go in. I wanna pick up Fallout 360 and Fable II..Anyone been to the Sterling Heights MI store lately?

[redsoxfan808]

waiting for the 60gb xbox or just the upgrade packs? I am about to jump on getting the wireless adapter, I'm just afraid it won;t be able to stream netflix at highest quality

[Shady07]

Does anyone know how much the Xbox 360 wireless wheel is going for now? It was $46 before the liquidators took over.
i got one for 32.xx about a week ago

[shoe478]

waiting for the 60gb xbox or just the upgrade packs? I am about to jump on getting the wireless adapter, I'm just afraid it won;t be able to stream netflix at highest quality

I'm lost, your 2 options are use wireless or do without? I would use the wireless if that was the only option before not having any connection, if you have some way to run some CAT then go ahead and do it.

I found a used one for $50 so I tried it and I haven't had any problems. I probably would've had to spend $20ish just on CAT and then I would've had to go under the house and drill another hole in the floor to connect it directly to my router.

Edit: I was able to get the 60GB HD and it is a great deal at 30% off. It came with 3 months of live and a wired headset. Both were worth $40 separately so I technically got the HD for $35.

Haha, yeah, the CC in Steubenville does really suck, the one in St. Clairsville (about 45 min. south of Steubenville) is no better - picked pretty clean. Any idea how the CC is at Robinson Towne Center?

[Flushola]

Ugh ... can't really say much else (because this sucks, and I just can't) but I found out today that the store I work at is closing MUCH earlier than the expected end of March. And by MUCH earlier, I mean in about a week and a half.

[dabamus]

I feel bad for you flushola. Is it because you sold almost all of your stuff?

[Flushola]

I feel bad for you flushola. Is it because you sold almost all of your stuff?

No, we have a lot of product. Liquidators just want to speed up the process.

Anyone got any job connections in lower Michigan?

it's a pretty good distance for the cat 5, it would be about 100 feet or so of cable and it would run down a hall lol

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully this isn't a trend of the liquidators. Not for the deals, but rather for the people that work there.

Edit: Any idea how this "Speeds up the process". You would think that it's faster to move it out of your store, rather then truck it across the US. But With what I heard them say about closing Warehouses it makes sense to move things to the faster selling store for the liquidator.

[Nutty Buddy]

At my local CC this weekend, a customer was very irate. A week prior they had bought a camera at 10% off. Now that cameras are 20% off, they were demanding the difference. It was hilarious to watch.:-({|=

[Flushola]

Hey everyone, sorry to thread crap with my little pity party there. I work tomorrow morning so if I hear any information regarding the price drops, I'll post here.

[jfuze]

Anyone here check out the Taylor, MI store?

OB is $10 at TRUS if you can find it ... just fyi ... man ... I hope the next percentage drop comes soon at CC

[dabamus]

I'll repeat: DO NOT BUY 800 POINTS CARDS! They will NOT activate and they will be useless.

Luckily the CC I went to accepted mine back because they evidently knew of the problem.

[ITDEFX]

What is Microsoft's official policy on buying point cards from CC's liquidation? Will they allow you to call it in and activate it or you are officially SOL?

I tried to call, and they said that they couldn't.

You're SOL unless CC knows of the problem, and gives you your money back.(what luckily happened to me)

did u buy one in the plastic thing?

[mitch079]

At my local CC this weekend, a customer was very irate. A week prior they had bought a camera at 10% off. Now that cameras are 20% off, they were demanding the difference. It was hilarious to watch.:-({|=

Be even better when the final sale hits. What an idiot.

[dabamus]

did u buy one in the plastic thing?

No. AFAIK the 800 points cards don't come in the plastic clamshells. Only the 1600 and 4000.

[WTFer]

Meanwhile, Bluray/CDs/DVDs hit 30% off at my store. Anyone else's stores getting this?


Road Warrior blu-ray on Amazon: $13.99
Road Warrior blu-ray on CC: $24.99 + 30% off.

