Best Buy is the devil. I go there to buy a $20 movie and end up buying $2000 worth of stuff.
I didn't hear that Comp USA and Circuit City were closing down. That sucks, competition helps keep the prices in check. Maybe I'll check out Comp USA for some sales.

I've yet to hear anything about Circuit City closing, last time I checked they were making money but not as much as they wanted to, best buy is clearly a better money maker. I believe most of the CC stores that were going to close have already been closed, this happened last year. right around the time the CEO laid a bunch of long term employees and paid himself a shitload of dollars.

Best buy stays open because it is like a walmart they sell everything cards, candy, drinks, freezer, tv, car stuff and they are all retards I probably get 10 out of 10 customers that come in my store and they were told wrong info by a best buy employee. That is if they even get helped out...lol

Another thing BB has done is try to go after Tweeters customers with Magnolia, I know a few guys who work for Magnolia and they're not to shabby.
Magnolia is still a bit over priced IMO, I can get the same stuff from a very highend A/V store for the same price if not cheaper, I think Magnolia would do a bit better on prices, plus they dont carry things I think they should have. HDMI switcher anyone? maybe a repeater system? how the hell do you do highend installs with out a repeater system? I'm guessing they order ahead of time based on the jobs they have lined up, IMO they should keep that stuff stocked, even more so since they take up very little room and are not that high in price.
bah!

I went to the Columbia CompUSA about 3 or 4 weeks ago and almost everything was sold. All they had left was some open box laptops, display cases and shelfs, and CompUSA branded dvd-rs and other assorted junk.

Used to work up there...nice little place, back in the day (this was 2004, though). Price gouging as usual (~$30 USB cable we got for above cost at $1.50), but made some great friends from coworkers there.
Actually just went by there the other day to see what they were doing with the storefront, what was going up in place of Comp...no change, yet. Yea, they announced several months ago that they were closing the entire chain down. Back when I worked there, they closed down a good amount of stores, guess it just got worse and worse.

Yet you are stating we are getting loans kinda wierd when we just spend over 100 grand on remodeling out store. Do you self a favor and do more research.
