Circuit City fails to be wanted, will now be liquidated


Recommended Posts

thanks for posting that website :) some funny things

Employee: ?I?m sorry sir, but your phone has water damage, which isn?t covered by the warranty. You will have to purchase a new phone.?

Customer: ?That?s ridiculous! I haven?t gotten the phone wet!?

Employee: ?Have you used the phone in the rain? Sometimes, that?s all it takes to get the internals wet enough to damage the device.?

Customer: ?Well, yes, but that doesn?t make any sense! Cows are in the rain all the time and they don?t die!?

Employee: ???

Me: *interjecting* ?Sir, cows aren?t electronic devices.?

Customer: *storms out*

gotta wonder if its real?

(sorry this is off topic)

Wow, that is such crap. I didn't know stores marked up prices during liquidation. I hope everyone watches that video before going down to circuit city to see all the prices jacked up

yeah but its a bit harder to do that with electronics cause generally if your going to buy something you know the price

+ its impossible to get away with it with new games since there always 60 or 50

or not never mind

but still games its harder to do that with

It isn't the store. In reality, Circuit City is already out of business, and there are liquidation companies doing the sales.

Circuit City was a terrible store and all my experiences there were bad. I just feel bad for all those people who lost their jobs.

i feel bad for them too but what can you do ya know ? 30,000+ more to add to the unemployment line i guess !

I feel sorry for all the novice computer and TV users who are about to be raped by Best Buy in the services department, because now they pretty much have a nationwide monolopy on it. I lol at the people who complained about our diagnostic being $70, because after Best Buy gets finished with them they're going to wish they only had to spend $70.

Unless Walmart gets into the services industry quickly I expect Best Buy to make alot of money this year.

and for those who still hadn't realized it by now, for the first month the liquidator managers and all the employees are basically going to say screw you. If you come in their and mention any kind of price deal, you're not getting it. I don't care if a laptop has a busted screen you're not going to get it. during the last 2-3 weeks of the sales that's when the liquidators are more likely to get deals if you buy alot. So if you said i'll buy these 3 tv's here what can you do for me, they'll be likely to help you out, but if you're like I want this one TV and $100 off help me out, they're not doing anything. Just because they are going out of business doesn't mean they have to give this stuff away from free and that's what alot of you seem to think. They can send defective items back to the vendor for credit before they give it away to you.

yes, agree with the above. there's a lot of people out there, and here it seems, that are like vultures, hovering over the carcass looking for a free meal. come on, a fixture in the retail landscape is going bust, an icon. like them or not, Circuit City have been a part of the psyche, you can't just sum it all up with "ooh where's the deals".

    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
