Circuit City SCORES

[Brian]

Anybody hit up Circuit CIty for some good deals on shit?


I got a camera bag and a couple DVDs.

Was really considering a TomTom and a double DIN.... had them yesterday. Just hit the 50% off mark.
Went around to a couple stores today.... then end of the day I went back to my local one. everything GONE. no more double DINs or TomToms.

bummage.

[kevmeistah21]

i got starcraft for $4.99!

[ThatGuy]

I thought about it, until I realized their 40% off price on an LCD TV was the same as the list price of the same TV at Best Buy across the street, and $200 higher then the price I found on Amazon.

Not such a deal. No wonder they went under.

[iwknowledge]

i got starcraft for $4.99!

cant beat that!

[Brian]

yeah, many of the things they just bumped up the price, but some stuff was still good.

got some good DVDs... $3 and whatnot.

Video camera bag for $10.


was gonna score the navigation for $100 and the Double DIN for like $250


oh well.

[amdnivram]

how much are is the tom tom?

[Brian]

depends.
I went to a store this morning that had them for 100

went to another store that had none
went to anotehr that had none

then went to the first store again and they sold out.


They had different models.

they are 50% off.

anywhere between 100 and 200 is what i saw.

[flclsteve]

how much are is the tom tom?
best buy has the same tom tom 100 bucks

[Brian]

I noticed at least 3 different TomToms for sale at Circuit City.....

[s14kings]

Anyone know if they have any flat screen monitors left?

[iwishiwas-all*]

double din tomorrow hahaha

[Matej]

At the closing sale I scored an awesome deal on a Red Bull Hyundai Genesis.

[articdragon192]

What double DIN Brian?

[hunter8411]

Like ThatGuy said, Circuit raised all the prices on their products so that when they were marked down 50% they would still make money off them. Although you can still find some awesome deals, but mainly on accessory items not on big ticket items though.

The wife and I went there a little while ago to check out the DSLR, but their "Sales" price was higher than retail at BBY. I would suggest double checking prices before buying anything.

[LongGrain]

picked up rock band 2 for $150, not a super deal or anything, but saved about $30

[lyrical struggle]

Copped season two and three of the wire for $60 total. I can sleep a little easier now.

[ryguy]

I picked up some Panasonic 4x6s for my doors. 50 bucks plus shipping at Crutchfield, got em for under 25.

[punk138]

my friend bought a xbox 360 for 230.

he said he saved like 50 bucks.

[ZX88]

hahah circuit shitty. walked into a closing store looked at the prices then laugh and walk out. not really any good deals. cameras and camcoreders where still 100 to 200 more than the price you could get them online.

[druthafoo]

They hire liquidators to do the final selling and they dont really mark down shit. They make it seem like they are 25% below MSRP or whatever and that price is the same as if CC wasnt liquidating.. its all marketing hype and shopper stupidity.

That's not to say that little items like DVDs and CDs arent at good prices tho.

[Pank]

heyohhhh



CompUSA's liquidation had WAY better deals.

[ryguy]

Im pretty sure the car audio deals are decent because they arent offering installation any longer.

[Brian]

I didn't go there to buy a $3000 TV that was marked down to $2980.

Buying CDs for $6 or DVDs for the $10 is good.

I guess a lot of people were going there expecting to buy huge lavish things and (as always) live beyond their means.

[raz0rbladez909]

picked up an xbox 360 elite for $320 effin awesome

[ro240sx]

I went to look for a headunit but they had bad selection and bad prices.

Or y'know....get good deals on shit that they were gonna buy.

[Brian]

or buy 50 inch TVs when they have 8 ugly kids that I probably pay for...

