Have you all looked at their website lately? It says " We're updating our site with new products and special offers. Please come back in a few minutes."

I went in a few stores when the initial phase of stores closing and the deals werent that great, hopefully they are better now since they will be liquidating company wide.

I have a gift card to use!

Watch out for fake liquidation sales, they like to raise the price and then mark it down.

Crap do I have to start shopping at Worst Buy again, damn been Best Buy free for 2 years now.

Actually, Blockbuster pulled out long before they filed bankruptcy in November. Thank the idiots at Bank of America for wasting bailout money to keep the remaining CC stores alive during the holidays after they already filed.

The one thing I find funny (not saying lost jobs is funny in the least bit) is that the companies going down are the ones I never shopped at anyway.

In my experience the sales are usually not that good. Remember they still need to pay the past bills.

Ya, especially when it gets handed over to a liquidator and Circuit City has no say in anything. The liquidators run the show. You can ignore this little bit once they take over:

Quote:
Yes, customers holding Circuit City gift cards may redeem them at full value at our stores during the liquidation sales. Once the stores are closed and the company is out of business, the gift cards will have no value.
"Stores are closed and the company is out of business" means when they hand it over to the liquidator, not once the store is completely empty.
