I was amazed at Circuit City......
Went to my local Circuit City yesterday to check out the "deals".
The place was mobbed. It was like a feeding frenzy. Couldn't find a spot to park. When I get into the store, people hanging onto boxes like if it was their last meal. As I walked around the store, many items were not discounted at all. A rare few things like cables for connections were at a whopping 30% off. Some things like CD's and DVD's were at 20%. The rest (and I mean like 20% of the store) was at 10% off. So, people were going nuts, carrying printers, TV's on and on at 10% off regular price. WTF??? Am I missing something? Best Buy on a regular weekend, has many more items at better prices. At Circuit City, you get 10% off a $2,000 TV that you can't return as all sales are final, that you can't get 18 months to 36 months "same as cash" as Best Buy has. Isn't it post Christmas? Isn't the economy bad? I was amazed that 10% can be such a motivator.
