In the end, I ended up getting a video game (Little Big Planet for 10% off, which is cheaper than I can get it on Amazon [new], which was a deal for me, since I was planning on buying it for Gavin anyway) and some stuff to clean my laptop screen, which is what I have been intending on doing a number of months now but just hadn't gotten around to it. The rest of the stuff in the store was not a good deal. Gavin recently bought a Sony TV through Dell for just over $1000, I think, and it was WAY more at Circuit City.JennySmithhttp://jennysmith.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-23224544449946461902009-01-19T13:37:57.000-08:002009-01-19T13:37:57.000-08:00How they rang things up is actually pretty normal ...How they rang things up is actually pretty normal I bet for a liquidation. You have to understand how liquidations work. What they are selling is not what was necessarily what was in the store to begin with. Liquidators often bring in merchandise from other locations to sell in the "sale". They empty all the inventory in the store. Then, everything is scanned in to put it in inventory since it may not be from that store in the first place.terrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-60773298472248829542009-01-19T12:18:56.000-08:002009-01-19T12:18:56.000-08:00I too was disappointed by the sales.I too was disappointed by the sales.Kirahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-11726799158925864662009-01-18T13:14:44.000-08:002009-01-18T13:14:44.000-08:00Yes, I think you found the one thing that might be...Yes, I think you found the one thing that might be a good deal at Circuit City. Games which are normally full price no matter where you buy them. Everything else, not really worth it. You might find a good bargain here and there, but nothing that is a screaming bargain. Things like that, the liquidators just move to other stores where they can get better prices on them.terrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-55579404054691274422009-01-21T04:44:12.000-08:002009-01-21T04:44:12.000-08:00I got some DVDs.I got some DVDs.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-38279105220068665462009-01-18T22:25:02.000-08:002009-01-18T22:25:02.000-08:00K & I also went.

To top it off, most of the better TVs were already out of stock at that location. We did find a couple things that were good prices. What amazed me is how they had to ring up purchases. They had to scan it all to add it, scan it all to remove it, and then scan it all back in and modify the prices manually. So this basically tripled the workload for some understaffed cashiers. In the end, I'm glad we went (and early), but the reality is we're going to do a lot more serious shopping for our planned purchases.Mikenoreply@blogger.com
