    I prefer Circuit City to Best Buy . Too many people at Best Buy out to rip you off . Never let the Geek Squad touch a new computer . Better yet , buy your computer elsewhere .

    I want to buy a big LCD TV, saw the news about Circuit City so went to their website looking for a bargain. Found none.

    Its gonna get worse before it gets better. About the only business I would feel secure in owning right now would be a grocery store. And even that is iffy! (if "iffy" is not a word, then pick one that means the same thing and pretend that I put it in instead of "iffy".)

    I prefer Circuit city as well.

    I can't hear myself talk at Best Buy, way to loud.
    They are not as helpful as the other store.

    We had a local grocery chain with 4 stores go out of business . They had been in business for years and a couple of the stores were in neighborhoods convenient to older residents . Then look at the tough times Winn Dixie had .
    (When I was living in FL several years ago my son and DIL came from MA to visit for a while . They went out one day and left me a note . "We went to Winnie Dix to pick up our photos " :biggrin_2551: )

    Breaking News: Circuit City has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. I can't find a link yet. If someone finds one, please post it. Thanks.

    They closed 2 stores in Houston. The one by us, they had just opened 2 weeks before closing. Their closing sale was a big joke as you could go online and then to the store and the store was alot higher. My neighbor wanted to buy a large flatscreen tv. He went online and then to the store and the store was $400 higher.:biggrin_2555:
