CompUSA Closing 120+ Stores! Huge Savings!

http://digg.com/tech_deals/CompUSA_closes_128_stores_is_yours_on_the_list

check the list for local stores..

last time this happened i got 4 APC UPC 500w Systems for $40 each

[stereo555]

Yeh , this is all over at Fatwallet too .

Even the Compusa by me that is a BRAND NEW (built) store , seems to be closing . Do the "store locator" at thier website and you'll find out what stores will be remaining .

[wa77ss]

Checking list :D

[wa77ss]

[doublejack]

Wow. Comp is basically pulling out of Michigan. Kind of sad for me, because I worked at one of their stores for nearly 5 years. This chain will be completely gone in the not too distant future. The Fry's, Best Buys and Newegg's of the world are killing it. Circuit City will be next.

[dz_jad]

Am I an idiot, or do I just not see the closing stores?

[yog]

Am I reading this correctly? The only CompUSA left in Washington will be in Spokane? It seems like a bad idea to pull CompUSA completely out of the Seattle area.

You come near the one in Alexandria and we fight at dawn!

mine mine mine mine mine ALL MINE

hehe

I think Fairfax is closer :D

BTW, I think theres one in Vienna too thats closing. Just a heads up

[twEEkerAreUs]

It sounds like no word on any deals yet, but checking that list the last Comp USA here are getting axed. Oh well at least a Micro Center still exists if I ever actually need to visit it.

Sucks for the employees but that's how it works, you are expendable especially when the owner is selling at loss.

[sno.lcn]

They're apparently only keeping one in georgia, in augusta of all places :confused:

[Borisw37]

Has anybody visited any of the stores that are to be closed? Have they started the sales yet? There is one close to me, but I'm too lazy to drive over there.

[stereo555]

My brother talked to one of the manager's today at the Oceanside Calif store and was told the closing stores are to be gone within two months time .

*NOTE*

He was also told that everything being sold from now on at closing stores will most likely be unavailable for any kind a store returns ; meaning , that once you bought it ... its yours for good . Ask your store clerks about this BEFORE you make any purchases . My brother made a small purchase today from that same closing store (SATA/IDE cables) , and the receipt specifically said "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" !!! .

thats the ways its always been with compusa stores when tehy close.

IF YOU BUY SOmeTHING FROM A CLOSING STORE! NO RETURN POLICY TO ANY COMPUSA STORE! ITS YOURS TILL ITS BROKEN OR YOU SELL IT! MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES STILL APPLY.

[moho]

none closing in colorado as far as i can tell.

I was just at the Aleaxandria store by Landmark 4 days ago to get 2 Antec Tricool fans. It didn't look like it was about to close, still plenty of merch on the shelves. I got a great price on my Antec 900 case at the Vienna store in early January, but haven't been back since. Which locations are closing? Both?

[Evil_inc]

I would like to go their the last day they are open lol

AFAIK, Landmark is but not yet, I was there today and talked to a few employees that all said that most are closing but no one knew when or what was being done ahead of time and probably wouldnt for awhile.

[SteveLord]

NJ had 2 that i knew of. now they dont show up on the store locator...with the closest being 13miles away in manhattan...followed by connecticut at 71 miles. lol

[raccoonone]

Is there a list of the stores that are closing? I can't really remember how many CompUSAs are near me=P

[billb]

What will be left:
http://www.compusa.com/locations/store.asp

[raccoonone]

http://www.compusa.com/locations/store.asp
ya, I found that. problem is I want to know which are closing and I can't remember if there are any stores that aren't listed there.

[Pinky]

Hmmm... looks like mine stays open. I kinda wished it wasn't, I certainly don't shop there (haven't in many years). They're worth more to me closing than they are opening.

[IAmMoen]

i went to the one closing in roseville mn. No deals whatsoever. I asked some of the employees and they seem to think they will actually have deals in a month. No MIR offers on the shelves AT ALL which is the only thing that makes their prices ok normally. Right now the only thing that affects us is that all sales are final and that you cannot buy service plans or anything.

[Rav]

The stores aren't closing for 90 days, the best deals will be near the end.

If your CompUSA has a Tech Shop, ask the tech manager if they have any parts to sell. Very likely they have a lot of useful stuff sitting back there that isn't even in inventory.

I used to work at CompUSA, and from what I saw in middle-upper management, its no wonder this happened. Lots of red tape, run-arounds, pointless systems of paperwork and just the wrong people running things. Its too bad since there were a lot of good regular employees I worked with.

[Encore2097]

Well, the only store left in Michigan is Lansing...


looks like I won't be going to CompUSA anymore.

[LandShark]

man, I used to go to CompUSA on a, almost, weekly base just to check things out!! :(

btw, is the store on that list remaining open or going to close??

[DvBoard]

Where's the is closing list?

[petteyg359]

Does nobody have a list of what WON'T be left?

[renegade44]

Does nobody have a list of what WON'T be left?

Its typical of the thinking of CompUSSR management. A backwards list where you have to figure it out by a process of elimination. No wonder they are on the downhill slide to bankruptcy

299.99 for a 500GB HD? These guys have to be the stupidet managers on the planet.


Good riddance to them and their overpiced junk!!!

[damarble]

Am I reading this correctly? The only CompUSA left in Washington will be in Spokane? It seems like a bad idea to pull CompUSA completely out of the Seattle area.

Apparently. I wish they would close and we could get a real computer store like Fry's or Microcenter. Then again CompUSA is the only option so something is better than nothing.

well i stoppped going to compusa a long time ago. now i hit the fry's north of auburn, i forgot that cities name and or i shop online or bestbuy.

[SteveLord]

they were the only place that stocked BAWLS by the cases that i ever saw. (years ago)

now i gotta find 7/11s to get that....

besides, having more options for hardware when you need it now is great. they had some good deals sometimes too...like the Antec 900 case for $80! it retails for like $130.

Yep. At Newegg it's $139.99 plus $15.99 shipping, which is a typical price for it. I drove out to Vienna and picked one up for $79.99 plus a few bucks in sales tax. Fantastic deal. My new Conroe rig looks sweet in this case.

[John Jr]

Mines gone... Only place around here to buy an optical drive for 20 bucks when your fails and you are dead in the water... 60 miles 1 way now if I wanted to go there... Our best buy is run by a jerk and they hate me there. I make them stand by their policys...

[g0dM@n]

so if there's a CompUSA in my mall in West Nyack, NY, and I don't see West Nyack listed on the list, that means it's going out of business?

The listing shows EXISTING stores...

[Roofles]

Correct!

I went to the one thats closing by me, but they didn't seem to have any phatty deals out yet. Most hard drives were like 30% off but that was about it. Ill have to go back later...

[T'wolves]

None on the list for MN, that means all four twin cities locations are closing, Roseville, Minnetonka, Woodbury, Burnsville (i think).

Dibs on Roseville and Minnetonka.

[zizux]

so if its still on the list they are keeping it open?

Thats odd to me cause one of the local stores allways seems dead to me.

[petteyg359]

Yay. I think there may be about 5 stores nearby me that are closing!

[IAmMoen]

Hey t'wolves we seriously need to get together with my roommate and we need to go and pillage on the last day.

[OnDborder]

Ahh, how sad..:(
Another one bites the dust.
Oh boy,, bb/frys/cc gets ready to jack up the prices even more.. Less competition, higher prices, less selection.

[Jon]

The one near me in Duluth is gone. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't already - Fry's and MicroCenter are literally on the other side of the road.

[J2T]

Looks like both stores near me (14 mi and 16 mi away) are staying open, though I couldn't tell you the last time I went there. I just wish we had Fry's or something else around here, I don't mind CC, but I despise BB, and seems that most of the mom and pop shops are gone. :(

[twEEkerAreUs]

Hey t'wolves we seriously need to get together with my roommate and we need to go and pillage on the last day.

