Systemax, the company behind Tiger Direct (and the buyer of CompUSA’s remains when it went out of business over a year ago) has announced it plans to buy the Circuit City e-commerce business for $6.5 million cash plus a share of the revenue over a 30 month period.

If you can come up with $6.86 million by May 6th, you can fight for the site in an auction, and then maybe sell your own homemade trinkets on circuitcity.com.
