[...] The Last Will and Testament of Circuit CityFor Circuit City, it passed for good news: On Friday, … I am glad Circuit Cirt is gone. I couldn’t shop there because they had LOUD, BLARING MUSIC which they refused to turn down. I even called their main office. They had no concern for customer satisfaction and did not deserve to remain in business. [...]

I too grin over the demise of Circuit City. I purchased my first computor from them and was cohurst and tricked into a “extended warrenty” after repeatedly saying no. And when I did have a problem they had no repair people on staff and sent it to Kansas City for 3 weeks. When it came back they said that they would not work on it as it had additional programs that were not originally on that unit! I also got very angry and loud. Was told to quiet down but made sure everyone around knew how I had been treated. I had several repair taken care of at Staples in house repair quickly and reasonably. I never returned to Circuit City but took every advantage to inform anyone who would listen how I was treated. So I don’t belive it is the economy that got Ciruict City, they just finally got what they diserved!!!

Oh, by the way, maybe they should use those cleaning supplies and toilet paper to clean up their act before they go to the next job. IF there is one.

Well they say “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings”! This refers to an old term for the finish of an Opera.
I was one of the “Attende’s” at the final days of Circuit City. My comment? NO GREAT DEALS unless you knew what you were buying and looked closely for missing parts and opened packages.
I did find some deals. Kaspersky software for 10 bucks, APC 550VA UPS’s for 14 bucks, a digital picture frame for 10 bucks and some 10 AMP power cords for 25 cents each. Otherwise? Nothing!
What the public didn’t know is that just before the “Fire Sale” employees were directed to mark up the already discounted pricing of items to full list. Then mark them down to the 50, 40, 25 or whatever discount price. I think that is called creative theft. That’s all I have to say. I guess Office Depot will be the next to fall. Stock at $1.01 doesn’t mean a healthy chain.

The pictures are OK for me. I didn’t want to frame them anyway. The words are what count.

I went to my local CC about 3 days before the closiongs. I found to XM radios for 70% off. Since I wanted to replace the old ones (screens were getting hsrd to read) I snatched them up. Bout=ght both for $60. Other than that, there wasn’t much left to pick over.

I for one am not sorry to see them go. I once purchased a new computer from them. When I got it home and plugged it in it was dead. When I called the store they told me to mail it out for repair under the warranty. I told them it was purchased 20 minutes ago and was being returned for an exchange. They gave me a hard time for about 2 minutes when I got back there. I started getting loud enough for other prospective customers to hear me and they changed their mind and replaced it. I did not return to their store til their “Going out of Business Sale”. That was a joke and I left empty handed. A friend bought a 500GB external hard drive for $112.00 thinking it a great buy. It was on sale at Staples and Wal-Mart for $99.00. When she got it home she found it didn’t work. She had to send it back to the manufacturer to get a replacement because Circuit City was not giving exchanges for defective items. She should have gone elsewhere. The loss of jobs is the ONLY sad thing to come from their closing.

Unfortunately, The City, a Circuit City branch on Hato Rey, PR, might be also affected, even if they’re doing the independent way
