Circuit City gift cards

If you have a card and can't use it before they close up shop, you can always get in line with CC's other creditors...

FWIW, when our local CC shop closed, their inventory was turned over to a liquidation company, and a lot (maybe most) of their "super-low discounted close-out going-out-of-business we-really-mean-it sale" prices on open-box items were no better, and often higher, than Best Buy's everyday NIB prices, so if you do shop, watch out. Caveat emptor, indeed...
 
Thats what there doing now, using a liquidation company.

I might go look around but will be surprised if I see any real low prices.
 
They dont. Its a ripoff. I know a Guy at the local CC and last night in the store he told me the liquidation company raised ALL the prices to inflated MSRP's then they will be doing 10-20% off which is then regular price, then they will slash accordingly as time goes on.

I don't know about the other stores, but an acquaintance in AZ told me that the company handling the CC store liquidations there was the same one that handled the notorious CompUSA liquidation--and the results were pretty much the same.
 
That's possible, since they've said their stores in Canadia aren't going to be affected, but they'll have to get a lot more competitive on their prices if they go all-online.

From the article:
Are liquidation sales good places to find bargains?
No. Most of the time the liquidator raises all the prices back to their original number and starts marking down from there, with the markdowns getting steeper week by week. He's still allowed to make big signs that scream 50% OFF!!!! even though that price at the time might be the same or even higher than the price before the liquidation. By the time prices actually get below what they were pre-liquidation, most of the inventory has been picked pretty clean. Except for the most dedicated bargain sleuths, liquidation sales are a ripoff.

..so if we wait a couple months- THEN...there might be some big savings on the stuff no one wanted.

I'm glad I'd didn't buy the extended Circuit City warranty plan with my last CC buy.