Don't be taking my deals now LOL :cool:

I will keep tabs on this, it would be awesome if some killer deals spring up. I'd like to know soon but last min isn't bad either...I'd rather see OCF users around here get in on it then a flake ebay user hording it all.

[Archer36]

We all need to find out when they are going to be posting the deals... the one closest to me in MI here is about 30min or so, so I can't just really drive there everyday and check.

[OniKoroshi]

I stopped by my local CompUSA and they didnt have any great deals. Most stuff was only 10% off and some were 20% off. Hopefully as they come closer to the closing date the prices will go down.

[Mortis03]

Agreed. I went yesterday and most stuff was 10-20% off. CPU's and mobo's were 20% off, which was kinda cool. I think I'm going to hold out and see if they drop more. If not, eh, oh well.

[Brando]

Mine too. 10% off for the most part. Only a couple 20% off. I'm gonna give it a week and pillage the leftover case logic 100 capacity cd holders and maybe get that belkin super surge suppressor with ethernet
I've been eyeballing. 50% off is what I'm waiting for(at least):bday:

[Fr3@k3r]

Like i was saying in another thread on another forum..

Compusa Does not put everything at 50-70% automatically.

They start at a low % off, than it starts to increase as the weeks go by.

as the last 2 weeks come, you will see 70-90% off but with not much stuff that you would want available.

i know this because ive been thru this before with compusa and some of their stores closing.

[mrgoodkat]

Man o Man, closest one to me now is 82 miles away. Pretty incredible that they don't have one in the city. Actually Chicago doesn't have nearly enough PC stores. Lots of gamers and lots of money to be blown here. Sometimes the best thing to do when in search of quality parts around here without the wait is to go on craigslist.

[LandShark]

I'm hoping they will have some nice discount for the LCD HDTV at 2 of my local store! crossing finger :attn:

[stereo555]

Ok peeps... here is "THE OFFICAL LIST" of closing Compusa stores : http://www.compusa.com/locations/closing_stores.asp

[sno.lcn]

I went today and it was crap. There was no advertisement outside but signs everywhere inside that said up to 20% off. All hard drives were 10% off, but still cheaper at fry's. 20% off motherboards, 10% off a few video cards, TVs, cases, laptops, and a few other things. Nothing was really worth standing in the long line for though. I went looking for some ram but ended up going to fry's and buying it there instead :thup:

[mrgoodkat]

I really cant believe they are closing their Chicago and Schaumburg stores here in Illinois. Both stores were always packed with people, literally.

Something else has to be going on other than just a downsize/realignment. Id bet both those stores were the top money makers in the Midwest if not the majority of the country, we just don't have PC stores out here in great quantity.

Seems like the place you'd want to dig in and hold your ground.

[wa77ss]

I got 4 near me!

If you look at whats left almost every one of the stores staying open is out in the sticks. In other words no competition. Makes it a lot easier to sell 500GB HD for 299.99

Hardly. The 2 I used to frequent are in NH. I go over the boarder because there's no sales tax. Anyways, those 2 are in some of the bussiest shopping areas arond here. Hell, one of them is even in the same exact parking lot as a Best Buy.

[Amoroso]

Cactus and Tatum Store in Phoenix is closing. Went the other day and they only have 10-20% off. Nothing spectacular in my opinion

[blitzkrieg1110]

Ok peeps... here is "THE OFFICAL LIST" of closing Compusa stores : http://www.compusa.com/locations/closing_stores.asp
funny how mine isn't listed in that list yet, I was just there today and they had signs everywhere that it was closing. They even had some guy stand out at the busy intersections with signs saying "Everything up to 20% off. CLOSING SALE!!"

