Hundreds of thousands of empty square feet, at a minimum. <BR/><BR/>That empty retail space will NOT be filled in the foreseeable future. Now think about the enormous parking lots around every Circuit City.

People will think that they are getting good deals because of "xx% off", but they jack up the prices to give the illusion of a deal.<BR/><BR/>The worst part is that many people fall for it so all the good stuff is gone before the items are a good price.<BR/><BR/>When CompUSA was liquidating, I went several times and saw inventory shrink. I left empty handed most of the time, but I got a few okay deals once they hit the 50%+ off retail. Be sure it is not 50% off their price. Nothing stellar.Out at the peakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855394670202295976noreply@blogger.com
