In fact, here in DFW the Grapevine store just pasted the new stickers over the old ones, so in some cases you could see the new sitcker peeling up and the original price.

When it comes to liquidations, buyer beware.

Agree 100%. Liquidations are a total waste of time. They are done by 3rd parties who mark up the items significantly before offering 30-50% discounts. I'll bet the everyday prices at Amazon are better than the Circuit City liquidation prices.

i am not sure if you can get a refund on your service plan but your plan is still good for the entire time that you purchased it for because all service plans are insured through GE. you will get a notice in the mail most likely within a few weeks on how to redeem your coverage should you need to.

I purchased an extended warranty (Circuit City Advantage Plan). Will that still be honored?

i work..er..worked for the company and ive been asked the question 12394003983021340 times. no hard feelings.

It's good to know there will at least be some sort of safety net on those extended warranty/service plans. I added one for my 52" Sony Bravia XBR4 when I bought the HDTV about this time last year.

oo.. my fault.. sorry about the job..

[austin126]

im not sticking around for the liquidation. having helped out with a liquidation at another local store a few months ago, i can not put myself through that. these liquidations brings out the worst in people because they come in there and want to rub it in your face about all the "bad decisions" that were made in the company how we deserve to be closing. they demand more and more money off of everything and it feels like youre surrounded by a pack of wolves. it really is sickening.

please, anyone going to these sales, be consciensous of the employees. 30,000 are losing their jobs. im one of them and it will be a struggle. at least ill have blu ray to keep me occupied for a while.

Very sorry to hear about the job, Austina...

there is circuit city about 3 minutes from my work and I'm leaving work in a few hours so would it be too soon to stop in today and see if they have shit on sale? or should I wait a week.

I'm asking because I'm lazy and I have lunch with my wife every friday so she'll come and pick me up around 12:30 or so

Yeah, one nice use of my blackberry - as the wife was going through Linens and Things, I was looking up prices on amazon on my browser.

I'll probably do the same thing at CC and at least take a look. Though since I'm not looking for big ticket electronics, I can probably just eyeball the PS3s, PSPs, BDs, and software from memory. (Though if I could get an Onkyo 605/606 for cheap.... who am I kidding - wife'll kill me)

Im glad Macys is closing. Stupid overpriced crappy clothing store...ugh..

I will be depending on this site to keep everyone posted on supposed deals!! Funny, a few people at work were talking about getting new HD sets/blu-ray players/receivers, etc, and I mentioned the same thing. If you don't know the going sales price for a particular player, you could easily overpay.

One question for anyone who has dealt with these liquidators before: will they have nationwide pricing or will it vary by store?

[FIDDYPOP]

If CC does start to close, I say we dont shop right away. Prices only get lower if people wait. Why purchase at %10 off, when it will go to %20-30?

When Sun went out fo business years ago i couldn't get my stereo fixed with the warranty they sold me. I could find no info on how to track anyone down or how to ge the stereo fixed.

Since then i have never bought an in store warranty.

The only thing to consider on that basis may be the selection may become more limited if someone decides to wait.

My brother closed the Manassas store and didnt get a dime but a bonus incentive from the liquidator for staying onboard

Montgomery Wards I believe, just closed without being forced to liquidate by a court, big difference

MW had been through bankruptcy twice...... they weren't exactly swimming in cash either. We got 2 weeks pay for every year of service.
