I haven't bought anything from CC in 10 year and reading that I won't step foot in one ever again.
I can find it cheaper and faster online anyways. Less gas wasted...LOL

Number 25 was just a big deal here locally a few months back. I have not set foot in CC since.
25. Circuit City has laid off over 4 thousand employees recently to hire cheaper workers. They fired associates who were highly ranked in sales and service, and paid well for that reason.

But that is really no different than a software company laying off 1000 workers and hiring 1000 workers in India.

Purchased: Toshiba $2000 Laptop in Dec, 06 for Christmas present, CircuitCity.com.
Rebate:$150 mail in.
Received rebate in late May 07, after they "misplaced" it and I raised hell. Good thing I kept a full set of copies.
Keep copies, don't buy from Circuit City.
Lesson learned.

My sister got a MD player/recorder from Crooked City. When she opened the box, something wasn't right. Ended up, someone got a new one, put the old one in the box and returned it.
When she went to complain at the store, they called the police on her. She was escorted out of the store.
Called the CC company and the problem was resolved very quickly.
When I walk into the store, I make them a one time offer and if they say no, I leave. I try to avoid Crooked City whenever I can and they actually made it easier than
HH Gregg is great at dealing. I told them I was buying a DVD Camera for my honeymoon. (I wasn't lying) I told him to give me a deal. "How about a free camera bag". That will work. How about $50.00 off the price too?. His response, "How about $30.00?" No problem. Now double that and we have a deal.
I walked out with the camera, the "free" camera bag, $60.00 off, and a 3 pack of double sided mini-DVD's for only $5.00. (Just to clairfy, the $5.00 was not the cost of everything, but the cost of the DVD's to seal a deal that was already sealed)

Busted Buy is no better. I do nearly all my purchases of equipment online now.

PC RICHARDS is also the same. You can haggle the prices with the salesperson. It's basically like going to Canal Street China Town and fighting with Uncle Steve's Electronic shops because the price is different if you don't buy now.

Th eonly thing I have bought at CC in the last 3 years are blank DVD's when on sale. Now I remember why I made that a rule.
