I just stopped by tonight and they seemed wiped out of everything. Still some TV's and computer moniters, music CD's and DVD'ds but no good selections. None of the electronics seemed like a good deal at all.

Buyer beware, I read an article about people buying TV's form circuit city only to get home and find the screen in pieces or the unti not working. Circuit City will not take anything back under any circuimstances according to the article and on top of all that you credit card protection plans wont do anything wither becasue the company is in bankrupcy. Not worth the 50 dollar savings to buy from them if you ask me. Of course, I have hated that store since its inceptions so I guess that falls in line with all my experiences.

RIP Circuit City

it still amazes me that they built that entirely new store and only lasted about 6 months.

I think many of us predicted their demise - it was incredibly stupid to put that biz right next to Costco and within eye sight of Best Buy - d'oh

About 2 weeks ago I found good deals on a Rescue Me seasons 1-4 set and a few other titles but nothing else in the store appealed to me. I mean 25% off a video card that was jacked up to full MSRP but selling now months or years after release for half the price at BB or Fry's.

@Ram_It! - i read that too on Gizmodo about buying TVs. Can't open\inspect boxes until paid for and then no returns\all sales final. I would hope a buyer would win disputing the charge with a credit card company but as you pointed out...better to buy it at Costco or elsewhere.

Show returns in April. Definitely for adult audiences (language, adult drama) but a great show. I can loan Season One to you after next week and until you are caught up. PM me if interested.

Hey does anyone know if they are selling any of their displays, inside lights, or register desks? I haven't had the time to swing by yet. I wouldn't mind picking up a nice florescent light fixture for my garage.

I saw something about them selling their fixtures. "30% off tv's and great deals on store fixtures" or something like that.

I looked at a bunch of the stuff they were selling over at Linens and things, shelves and coat racks and whatnot. Didnt seem like they were giving anything away. Usually things attached to the building with electricity, plumbing or lots of nails is considered part of the building and not something for sale. So the lighting might end up staying.

When I was in there two weeks ago, they had signs to contact manager for pricing on displays, racks and other things. Nothing I needed.

Before LnT closed, I picked up some nice hanging rods, angle iron\bars and hooks (nice sturdy, long ones) for the garage.

Interesting enough... Ms Teaz cleared out of her store front in a hurry too a couple months ago. Word is that there are a huge trail of unpaid funds to the government and others, yet it appears she's reappeared in another state. Do Look at these!

Heard of rug stores who do this too. Close with debt then move to another state under another name or other family's assumed names. WOW! Happened in our own town. Hope there's no one who get's suckered into this scam.

Didn't this lady come on here a while ago wanting help with a business website and criticizing some local company fir not holding their part of the bargain. Maybe she was the problem the whole time.
