wolfpackjeeper Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Me and the wife went out and had a look. This sub and box setup that was already marked down to 160 I walk out with for $89. Not bad. It is a Kicker comp slim box for trucks and a 10" kicker comp sub. Should sound just about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I went to ours last week. They appear to have raised most prices before slashing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 some are like that. The flash drive I got my wife was not a spectacular deal, but still better than no deal. They had some great deals on monitors and some TVs. And the boxed car audio like above had good deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I didn't spend too much time in there. I was still unemployed and thought better of it :no: . I may have to venture back tomorrow though. After all, it is my birthday sunday :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostissues Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 All I have to say is do your research first. most of the items at the beginning are marked up to MSRP and then marked down from there. some things you can get for a very good price but it will be hard to get a spectacular deal because in the time that it takes it to get down to that price someone with less sense then you said "wow what a bargain" and took it for the OK discounted price. on a side note all I ask is that you try to be as nice as you can to the employees, I'm not saying don't get pissed if they are being an @$$, I'm just saying don't get pissed if they tell you the price of something and you do not agree. the employees of circuit no longer have any say in what the prices are, are going to be, and how much they were. I work at circuit city and I have seen and heard my fair share of people that I would like very much to punch in the face. from comments like "there are no bargains here" (which is not bad but to hear it 10 times a day in varying degree of annoyance really gets to you) to "wow this place sucks no wonder they are going out of business" (because you had a bad customer experience means that 32,000 people deserve to be jobless). everyone working there know that they will not have a job in about a month or whenever the decide to close down that particular store. if you were put in that position and then verbally abused by customers all day long, it would be pretty hard to keep a nice face on. End of off tangent rant. other then that keep an eye out for great deals and do your research to make sure that great deal is in fact all that great.

wolfpackjeeper Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 ^^ pretty much. I agree. However I will have to say that, no offense, The customer service there when they were going out of business was 10 times better than any other time.

pingpong Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 That is what sucks about chap 7 bankruptcy. The company I work for just filled for chap 11. I am sorry to hear of your fate.. I pray it doesnt happen to me. At least in my area they are telling you in the adds how much they are taking off the price. Car Audio is 40% camera's 25% I believe tv's are 25, Cd's and DVD's is like 10-25%. While not great deals.. still better then no discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfg67 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The CC in my area is only offering 30% off of full retail right now. That's a good price, but not great...yet. With that said, I feel terrible for those who are being let go. Our economy is so bad right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 a lot of the people working those stores now are not circuit city employees, they work for the liquidating companies that have been brought it. so, a little easier for them to be nice and friendly. most industry experts have said CC's downfall was that they were too slow to change after Best Buy snuck up on them.

aemsee Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The people I saw at the store were still CC employees. I think one of CC's downfalls was from a few years ago when the owner fired the majority of full time staffing and refilled with a bunch of parttimers. I noticed the difference in customer service. There were more workers playing with stuff than helping. I started going to BB even though it was further away and didn't have as good of deals. Another example of poor leadership. Sorry about your job loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostissues Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 circuit made a lot of stupid decisions, the one you are talking about is probably the dumbest. they decided to fire... or "separate" some of the more knowledgeable higher payed associates and replace them with new associates so they could start them off at the base pay. they even offered to hire some of the employees back, how nice... did i mention that they were hired back at significantly less pay? yea a$$hole move on their part, a few of my good friends lost their jobs on that round.
