Judge approves Circuit City liquidation plan By MICHAEL FELBERBAUM and VINNEE TONG, AP Business Writers Friday, January 16, 2009 (01-16) 11:48 PST NEW YORK, (AP) -- A bankruptcy judge says Circuit City Stores Inc. can liquidate its remaining 567 U.S. stores. Circuit City needed approval from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Huennekens (HIN-a-kins) to begin to put itself out of business. It sought a buyout deal, but one could not be reached. The nation's second-biggest consumer electronics retailer says it will lay off more than 30,000 workers and begin close-out sales on Saturday. Richmond, Va.-based Circuit City filed for Chapter 11 protection in November. Its Canadian unit is still negotiating for a possible takeover.

I read an article in local paper the other day about all the restaurants going belly up. Some being resold for 30 cents on the dollar and still thought to be over priced. Big chains like Benigans etc.

I never hit the big box stores. Although I did visit Best Buy not long ago for one or two things...

I went there with there big going out of biz sales and the prices were still higher than other places. They couldn't or wouldn't match another store so...I bought elsewhere.

Stupid shit like that is probably why they are going out of business in the first place. I mean...negative cash flow (assuming it's negative) is still cash flow. Not moving product is just stupid. But I guess they didn't give a shit? What do I know.

The two Circuit Citys near me are over priced, and lacking in selection. Good riddance.