You do the math

[dabamus]

It's worth it for some Blu-rays, though, like one I want which is The Rock. It'd be $25 - 30% which is $16. That's cheaper than Amazon and WalMart.

[W0lfRHart]

is it worth it at this point to go to CC or would everything be picked clean? Rockford area

[xconguy]

will routers 'fly off' the shelves for 20% off?

[sasukekun]

Damn the Riverside, CA CC was picked clean, nothing but GBA games left. Did see a few Logitech 360 racing wheels and a bunch of Guitar Hero World tour guitar bundles.

[gordojones88]

My CC has about 100+ Xbox 360 wireless controllers on the wall for sale at 30%. Hoping I can get one at 50% in a few weeks. A sign on the front door says "Receiving shipments daily."

[PikaPichu]

I sooooo would've went off on that customer. I just love standing up for the little guy (in this case, the poor worker at CC)

[Inf^Shini]

Are PSN cards affected as well?

Just curious even though they won't even DISCOUNT those, saying they're considered gift cards >.>

[dabamus]

Anything that needs activated at the register is affected.

I believe the only things that aren't are Wii cards and Xbox 360 cards in the plastic clamshells.(don't quote me on the Wii points, though)

[sml_mndz]

it's slang buddy

shit, sum slang i've herd of. me conprendez mendez!

Gotcha.

[videodrone]

will routers 'fly off' the shelves for 20% off?

who knows, my store was nearly cleaned out of CD-R (one 50 count spindle left) which after 20% were way above Office Max's sale price next door.

[Inf^Shini]

Sounds like CC is really doing a number on some people too anxious to wait for a good deal

[msu89dawgs]

It's amazing that people are scarfing stuff up at prices that are much higher than CC's sale prices on the items before they went out of business (not to mention everyday online prices for the stuff). I guess people assume that items must be cheaper, without doing any research.

My brother and I went yesterday; he got a new 360 Arcade for $140, as well as a bunch of movies, games and CDs. I almost bought a Panasonic BD35 Blu-ray player that was marked down to $210, but it didn't come with a remote, one of the rubber feet was missing, and the top was pretty scuffed up. Still thinking about getting the demo LG BH200 combo Blu-ray/HD DVD player that was there yesterday (assuming it hasn't been sold if I do decide to go back and get it).

[dabamus]

If you have a PC that can run BluRay and HD-DVD, and a good size monitor/way to export to an HDTV, then get the LG GGC-H20L from Newegg.

It's $120 at the moment, and works wonderfully. I use it on my 19" widescreen LCD, and it looks great for BluRays or HD-DVDs.

I actually have a GGC-H20L that I bought a few months ago on Ebay; got it new in the box with three HD DVD movies for $100.25 shipped after an Ebay coupon and MS Live cashback, which I received after the 60-day wait. Very nice drive, I just wish the version of PowerDVD 7 Ultra that was bundled with it supported more than 2-channel audio. I'm toying with the idea of building a HTPC; if and when I do, I'll move the LG to it, along with my Hauppauge OTA HDTV tuner card.

[TimDJ84]

It is so upsetting here in the STL.The big items have stuck around,but many games are flying at only 20% off? People buying accessories they can get cheaper elsewhere all because they are 30% off? There are literally no PS3 controllers at any CC and only one has a numerous amount of games.The problem is that many of the games are great titles,but with all the games I have been able to get way cheaper,20% is not a draw for me.Also,noticed no XBOX360 controllers/accessories,did not see Wii though.Seriously,people are really dumb for picking up items that they drive 20,30 minutes for to save 3 bucks.Way to break even after the cost of your gas.

[whitereflection]

My brother and I went yesterday; he got a new 360 Arcade for $140...

You mean $160, yeah? 20% off is only $40.

[Cloggerdude]

You mean $160, yeah? 20% off is only $40.

Some stores have 30% off game systems.

[gomikeoh]

I just came back from CC. Spoke to a manage and she said they will up the % off games tomorrow or friday to 30%.

