Electronics retailer Circuit City is in the process of closing its remaining stores. All of its remaining US and abroad locations are flanked with liquidation-sale signs, and claims of as much as 40% off on electronics and other inventory. However, a stroll into one of their stores reveals the full story. Sure there are deep discounts, but they are primarily limited to open-box and display units. Most inventory has been depleted – we assume the manufacturers have taken it back, or that Circuit City has sold it off to other retailers. What major electronic remain are offered at very slight discounts, and come with the burden of an as-is, no-return policy.  I also noticed that the store was stocked to the rafters with el-cheapo accessories such as headphones, cell phone cases, and the like. I’m not talking brand name, but rather the cheapest almost give-away variety. They were all made to look like they’d been significantly marked down, but this was merchandises that I am sure Circuit City normally never carried. In any case, it’s worth checking out, just don’t get fooled by the big percent off claims. Shop pricegrabber.com for comparing prices between retailers.