[ahbroody]

We had one close a while back. After a few weeks you will see the prices really drop and few good deals can be had. I bought some stuff and sold it on ebay for a profit. Not bad but you have to wait. As I work swing shift I can usually be there when the store just opens. Buddy up with an assistant manager and he will tell you when the price drop days are.

[rainless]

I went to the CompUSA in Niles, IL.

The problem is I went there looking for "something"... but CompUSA never had "anything" worth buying. I found that even after 20 or thirty percent off everything was still overpriced... and nothing in their inventory merited an actual purchase... at the very least nothing I would ever go to that type of a store for.

So I bought a copy of "Monster" with Christina Ricci marked down from 6.99 to like thirty cents...to prepare me for Black Snake Moan. and a 40 percent off DC car adapter for my laptop for about 11 bucks. That's all I could stomach.

[Adragontattoo]

Uh Monster was probably the WORST movie you could have picked to get ready for black snake moan. A better movie would have been Prozac Nation.

I plan on going over tomorrow to see what deals they have. Ill start going once a week or so up until the end.

[deathman20]

Eh rarely went there but there was benifits of having this store in the area in case of computer emergencies. Now the closest one is 90miles away. Garbage. Oh well nothing like having nothing in the area.

[kimochii72]

Same here in jacksonville fl, Both stores staying open and both stores at busy intersections near major malls of which Best buy and Circuity city is just a 3 miniute walk too. Not the sticks so to speak.

[meionm]

Even with sale prices aren't that great. Discounts 20-30% when prices compared to online retailers are higher 10-50% depending on item, plus there is tax.

[Rav]

Talked to some of my old co-workers at our local CompUSA, they say there are 80% off signs in the back, waiting to be put up. Also, every Thursday night is when they mark the prices down a little more, so they take effect Friday mornings.

[dz_jad]

thanks for the info!

[mobitsfa]

Wow I went and what deals! 20-30% off their 50+% price increases! You can still get a better deal ordering from online retailers.

Maybe the last few days of their closings, prices might drop more.

I did have to buy a sata drive though, my ide drive took a dump. Didn't want to wait ordering from newegg.

WD 250gb sata drive 106.66 with tax. newegg 80.43 shipped and taxed. :(

Edit: Actually, I did save a few bucks. I forgot it was a retail version. :)

[Jarlax]

I swung by the local CompUSA store by where I work today and things were 10-20% off right now. But the prices after markdown are still higher then what you would find on-line. It is going to be a wait and see what is left right before closing with this one.

An example of the pricing, they have a PNY 8800GTS priced at 499.99...

Forget the prices being higher than online... their prices... AFTER THE MARKDOWN... Are higher than BEST BUY.

Example? 1950PRO Best Buy: 199.99. Compusa... after 30 percent off 229.99. Marked down from 299.99

The hell with these LOSERS. They deserve to be out of business.

Best deals are software and DVDs.

[IAmMoen]

The hell with these LOSERS. They deserve to be out of business.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel :)

[SteveLord]

i bought a null modem cable from them...mainly because they are the only place i could find that had any of the particular one i needed.

and i thought id give them 1 last purchase before they bite the dust.

[Blackstar]

My experience has been similar to the rest posting here. I went with RogerDugans to one store this weekend and was surprised at the 20% max prices. Nothing there, even with the discount was worth getting.

Roger goes up to one employee and asks "So, how long are you planing on stay open?" The kid replied, "60 to 90 days." Roger then said, "So, I should come back in a couple of months to get the real prices they should be now then, right?" The guy just growled and walked away. Seriously, I actually heard him growl! ;) Lol. I felt bad for the guy but Roger was right, the prices were horrible. And this person I'm sure would feel the same way, if he did not work for CompUSA. :bday:

I talked to this one kid:

"So how long you been working here?"
"Two months. I *just* came over from Best Buy. I haven't even had my first evaluation yet."
"Damn... That sucks dude. So what are you going to do now?"
"Find another job... hopefully."
"Don't worry, this place sucks anyway."
"Best Buy was worse..."
"Not for me it isn't."

Yeah, been looking at laptops lately and Best Buy is still way cheaper than Compusa. Bricks and mortar retailers generally have lousy prices but I've found Best Buy is actually not bad for laptops.

[TechJunky]

So, if it is on the list it is staying?

[stereo555]

Went and scowered the whole store today , just for sh*t & giggles (the heck of it) ; and found NADA worth a poop except a BFG 1000 watt'er PSU for 20% off : $300 -$60 = $240 (Neweggs price $288.9 -$20 MIR = $268.99) .

Interesting too was all MS/Vista OS software (retail box) was 10% off , with prices reflecting true retail prices (not CrapUsa inflated) . Not bad considering its hard to get ANY deal on Microsoft operating systems .

Unless you look at DELL. They only have 1 line of Desktops with XP on it now. And a decent setup of that, is like $800. (Tryin to find some for employees here)

[Oxalic32]

They have Razer Mice and Keyboards. Saw the diamoundback, copperhead, and the habu. I'll probably buy some Razer gear. With 5% off now its almost retail price. When its about the 89th day ill raid the place.

[T'wolves]

Same in the Minnetonka, MN store, too much inventory, most the place was still only 10% off...

[darksparkz]

Well we do have a Microcenter near the north side on Elston, and Fry's Electronics is only about 15 miles away from Chicago downtown.

Some of the Best Buy's are somewhat knowledgeable on things, laptop prices are good because they don't do MIR.

Didn't that Microcenter used to be elec-tek or something like that? We also have 2 tiger directs just southwest of the city. I didn't know about Fry's though, thanks.

I guess I take back what I said. I was just going on the fact that when I built my PC I sure didn't know they were around. Its to bad because I went with what the local small store had in stock.

As far as Best Buy's go I agree. Some seem to have fairly knowledgeable people. The Niles store though, is just pitiful. I grew up in Park Ridge so I used to go there a lot before I moved into the city. Now I think the closest BB is on North Ave.

The old CompUSA I used to go to was on Touhy out near Skokie I think.

[Krome]

Too bad the CompUSA closest to me won't close. One of the managers is a family friend, and he had mentioned that they are the top producer in the nation. :(

[voigts]

well I missed this thread while I was down for a while upgrading my desktop. I'll have to swing by one or two of the Atlanta ones next month when i go down there. I'm surprised they are closing all of the Atlanta locations.

Microcenter is far better than CompUSA anyway when it comes to buying computer parts. They actually have parts, not just flashy electronics.

[Fr3@k3r]

well got a couple things tonight..

a MSI K9N4 Ultra AM2 board for $63 after taxes which isnt a bad deal, some cabeling and misc items.

[Mr.DLucey]

a MSI K9N4 Ultra AM2 board for $63 after taxes which isn't a bad deal.

$62.99 at the Egg + $6.13 shipping (Maybe Tax) If you figure in gas to get their and back it's about the same price
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130063

Was hoping to see 40%-60% off all ready

dont have to wait 5-7 days and worry bout UPS to destroy something, didnt spend any gas money (was already at Bestbuy next door).. and was $63.. so im fine.

i know newegg had the mobo for the price, which is why i didnt hesitate to spend the money at compusa.

[blitzkrieg1110]

Was hoping to see 40%-60% off all ready
Just stopped by again on Friday and they were still running the 10-30% off......

:bang head

[Daegon]

I went to my local CompUSA and spoke with a salesperson, apparently the stores have been sold off to a liquidation company, so everything must go. Like they were selling the shelves.

[ShadowPho]

Just drove to one in Shaumurg, Chicago, Illinois, and they had 10%-30%. No good deals. 8800GTS was $400 - 10% = $360..... Radeon X300SE was $90-30% = $60...... X2 3800+ was $290 - 30% = $210.....

NOTHING THERE :(

[Evil_inc]

I found one of the only local stores closing, unfortunatly it is an hour away so i will just be waiting to see when your stores hit the 50%+ mark.

[meionm]

Went the other day, once more to check prices. It looks like compusa repriced their stuff before going to 40% sale. Seriously where will you buy Doom 3 for $49.99

[Pomegranate]

Still not a lot of good deals. The "tech parts" section is discounted 30%, so you can get some decent prices on cooling stuff. Too bad they don't have Scythe or Thermalright. I'd rather see my microcenter go out of business. They have a better parts department.

[Captain Slug]

They never have anything I want. So 40% off of stuff I don't want means nothing to me.

[DorianBrytestar]

Just went to a store that was closing that is next door.

Only thing that snagged my attention was a couple of core2 duo boxes in the 30% off locked up area. They had them bumped up to $279 as the regular price, so yer not saving much, but after all is said and done it would be $175 or so.

A little bit cheaper than the egg, but not much.

Looks like $20ish

And with "all sales are FINAL" its worth the extra 20$ to buy it from Newegg

While I feel for the rank and file CompUSSR employees the evil suits who run CompUSSR should be tarred and feathered when they finally go bankrupt.

Umm, with 30% off, that $279 would be $195.30. What model cpu were they? E6400?

[DorianBrytestar]

I didn't do the math myself to check, it probably was 195, the sign was written in small script with a sharpie :)

Hmm, I thought I mentioned it, that they were E6400s.

[Adragontattoo]

Yeah it seems that the prices are being inflatedto compensate for the "discount" on some things. I got Vanguard last week for cheaper then I could have anywhere else (The super special collectors edition) and other then that I am on standby waiting for actual deals.

[DorianBrytestar]

Rofl, yeah, I was actually staring at two of those games myself. They had two on the shelf and I looked them up on my pda on ebay to see what they were going for now days.

[doublejack]

I stopped in at my local Comp on the way home last night. Whole store is still 10 to 30% off and not much is worth buying yet imo. The tech department was hit pretty hard and barely anything is left, but even @ 30% off there were really no deals. Not sure who is buying that overpriced merchandise. The software is picked over pretty good too (it was condensed to 1/2 of the normal area), but it's only 10% off. I'll probably wait a couple weeks before heading back. Maybe they'll have actual deals by then.

Joe Six-pack and Ms. Wine-cooler that are buying it, because they are still learning what the internet is and how to use it, and thats why they don't know about the Egg or here. Buy the time we get a good discount, I'm affraid most the morons walking the store will have bought most of the good stuff overpriced to us, but cheap to them.

Edit: Best deal I've seen so far was BFG 1000W PSU for 30% off sticker price was $299, after the mark down+tax was still about $40 cheaper than the Egg prior to shipping and after a MIR. I almost bought all five across two stores and sold on ebay but never did.

[deathman20]

Just stopped by again on Friday and they were still running the 10-30% off......

:bang head


That still is what is being spit out at our store here. Hoping to get a good cheap AGP card still. Have hopes but not high ones, I can only hope.

[Fr3@k3r]

Prices go down again tomorrow morning if you guys decide to hit up.

ive decided a once a week scour of the store on fridays should do the trick.

I know what i need, i know the prices for each online so i know what im willing to spend.

friday is the start of their week or something? just curious cuz i'll hit it up too the same way, but i'll go on the day where things "change"... if friday is the day...

friday is supposed to be change over days for prices and such. i cant garuntee that tho. but according to a few and a person at my store, they start changing signs and such thursday night after closing for the weekend.

If you stop by, can you let me know what the percentage off on graphics cards are?

I would run up there myself but it takes 45 minutes to get to the nearest one from where I live.....

[Fr3@k3r]

yeah if i decide to..

last time i was there it was 10% off, i think its maybe at 20% now but i doubt that.

[doublejack]

Graphics cards were still 10% off at the Comp near me as of yesterday, so figure that's about 40% above street price :).

Most of the store is still just 10% off.

[Korndog]

cases are like 30% off for most of them..
if it goes up to 50, i'm getting an antec 900 :D

[Mr.DLucey]

ive decided a once a week scour of the store on fridays should do the trick.
:thup:

Give us a update please

[rainless]

Just drove to one in Shaumurg, Chicago, Illinois, and they had 10%-30%. No good deals. 8800GTS was $400 - 10% = $360..... Radeon X300SE was $90-30% = $60...... X2 3800+ was $290 - 30% = $210.....

NOTHING THERE :(

I went to the ShaumBURG store myself... don't waste your time.

Unless you want PC games then the place is a bummer. You're better off going to the best buy next door.

[blitzkrieg1110]

Okay, so no one has been to a CompUSA yet today? Anyone have an update on the sales (preferably on graphics cards)? :beer:

[deathman20]

I'll be going at lunch so in like an hour here.

[Fr3@k3r]

i just woke up its like 9am here and they arent open lol

[blitzkrieg1110]

lol thanks guys, I just don't want to make a 45 minute trip if it's going to be the same old 10-30% off (with only 10% off the gfx cards) :)

[deathman20]

lol thanks guys, I just don't want to make a 45 minute trip if it's going to be the same old 10-30% off (with only 10% off the gfx cards) :)

I'll tell ya in under 2 hours what my store is doing at least, since its right down the road for me.

[deathman20]

Nope garbage, still 10-30% here.

Man they have crappy pricing schemes still, cases are not a half bad price, Paper & Printer Cartrages suck, PSU's decently priced, hey software 15% off, discounts for Vista if anyones intrested save a few bucks.

[Adragontattoo]

I am waiting on further drops and I might get Vista Ultimate if the price is decent.

I'll check the one by me on my way home tonight (hour or two)

[T'wolves]

Nope garbage, still 10-30% here.

Man they have crappy pricing schemes still, cases are not a half bad price, Paper & Printer Cartrages suck, PSU's decently priced, hey software 15% off, discounts for Vista if anyones intrested save a few bucks.


Same here in MN, went on my lunch, HDDs and video cards still only 10%...

[Adragontattoo]

10-30% off and Vista is gone. Either they got bought up or they got shipped off to stores staying open. That will probably happen with bigger ticket/low markup items.

[Jon]

By the time ours has a discount worth checking in on, I'd say everything will be gone. People around here can be morons. They'd rather buy something that's $200 with a 20% off tag on it simply because it's got a pretty red tag, rather than go across the street to Fry's and spend $150 for the same thing. They see "Sale" and leave their brain at home.

[Douken]

This is kinda stupid. I live 30min. to 2 CompUSA, and another is 1 hour away, and the poor of u have to say good bye... :santa:

BTW there are like a ton in sunshine state, guess the lucky guy here is SSS and his trolls

[deathman20]

10-30% off and Vista is gone. Either they got bought up or they got shipped off to stores staying open. That will probably happen with bigger ticket/low markup items.

Well the whole stock at mine is 15% off. And there is plenty of it from Ultimate down in Vista, and im not enough touching the office stuff.

[blitzkrieg1110]

Well the whole stock at mine is 15% off. And there is plenty of it from Ultimate down in Vista, and im not enough touching the office stuff.
These sales just aren't impressing me......

Thank you very much though for reporting back.....I MIGHT take a trip down after church on Sunday seeing as it's only 15 or so minutes away from there....

[deathman20]

Well the whole stock at mine is 15% off. And there is plenty of it from Ultimate down in Vista, and im not enough touching the office stuff.

Don't get me wrong in this one when I mean whole stock I mean whole stock in Vista/Office software!

[doublejack]

I stopped in at my Comp on the way home from work. The software section was hit pretty hard when the discount was 10%, now that it's 15% there's hardly anything left. Just a billion copies of TurboTax and Burning Crusade. I picked up the 3rd to last copy of Vista Home Basic upgrade for $85. The only version of Vista with any quantity left was Ultimate full.