[etcrane]

I just came back from CC. Spoke to a manage and she said they will up the % off games tomorrow or friday to 30%.

Good info ... the first few days of the 30% window is probably going to be the last chance to get most of the good games (especially if it happens right before a weekend, which is like a madhouse around here at least). Once it goes beyond that, it's all just going to be niche deals and people getting lucky until the end ... at least that's my take on it ...

[J7.]

Stupid CC is keeping 75% of the games behind the friggin desk. How are we supposed to know what they have and how much they'd cost...

Computer Geeks (geeks.com) has the drive for $89.99 + ship/tax... (and I agree, they're awesome drives, just picked one up for a Father's Day gift for my dad... yeah, shopping early, but afraid HD-DVD capable units won't be around too much longer)

I completely agree, that's why I'll probably look for some titles tomorrow.

[gantt]

I don't see 30% off games being a significant deal except on the games that were on clearance before the liquidation (i.e., $16.96 games down to $12) - and even those were $10 at CC earlier this year.

30% taken off the $60 list price of a recent release is still $42. I've seen every recent 360 release I can think of for less than that (except Fable II). I guess if you missed those deals and can't wait any longer then this is an opportunity.

I agree that this drop will probably clear out most of the halfway-decent titles, if they're not gone already.

[smokeyp31]

so games are going 30% this weekend, then accesories will go 40% right?, are the car stereos finally be 40% off , anybody knows, I wanna get a nice stereo for my car, I'll check CC on Friday.

Think it took almost 2 weeks for 10% to go to 20%...so 30% might not happen this weekend.

[seanr1221]

So an update on my points situation.

Sony activated my points within 24 hours of faxing them my info.

MS told me they would activate the points within 1-2 business days...it's been 9 and there's no word from them. CC said they can't give me my money back and my credit card company said they can't give me my money back so right now Im pretty pissed off.

So if games go to 30% off, will consoles as well? Still considering buying another PS3 for my second living room

If you have no luck here, you need to contact your state's Attorney General... and soon, considering that it may take a little time to take action and once CC is closed it'll be near impossible to find someone who cares.

That's not to say that Circuit City didn't dig their own grave, but the whole situation sucks. For CAG's it's a decent way to save some money, but just don't forget the people this hurts the most.

That's my public service announcement for the day. Happy Hunting.

[watch the shadows]

I have been dealing w/ CC for years, and any time I went in there it was like pulling teeth to get any help. More then once I left, because I was unable to find any one to help me. So yeah it sucks these people are losing their jobs, but they brought it on them selves. So instead of standing around getting paid for not doing anything, they can stand around and not get paid.

Everyone I have talked to about CC going out of business, has had the same experience.

Then again this is just my 2 cents

I have to agree here. For the most part, my visits pre-liquidation were totally terrible. I try to call up there to ask a question, I end up getting bounced around until somebody wants to answer the phone. This has happened PLENTY of times, at least waiting 10 minutes each time.

Nobody wants to walk and ask customers if they're finding everything, they just head to different departments and chat it up with the other employees. I've not had the same register problem that others have encountered, though. Finding someone to answer a question is as difficult as trying to fit a round peg in a square hole.

So, in some ways I feel bad. In other ways, I don't. When you have terrible service like that, there's just no excuse for it. Nor will people tolerate it.

[Ronin317]

So, in some ways I feel bad. In other ways, I don't. When you have terrible service like that, there's just no excuse for it. Nor will people tolerate it.

This is where I stand. I think the company itself was moronic at best, and if they thought things were going well, customer service wise, they were dead wrong. Now, I do feel bad for most of the employees, as someone who went through a layoff myself 2 years back, but for the most part, I agree that they dug their own grave.

