Terribly overpriced compared to the Internet.

Really? They were quite cheap here. The employees were helpful and they had plenty of things I needed. I even bought my slingbox there...Best Buy didn't carry it.

That was a great store. I was at the Moorestown location though once in late 2007 (not long before its liquidation), and it was nowhere as good as the CompUSA near Franklin Mills, the one I used to go to until that closed in 2006.

My father and I used to love to go to CompUSA for computer stuff. It was definitely sad to see it go.  :yes:

Really makes me sad. Circuit City just built a brand new store and closed their old on in the Spring. It was nice having some competition between them and Best Buy.

Circuit City in Irving barely moved to the Irving Mall 5 years ago. Such a sad sight indeed.

Best Buy go? Hahaha not in a long long long time. BB has been making record sales and profits and is now the only big kid on the block. The City and Compusa are all gone.

Scary to think that some people STILL haven't discovered Internet shopping yet. But hey, maybe people have money to waste.

Interesting...I didn't realize that all of the Circuit City stores were going away. The one by me just closed, but I thought that was just because of its location. :hmm:

There were a lot of Circuit Cites in Phoenix, but they weren't to close to me. But I had a CompUSA about a mile from me. There used to be another CompUSA close to where my father works and they turned it into a Best Buy, which isn't so bad because I liked Best Buy better than CompUSA and Circuit. But we also have another electronics store called Ultimate. It's really really cheap. That's where we got our TV in the family room.
