I was amazed at Circuit City......

I had the same experience. I fought for a parking spot and crazy crowds for a chance at 10-20% off their regular prices. I couldn't understand why there was such a long line at the checkout.

I forgot to mention, some TV stands were 30% off.
I think I now covered it all.

I agree completely! No warranty, no buy as far as I'm concerned!

I read an article on Yahoo a few days ago that said buyer beware. CC raised their prices a little bit so people think they are getting a deal at 30% but really are not.

Makes total sense.

People think they are getting a deal, so they don't pay attention to prices- just the "sale" banners everywhere.

I saw the same phenomenon, there were a few good deals but "all sales final" on electronics, highly risky when it's not a more significant discount. And the line was the length of the store and started to curl around it! Crazy!

Yupper.

Heck better to sneak in any last dollars before shutting down.

I walked in and took a look, was out of the store within 5 minutes. I can get much better prices online within minutes that includes free shipping and no sales tax.

RIP Circuit City.