The biggest complaint I had wasn't so much the attitude of the employees, as it's the same as Best Buy, it was the lack of direction those employees were given and the staffing of areas of the store. I shouldn't have to walk around for 5-10 minutes looking for someone to ring me up and get bounced from section to section, while the registers sit un-used. Eventually I'd get sent to customer service, where I'd be waiting for another few minutes while someone needed to go grab an associate from the back to ring up a friggin' DVD. Then, when rung up, it doesn't scan right, and I have to argue with the person showing them their own ad and the price it's supposed to be.

This happened to me so many times that I stopped going there, even if they had the lowest price. I'd rather go to BB and argue about a price match, because they at least have employees where they are supposed to be...and I get reward zone points.

Exactly my thoughts as well. It got to the point that anytime I went into CC, I knew what I was after so I wouldn't have to "inconvenience" the employees. The few times I was going after a locked up item, ugh.... let's not go there, shall we.

While it's sad to see people lose their jobs, I have no pity for the people at my local store.

[Flushola]

Accessories are also at 40%, games were already at 30% and they went to 40% today. Not sure about consoles because we sold out of those almost right away.

[dragonjud]

Hmm, given that info, it looks like it could be just a regional thing. Most stores had the games at 20% over the last week or so.

[yedgee]

Hey everyone. At work right now in Madison Heights, MI and everything is going down. Games are now 40%, blu ray is 40. Any questions let me know.


I'm thinking about hitting up this store at lunch.

Are there lots of blu's left?

How about the PS3 wireless keypad?

And any LittleBigPlanet game guides left?

Thanks.

[Flushola]

Yedgee, no LBP guides or PS3 keypads, but we have a ton of blu rays

[Wolfpup]

At mine the Blu Ray selection was terrible, and insanely overpriced, so at least at 20% off it was a joke.

Now the consoles for 20% off aren't bad, IF I didn't already own them. Might by a PS3 or 360 for a friend though, but she doesn't own a TV right now, so...

[PhillyCat666]

I was at a CC in the Philly suburbs last night and their games are still at 20%...

[yedgee]

Yedgee, no LBP guides or PS3 keypads, but we have a ton of blu rays

Thanks for the quick response.

Guess I'll still make the trip for the blu's and see if there's any good PS3 games left or some guides I need.

[seanr1221]

I filed a complaint with the BBB on my CC.

[dragonjud]

I filed a complaint with the BBB on my CC.

Hmm, and this will help you how?:roll:

[seanr1221]

Is the company not owned by a liquidation company now? They're not above any other business. The BBB will investigate them.

[alltimeqb]

I want to get rock band 2 (all of the instruments) as cheaply as possible. I went by my circuit city yesterday and they had the whole set for 151.xx (20% off)

They also had guitar hero III with the les paul guitar for 30 something, also 20% off.

Do you think getting the instruments separately is cheaper/worth the hassle? Or do you think just getting the whole set for 151.xx is a pretty good deal. I know it doesn't compare to the toys r us deal around x-mas but i guess some savings is better than nothing.

They had two in stock when I went yesterday, so maybe waiting till this weekend for another drop in price is worthwhile?

[shrike4242]

I filed a complaint with the BBB on my CC.I'm guessing this is for the debacle with your PSN cards? Or did you have issues with Wii points cards or XBLM cards?

[mpau25]

I was at the Daly City CC last night in CA and games were at 20% off still.

From the article:

It has been so frustrating doing sales for the past 3-4 months having to persuade customers to make purchases because of the company's problems.

I rarely bought anything at Circuit City because amazon.com was always $3-$5 cheaper on all music CDs and $10-$15 on DVDs and Blu-Rays... How in the world did they expect to sell merchandise at high prices?

Every weekend up to this, we've been pretty dead. We'd stand around for the first hour doing almost nothing, except help the 1-2 customers that came in at this time.

Maybe they could have laid off some people? If you are just sitting around doing nothing, then some employees should have been laid off to cut down on some costs.

Plenty of people have bad things to say about Circuit City, just like any other retailer. Personally, I always felt this was one of the good stores.

