I was shocked by the *lack* of great deals when I stopped by my local Circuit City. Is 10% off on a TV enough when you know there's no back-up at all, except potentially pricey repairs, selling on eBay for a pittance or donation to Freecycle, if your 'bargain' turns out to be kludgy or non-functional? Many of the signs screamed: Final; no more discounts ever.' The faithful among us will still haunt the store till the bitter end, hoping they'll slash further. Here's another question: How shopping at a bankrupt store help get the economy revved up? Sure, it gives employees another couple of weeks pay but shouldn't I spend my money at Best Buy, which needs our money to keep functioning? Thanks again for your thought provoking blog.
