Circuit City to Close It’s Doors

By: L Jones

It’s a sad day. After 60 years of business, Circuit City has sadly succumb to bankruptcy. The company has announced that it will begin liquidating all of its assets in order to pay off creditors. This liquidation will begin as early as 17 January 2009.

The good news for consumers is “Liquidation Sale“.  I plan on heading over to the two Circuit City stores in my area and checking out the deals. Before you go to the store, keep the following points in mind.

1. Just because it says 65% off doesn’t mean it’s a deal. Be sure to SHOP AROUND first before you commit to a major purchase.  You may be able to get a better deal at rival electronics stores, such as Best Buy or even Sears.

2. Be sure to also compare prices with online electronic stores. A couple good ones to check are www.tigerdirect.com and www.buy.com.

3. If you do make a big purchase item at Circuit City, be sure to GET the extended WARRANTY offer. Though the store is closing, the warranties are handled by a third party entity. The warranties will be honored.

4. DON’T WAIT to long to make a purchase. Do you necessary comparisons as quickly as possible, as the legitimate deals will taken by other deal shopping consumers.

Well, there you have it electronics lovers. Here is a golden opportunity to catch a deal, but don’t go sprinting to the store. Take your time and watch the savings increase. The liquidation will last through March 2009. Enjoy.