Maybe he felt like that because he worked there? If plenty of people say bad things about a store, then there has to be a good reason for that

One of the main gripes associates currently have is the complete loss of any accrued Paid Time Off, some associates had as many as 140 hours of it that had accrued from never taking a vacation in a year, which has now disappeared into a puff of smoke

You either have no life so you want to work all the time, or you are an idiot for not taking time off.

I can keep going on and on but you can see that this "great worker" was not perfect by any means and he just wants us to feel sorry because he lost his job. Whatever, there has been close to 1 million jobs lost since the beginning of the year so welcome to reality.

[Wolfpup]

I don't see why we shouldn't feel bad for people losing their jobs, and am kind of disturbed by the people in this thread calling them 'idiots'. What, for loyalty, or not wanting to switch jobs, or whatever?

And you're hardly an idiot for not taking vacation time. I'd think most people probably save theirs up, as much as they can. I sure do.

And another thing, really Circuit City going under is HUGE. This was what, the second biggest electronics store in the U.S. I assume? It's really something that it's collapsed.

[oasisboy]

1. And you're hardly an idiot for not taking vacation time. I'd think most people probably save theirs up, as much as they can. I sure do.

2. And another thing, really Circuit City going under is HUGE. This was what, the second biggest electronics store in the U.S. I assume? It's really something that it's collapsed.

Why would you save vacation time? Vacation time was created so that people can be away from work, be replenished and go back to work energized. A "fresh" employee will perform better than someone that never takes vacation. You are an idiot if you save your vacation, some employers will not pay your vacation if you get fired.

2. Circuit City going under is a big deal but not huge. They are laying off 34,000 people or something like that? Caterpillar laid off 20,000 people a week ago, Macy's will lay off 7,000 people and so on and on. CC is just a small piece of the pie for job losses.

I've never understood those who accrue so much vacation. Then you wonder how come most of those who do are stressed out all the time.

[Wolfpup]

Why would you save vacation time?

So you can take more of it at once, or use it if you need to for whatever reason, or just need to get away. Not everyone gets much out of a one day break or whatever.

Saving vacation time (if it is an option with the company you work for) is not alwasy stupid. If I had the choice I would bank it at my company for future commitments, for example so I could take more time off in a few years for the birth of a child, death of a loved one, and other events were paid time off would be useful. (FMLA requires employers to give you unpaid time off, so no income if you use that law to force your employer to give you time off.)

I was hurt on the job and unable to work for six months. The vacation time I had saved up not only ensured I was paid the first few weeks I couldn't work, but also put my official date of leave until the next month. This fact saved me a month of COBRA insurance payments (Very, Very expensive, as you pay both your and the employers premium every month, but better than no insurance......)

True, I was taking the chance that if I get fired (or didn't give my employer two week notice when I left) I would lose the time and monty, but it worked out in my case.


Oh, and it's rough out there, I got a call from a buddy of mine, he saw a job ad for Aircraft Pilot position, he walked in his resume in person to the company since it was local. The recruiter told him that they put the job only online, it was up for only 24 hours, and they received 3,000 applications either via email, fax or in person. These job losses are across multiple sectors and industries, I think they only people hiring nowdays are bill collectors and repo men......

Anyway, to get back on topic, I am going to check with the Circuit City again today and see if they have been restocked (I read the post about the west coast stores possibly getting one final shipment from the warehouse.)

A "fresh" employee will perform better than someone that never takes vacation. You are an idiot if you save your vacation, some employers will not pay your vacation if you get fired.

Here's just one example, I had 150 hours of vacation time at the end of October from not taking hardly any vacation for a year. Why? Because I was going to need to take the whole month of November off for the birth of my son.

At my office, it is not uncommon for people to have upwards of 200 hours of vacation. Some, like my immediate boss, even run into the situation where they *must* take leave or lose it as we're only allowed to carry over 240 hours (6 weeks) year to year. Also, we have a large international worker base, so many take two months off every other year to do international travel.

I dont really see how any company can get away with not paying accrued leave. It's part of your compensation package for work you've already done. It would be like paying you $500 for a job then a month later taking back $50.

