But wait, there's more!

Pour one out for Hastings I guess.

Looks like all stores will be closing by 10/31 if not earlier. So you guys still have some time and maybe discounts will drop further.

I think I've seen them on Amazon Marketplace or eBay, or maybe abebooks or alibris. Is their main website any different than any of the above? If they're just one of those mass resellers that makes money off sheer volume who shoves shit in a barely padded envelope like Hastings, I'm probably...

Welp, it's been an interesting ride. I guess it's basically down to eBay and Amazon Marketplace for used books online.

http://amarillo.com/news/latest-news/2016-07-12/hastings-entertainment-will-be-put-auction-july-20 I think that's just confirming what we already knew days ago. Could CAG raise the money to buy Hastings over the weekend? :-({|=

I don't think that's how it works. This is just standard Hasting fucking up.

That's a much better article. Thanks.

Also, here's this article: http://amarillo.com/news/latest-news/2016-06-29/hastings-president-everything-table I guess the July 13th date that they are honoring gift cards through is also their last guaranteed day of operations. If they don't find a buyer in the next 10 days they could shut...

No, that's how their shipping has always been. I've bitched about it for years. I've had multiple conversations with one of their only employees who would engage the internet. The company just has no interest in shipping things any better than that and they never have. I have/had pictures that...

I'm actually curious as to why you think they'll have any online focus. I think the exact opposite: online is going to be the first thing they shut down. The only reason Hastings exists is to provide these products in small regional areas that often aren't served by a Best Buy or a comic book...

Looks like they're having some huge blowouts in store according to the emails I'm getting. More or less seems like a liquidation without actually being one. No signs of it carrying over online, which again, isn't surprising considering they're not going to waste too much manpower and time...

This Chapter 11 bankruptcy isn't necessarily the end - they're still searching for a buyer. But if no one wants to come in and take on those debts, even if the debts are restructured, then we can put the final nail in the coffin.

Wow, I'm surprised this thread still exists. All in all, it's been a slow death for this company. Maybe we're finally at the end of the road. Not that I relish in people losing their jobs, but the company had this coming under both Marmaduke and the new management. I've never been to a store...
