Whats ridiculous is those 'display' items that don't get marked down. I stopped by a Linens'n'Things that was a ghost town, down to selling the displays shelves, and they still had a Cuisinart coffee maker at 40% off!!!!!! only it was beat to heck and the lid of the carafe was missing, and the carafe itself had a dent in it. Still over $100.

Circuit City actually did not send any of their inventory from liquidating stores to normal stores... The liquidators bought it and it help kill the company even more. Why? All of that shit was in their BF ad and was out of stock at their normal stores. But the liquidating stores had em still though... It was great to harass the company forums with all of our inventory...

I got banned for telling the HR rep on there to kiss my ass and come fly her ass to KC if he wanted to fire me. (Why did I do this?) I no longer worked for the company and got tired of all the lies they told and all of the koolaid drinkers at the company that sheeped around. The liquidators paid my wage so the HR people couldn't do shit. It was great, well until they banned me, I had way more shit to talk..

I bet my store manager is loving me right now, I had to beg and convince him not to transfer to Lincoln store.. Because CC was going under and he would be closing another store without severance.. He finally told the GM 'thanks, but no thanks'..

That company is one of the most morally corrupt companies I have ever witnessed at the corporate levels.. They were blaming everything on the recession and not on their own incompetence..

It sucks that all of those people are out of jobs, but it is for the best.. That company needed to go under..

As for the dent, the liquidators buy the stuff all at a standard price broken or not.. And trust me, they will make a huge profit.. The average customer is an idiot.. I literally got to tell people that they were ignorant as we were closing the store for buying that product at a certain price..