Fortunately, my agency pays off accrued vacation upon separation. They dont pay sick leave though, hence, I use that up about as quick as I earn it.

[ash303]

Anyone know if the CCs in St. Louis have upped their % on anything? Thanks.

[Arakias]

Circuit City did it to themselves for laying off longer termed employees for the younger batch. But I do feel bad for the lower level guys.

Yikes. That's astounding there would be that many in 24 hours for such a specialized job!

Yeah, I can only carry forward as much as I get in a year, but I save all that. I don't know that they're happy I take it in big lumps though, but I don't like just taking off a single day or whatever.

Not sure if this has been posted yet or not, but all of the stores that are on the accellerated markdown schedule will close in 10 days. My store is one of those stores, and we now have video games and CD/DVD/Blu's for 40%.

Also, a lot of you guys are real jerks. I didn't like the company, and I worked there for 4 years. That certainly doesn't mean I'm happy about it going out of business. Did it deserve to? Yes. That doesn't mean anything.

I stopped at a few CC's in my area:

Warrington, PA: Games and Accessories 30%, pre-owned games 40%, Guitar Hero stuff 20%

Willow Grove, PA: Games 20%, Accessories 30%

Montgomeryville, PA: Games & Accessories 30%

The only thing I found interesting was Kingdom Hearts II (Non GH) originally $20 at 30% off at the Montgomeryville location.

Guess I'll have to check it out today and confirm...They had a pallet of PS3s and Xbox 60gig Pros and refurbished 20gigs a few days ago here.

Did Warrington have any PS3's in stock?

[spamfree2]

CC near NE mall (DFW) had 20% signs up but games were ringing up 30%.

Picked up last copies of

Okami ( Wii - $19.99 ) for $13.99
Persona 3 FES ( labeled 39.99 ) for $13.97

I would wait longer but I doubt they will be around. $13.xx for new sealed is much better than waiting for a coupon and buy used at GS.

I didn't see any out, but I didn't really look at PS3 stuff because I don't own a PS3.

Can anyone confirm the % discounts in NYC? It wat at 20% off games and 30% off accessories last weekend. Just wondering if they had gone up at all.

[TypeSH]

fairless hills, pa - games 20%, accessories 30%

nothing of interest. was close to picking up the single 360 GH xplorer guitar i found, but price after % off was $16. $6 too much.

no systems. about 21389123 guitar hero bundles. rock band accessories (stage kit)

even TVs were an overpriced ripoff. waste of a trip.

Tigard,OR. Console accesories 30%, games 30%. Only have 20 xbox 1600 of cards left at $13.99. 50+ ps3 controllers however. As I was walking in someone walked out with a wiifit. Music & videos 30% off. Changing the signs as I walk around to the new prices.

30% off games in St. Louis. Still only 20% off rock band/guitar hero gear. Didn't see any consoles or points cards of any kind at the South County store. Games are limited to mostly old titles. There are a few newer titles, but the place looks like it's been picked over pretty well. Good hunting!

[karkyco]

So has anyone gotten any more of those crazy YMMV deals by trying to get the CSR's to lower the price even further? I.e., asking them if they could possibly give you a game for say, $5 or $10?

Although anything remotely good was no doubt moved out by the liquidators (never available - perhaps sold to other retailers, corporate buyers, or people/companies with hookups/connections) or "bought" (more likely stolen) by the workers.

[richdmoore]

update to my last post. They have 20 wii fits behind the counter. Tigard,or

[mrandradej]

Anyone know the prices in areas around New Jersey?

Just a note if there is something you are looking for, DO ask. I had to ask for Wii Fits. They thought they were out...but had 20 more in the back.

30% off games and accessories in Reading, Pa.

20% off consoles (only ones I saw were PSPs and 360 Elites)

That news report way earlier in this thread about how liquidators handle these sales was spot on. My CC has a ton of crappy looking third-party accessory kits that CC never carried before the liquidation.
