ok,
you guys are being really childish
rumors don't mean  :censored:
also, before they were in chapter 11
so basically before, they were on the edge of bankruptcy
they strived to make it out, but unfortunately closing over 200 of their retailers did not help them as much as it could have
so if you "heard" about this in november doesnt mean they will ABSOLUTLY become bankrupt

also,
I am not "old", oldis not 1 day now if i was sad that Hechts went out of buisness, than I would be old

Are you also shutting down your operations in Canada?

    * No, our Canadian operations will continue.  They are not affected by the liquidation of Circuit City's U.S. operations.  The Canadian operations employ approximately 3,000 associates.

Dude, CALM THE :censored: DOWN.

Circuit city didn't really have good computer parts. Well they did, but not really cheap.
Doesn't effect me, I don't shop there :3

 :cry2: man i havnt been this sad by a store closing since AMES went out of business :boxed: lol j/k but seriously back before the late 90's and early 2000s Circuit City use to pay there staff through commission, ever since they changed it to minimum wage the place has nose dived.  You used to be able to go there and talk to someone who gave a sweet crap about what you wanted to buy, now both Circuit City and Best Buy imo have sealed there fate by ruining customer service where people need it the most.

I used to know people pulling down $70k-$90k/yr that worked at circuit city as floor sales.  They were good too, I always remember one guy telling me about selling $40k entertainment systems and whatnot fairly regularly.  Too bad that corporate greed got in the way good sound business ethics and tactics.

Oh ya, btw, these greedy corporate people that I speak of, well for the most part they are the same ones running our governments.  So go ahead and thank them for why the world has gone to hell in a handbasket. :nono: :sadno:
