OK OK. I just could not resist. Its like trying to drive by a car
wreck without looking.
Anyhow, I just *happened* to be in the neighborhood of my local Circuit
City and it just seemed a good idea to drop by and see if I were wrong
and bargains were awaiting us all.
People were lined up 10 deep like sheep to pay for their newfound
bargains. Most were at a 10% discount and no recourse, no refunds etc.
Why would anyone choose to buy with this set of rules for only 10%? I
could not find a single bargain in the place. Maybe my eyesight is
failing but in the end, I just left without buying anything, nothing at
all. I can do much better dumpster diving, and of course, Hamvention.