[MrSackles]

i went there today... they didnt have shit in the audio section... they didnt have shit period... tv's were still on the buck list.... we'll see how low shit gets when its their last days... they had a shitload of guitar hero tho haha

[Z_Spool]

Swung by today and picked up a new box for my subs. Much lighter and smaller than my old one. Now my car goes bump again and has trunk space, all for $24. A two-10" box for well less than I was getting quoted for a single-10" box at stereo shops. :)

[Brian]

I noticed a shit ton of

Guitar Hero
Blank CDs / DVDs
Hancock DVDs
IRON MAN DVDs

[IIIXziuR]

better stock up on them Hancock DVDs guys

[wannas13]

As a soon to be unemployed Circuit City employee i will tell you that the liquidator took everything back up to msrp then they discount it as they feel. no CC employees have any effect on pricing but they usually go downevery week so keep looking. Some peoplein my store (customers) are just assholes, i had aguy tell me he bought the same ipod at christmas for less so i told him to quit bitchin about $5. he continued to bitch until i told him to get out and he said to make him. as i went to take my jacket off my delivery driver (6' 4" 250lbs big guy) stood up and the guy left. apparently it was my fault apple said not to discountthem more than 10%

[S14DB]

I went in and cussed out the liquidator in front of the employees. She came up to me and was like "Can I help you?" I say sure. Then she goes and points to 3 different employees by her and goes "Well, these guys can help you." I went from 0 to pissed off in 3 seconds. Why did you ask me if you could help me if you couldn't help me? "Well I'm the liquidator and I have things to do." You aren't doing shit. You've been standing their for the whole time I have been in here. I was asking an employee for help till you decided to chew him out right in front of me and put on you drama show. Best Buy still has better prices.

Then she went back to pouting in the corner.

[LongGrain]

some of the shit is SUPER exensive.

they had a hard drive for like $290 apparently marked down, we jumped on one of the computers with internet to check the price online and it was $100 for the SAME one,

[Brian]

It's rough and tough.

Why would the employees be nice?
They don't have to. Are they going to get FIRED?


At any rate, seems that most of the stores are pretty cleaned out by now.

I'm pumped on my $3 DVD of STRIPES.

[ilia]

The other nice thing about Circuit City is their love for drifting. They sponsor this really cool Genesis car I think.

[CrimsonRockett]

Got two DVD's for $20 bucks.

Walk Hard and I Am Legend.

Both special editions or w/e.

Not bad considering they go for $25/each(on average).

[stiizy]

I went yesterday and they had a shit load of Guitar Hero Guitars

I bought 2 for the Wii they were only 13 dollars a piece and bought so dvd's for 4 dollars each also got the Wii Fit yoga mat for my girl for 6 bucks and a few 16gb flash drives for 13 bucks....

they had a lot of shit just not shit i was looking for ....

Mad huge Tv's for like 1050...

I saw a 52 ince Samsung for 1000.00 but didnt cop it...

i say hit them up while you still can!!

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

I grabbed this guy for $419

[Phlip]

I went to the local one Saturday, it has been picked over, nothing left but overpriced televisions, Carlos Mencia DVDs and blank DVDs that can be had at Staples across the street for less.

I won't be bothering going back.

[stiizy]

I did hear the workers saying that the prices will get jacked up 10% today..

[enkei2k]

fuck circuit city, they still owe me a $50 dollar rebate from Black Friday 2008 that I haven't received yet. This is what they said:

DEAR CIRCUIT CITY CUSTOMER,

If you are inquiring on the status of your Circuit City mail-in rebate, at this time we are unable to provide a status
update as to your particular rebate submittal. It is our intent to provide further instructions as soon as they become available. Please visit Breaking News (http://investor.circuitcity.com/announcement.cfm) for the most current information. We appreciate your patience as we work through this difficult situation.

i know this probably isn't the right place, but anything i can do ?? i know i know, $50 bucks seems little, but today's economy, every little bit counts. I called and get this exact same recording.

[stiizy]

^^ You're fucked bro you aint getting that shit back from they broke asses

[Flicktitty]

i got new speakers for the coupe (front/back)
got speaker wiring for the coupe as well.
uhm was gonna get a video camera but i need to get the car done 1st.

[Brian]

Good deals were had by those that knew what to look for.

People looking for 90 inch TVs to fit in their dorm room probably didn't do so hot.

Thread lock.
Peace out Circuit City.... where service is state of the art.
