Most of which are open box garbage that'd die within a month anyway, and the others are no-name garbage in the first place.

I'm amazed how all this stuff is selling so quickly. Especially the little memory cards, for even at 30% off are still about the price they originally sold for at Circuit City, which means anywhere else they can be purchased for a reasonable price...

1. There was a television on sale at Circuit City for "40% off"
They could be purchased for the same price at Best Buy (not on sale), and for a lot less at Wal-Mart (not that I'd buy a fucking TV at wally world).

What they did is raise the prices to full suggested retail, then made their supposed cuts.

2. Yup. And people fell for it.
:spray:

(I wouldn't buy a major purchase like that under those conditions; no return, bull**** price, et al...)

Ive been in a few times just to see. The TVs that are left are indeed shit. And still overpriced compared to a quick Amazon search.

Anything worth having sold in the first week/2 weeks at the most. Whats left is what others were smart enough NOT to buy.
