You're right.

If the liquidation company is the same one that did the first round of ~155 Circuit City stores, their MO is to come in, raise prices and then discount the new prices. After all, they get a 3.5% commission on the sales, so they need to keep the prices as high as possible.

I may run down there today and get me one of those really small laptops to take on the road with me......... if the price is right and if they have any left.

There was a Circuit City that in Sarasota FL that just had a Grand Opening (no joke) only a few months ago which is odd as it seemed like it was after or right around the same time they announced they’d be going out of business. I went there for the “Grand Opening Sale” and there was nothing of value or deals to be had. I did have a 10% “Grand Opening Sale” coupon and they did have the marked down price (at the time) a SanDisk 8GB Micro Cruzer USB flashdrive For $29.99. The stupid girl at the cash register looked at me like an alien once I produced the coupon. 5 minuted later dealing with the manager and hemming and hawing about how this coupon is not valid for some bs reason I vowed to never go back there to this trainwreck of a store (Grand Opening mind you). Once I discovered CC had filed for banruptcy and will be shutting down I had to laugh.
