What concerns me is where are you supposed to go when your in need of some really nice home audio & video equipment. Nevermind someone that is actually smart. Its really sad that in 5-10 years your EXPERTS will be Wal-mart & Costco. Just makes me sick. I think all these vendors need to be smart like Bose, Sony ES, Martin Logan, and other vendors which protects its price from these cheap discount chains that are ruining everything, including the market.

So this floods the market place with over a billion dollars worth the inventory at a traditionally slow time of the year. Other retailers should see a dent in their business for the next quarter. If you are a business on the edge this could push you over as CC takes people out of the market.

Listen to what Sarcasm says. Dont just listen to the liquidators, get something in writing. Payment on a daily basis, SOMETHING !! Otherwise you will get the bone.
Do feel sorry about the real customers but for those people who are "tire kickers" and waist your time. Have fun going to Costco and watching your HD tv on a channel that isnt. Ha Ha.
When your tv breaks and you threw away the box and you have to ship it to CA to get fixed. Ouch..
Wrong product at the right price is still the wrong product....

HHGregg seems poised to quickly take over Circuit City's as the #2 CE retailer in the country. I wouldn't be surprised to see them expand east into New York and New England and fill some of the vacated locations with in a year to 18 Months. Many of the Boston area Circuit City stores were very profitable in comparison to the rest of the country. I could definitely foresee some of the Circuit City investors (Salina Plegio) putting up some capital to help HHGregg expand. Competition is good for the industry and for the consumer.

Also, Home Depot and Lowes may get into the HE realm now that CC is out of the picture (Home Depot already has test stores with full HE sections staffed by a 3rd party).

It would make sense for one of these chains to buy the Circuit City name and create a Circuit City inside a Lowes or Home Depot

As a former 10yr Ultimate employee. Im glad this is happening, now all cheapo idiots who think its funny to waste 2 hours of a highly skilled employees time to save a few buck from whoever.com cant go to local stores anymore to see the goods before buying it.

This Fire sale will eventually hurt best buy also. Big stores like BB cant survive either with 4 bad months in a row. Plus Walmart is in control of Sony now that 1500 circuit us/can, 250 some units once controlled by Tweeter and other examples above have wiped out about half of the US CE sales in the last 4yrs.

Consumer Reports worthless tests have also led customers to buy absolute crap like Visio...etc and their 25% failure rate. Hey Did anyone ever invent the plasma refill station (lol).

Vendors also deserve to be stiffed on payments. If they had not got greedy and left good stuff at good local guys only and stopped this internet cross ship, rip off.
