Circuit City

I am very sad to see Circuit City go belly up, mostly because of the lost jobs for area residents and the lost tax revenue for the area.
I just went to their liquidation sale and got some decent, though not super outstanding, bargains. I got a stack of DVD-R discs for about $12.00 and two DVD movies for about $8.00 each.
Not much is left.
I think some reasons many of the items they are liquidating are not such good bargains is that they were priced a bit high to begin with and the discounts on some of the items is still 40% or less. With only eight days left to go on the liquidation, with store fixtures being sold and removed, (not to mention the lousy economy), I'd think they would discount as much as possible just to get rid of the rest and make a few bucks in the process. Maybe this is part of the reason retailers, even so-called discount retailers, are in such dire straits nowadays.
