L&T was mostly overpriced crap anyway. I went in a few months ago looking for new sheets and the prices were outrageous. I managed to get a full set online for about half of what I'd have paid L&T. I recall looking at glassware at the same time and thinking it was way overpriced, too. I don't recall specifics but it was definitly more than the 8 piece drinking tumblers we bought at Target for $20 instead.
...
I just did a post about housewares. Fuck I'm old and married.

LOL you and me both. I just bought a house though in Sept here in Louisville, and after leaving a NYC 1.5 bedroom apt in Manhattan for a 5 bedroom house we are having to buy LOTS of shit. Fuck I think filling this damn house is going to cost more than buying it. We heard about the L&T sale and were hopefull...but as I said above ultimately it was a let down. You are going out of business and the best you can do is 10% off? Orly? |

Our local Best Buy is really not much better than our local Circuit City: they both suck donkey cock when it comes to anything resembling customer service, though the CC is slightly worse. I was toying with picking up an unusually well-priced Sony laptop at BB the other day and for 45 minutes I could not get the attention of a single sales clerk long enough to buy the damned thing.

Next week they have Valkyria Chronicles for the PS3 for $44.99.  I was toying with picking up an unusually well-priced Sony laptop at BB the other day and for 45 minutes I could not get the attention of a single sales clerk long enough to buy the damned thing. Circuit City employs douchebag morons, but when they worked on commission, getting left alone was hard. It's not shocking they're going out of business. They've always been overpriced, like Suncoast. Best Buy employs douchebag morons trained with a culture of not making commission. Why the fuck should a salesperson help you? |

As far as Circuit City's fire sale prices, hopefully its better than whats happening at Linen's and Things. The ONLY reason I am sad L&T is going out of business is that I can no longer lovingly refer to it by the pet name of Sheets 'n Shit. I do love all the "EVERYTHING MUST GO!" sales that mark things down... 10%. And no coupons, no specials, no returns, nothing. Great. So in the end they have a bunch of leftover merchandise no one wants that they refuse to sell! Firewood? |

NPR reported that Circuit City is filing for bankruptcy. They had hoped to last until the holiday season, but have taken some severe losses over the past 6 quarters. Link here. |

Circuit City can suck it.
Best Buy too.
However, if you take away Fry's, I'll cry.

CC closing near me has 20% off shit I don't want, 10% off games/music, 5% off game systems. No returns, even if defective. There's still three stores open in town, so I'd wager we won't get awesome sales, they'll just shift inventory to the bigger stores. Stupid sale. $10 off an Xbox 360? And I can't return it if its defective out of box? what a deal.

So that puts their prices on par with their competitors now… |

The PC software is still overpriced. NWN2, still $40 at CC, $25 at the Target across the street. Suns of Solar Empire is still $40 too, lots of shitty pricies for a liquidation. |

I'm not going to relate the story about getting a car stereo installed at Service Shitty. I was reamed. Royally.
