Circuit City Liquidation Price VS Reality

By February 27, 2009

Reader Kenneth stopped by his local post-apocalyptic Circuit City for an evening of bargain hunting. Was he successful, you ask? No, sadly Kenneth did not bag his limit of deals and return home happy. Instead, he found a $30 6′ USB cable.

Kenneth says:

So, I decided to take a look at my almost-closed circuit city last night for some super deals. I get here and I’m quite disappointed. Please look at the attached picture.

A Standard 6 foot USB A – B cable. No box. No anything. In a zip lock bag. Listed for $30.59. After liquidation discounts.

Hey, let’s see what Monoprice charges for this beauty. Cables… USB… A – B…. Wait, does that say… $1.10?

    I went to a local CC on Thursday- just to see what was left. There was not much…

    But I did get a Wii Fit Sleeve for $15.00 knocked down from $30.00.

    And a Nyko Wii SB-Ethernet Adapter for $10.00 down from the MSRP of $24.99.

    A good friend called me today asking about a LG 42″ HDTV. Model #:42LG20 for $900 which is 720p… I checked BB and they have the 42LG50 on sale for $900 this weekend and it’s 1080p. So, armed with some info you might be able to find a deal (of sorts).

    The guy who checked me out on Thursday said that they have 10 days left.

    I’ve been checking the local CC over the last week or so and watching the prices fall on all their overpriced crap. Most of the dvds were picked over long before the prices got low enough for me to care, but I still got Arrested Development season 1 and a couple of Simpsons seasons for $10 apiece. There is also a shelf full of Netgear ethernet switches that are down to about $10 or $12, so i’m going to go back and get one of those to replace my aging one. I’m also thinking about making an offer on one of the stereo receiver floor models they have left, see if I can get something for under $50.

    It’s not too bad right now if you check out the DVDs and CDs. You have to do your comparisions of course, but my husband and I got the third season of King of the Hill for $9.25. It’s about the same as an opened set online, and you don’t have to pay shipping.
