I bought a head set for ventrilo usage there this past summer, it was the last time I set foot in a Circuit City. Most people go to Best Buy, I guess. Personally, I liked having more options. Oh well. Sayonara, au Revoir, adios,adeus, valete, auf wiedersehen, arrivederci and shalom. |

I seen this coming when their shares were too low. I feel bad for them though. It makes me wonder if Best buy will go up on prices since there is no competition. I do remember it was either Circuit City or Best Buy that would match or out do their competitor's price if you notified them you found it cheaper at the other store.
On a side note, with CC being gone, I always wondered how radio shack survived all these years. |

On a side note, with CC being gone, I always wondered how radio shack survived all these years. I feel bad for them as well. I like Best Buy, to an extent, but several of their items are by far, overpriced. I hate the idea of monopoly and while there are other stores out there that offer similar products, there isn't a lot of electronic centric stores anymore. Since I share an Amazon Prime account (many items are 2 day free shipping), I'm more and more buying things online, including larger items. I just refuse to buy something overpriced because of convenience or the lack of electronic centric stores. Radio Shack has always perplexed me. |