Overall I agree with Jon. By the time the prices get low enough to actually be a deal (for the tech savvy) there won't be anything left :bang head I had hoped to pick up a cheap PCI express card, but I can tell already it ain't gonna happen.

[Lizard72]

I went last week and the laptops were only 5% off, Idiots were buying them like candy.

[deathman20]

I went last week and the laptops were only 5% off, Idiots were buying them like candy.

Well remember most just want to buy a PC, they could care less if they could save more later if they want it "NOW".

[jaredavidporter]

40% off software/hardware and 15% off laptops here

[deathman20]

40% off software/hardware and 15% off laptops here

No kiddin, lucky man.

[Fr3@k3r]

different markets dont always have the same discounts...

i shoulda mentioned that :/

it depends on how the item is selling in a certian market.

[Mr.DLucey]

Well I just called the one by me in New Jersey thats closing and they say all their stuff is 10-30% off. Cases are 30% off. Laptops are also 15% off.

[Fr3@k3r]

yeah went by mine, everything is still 10-30% off.. grabbed a 108mbps Wireless G PCI card for $25

[ww2717]

Three out the 5 in my area are going out. They got stuff still only marked 10% off. I can still get it cheaper online with shipping included in the price. To bad they all of them aren't going out of business. CrapUSA's prices were never very competitive.

[ShadowPho]

mmm... i am waiting for 50% off on the 8800GTS :D. I will buy it then at $200.

[Fr3@k3r]

mmm... i am waiting for 50% off on the 8800GTS :D. I will buy it then at $200.

75% of all good video cards are already gone.. you will find x1300's, FX5500s, 6609's and such like that left.

[sno.lcn]

The compusa next to my house still sucks, 30% off at the most and that's only on a few things. PSUs are 30% off but I don't need one. Video cards are still only 10% off and they have an e6400 for $280! I was excited at first because I figured that price was for an e6600 :rolleyes:

[Jon]

I went to the one in Duluth, GA this weekend just because Shoe Carnival was next door. Mostly only 10-15% off the standard stuff. It still didn't make anything cheaper than Fry's. I was in need of a PSU and those were marked down 30%, but everything that was worth getting was still out of the budget I was working with (I just needed a decent 450-500W and they only had junk or 750W left).

I wasn't impressed and won't be going back.

[rainless]

Schaumburg, Illinois

50-70 percent off... but everything's gone.

[ShadowPho]

Schaumburg, Illinois

50-70 percent off... but everything's gone.

Dang it! I was about to go to that one, but instead went to the other one. :(

[jaredavidporter]

Everytime they raise the percentage on something they raise the price aswell...it's pretty annoying

[Ducatti]

10-30% in Phoenix.... We have 5 stores though....

[mrgoodkat]

Everytime they raise the percentage on something they raise the price aswell...it's pretty annoying


Sounds like a car lot. My buddy sells cars, you should hear the crap they pull. Im convinced nobody ever leaves with a good deal, even family.

The day before a sale that advertises a certain percentage off they just simply go and printout new stickers.

Takes a certain person, with really no morals whatsoever, to be a car salesman.

[DorianBrytestar]

Just a heads up for Alpharetta Georgia store. Same discounts as before really.

[Fr3@k3r]

my store closes this weekend.

[Dubbedoutgeo27]

Checked my store out today.

only 10-30% off.

And ALL the pc hardware is gone already (except fans and PSU's)

[BigJk-47]

10-30 here in b-lo.

Newegg could send my items overnight mail and i'd still be saving money compared to buying from them,LOL.

[dz_jad]

Any one got price quotes on PS3s? Don't think they would throw around deals on the new gaming systems, but Thought I'd try....

[Adragontattoo]

they had nothing console wise other then peripherals and games.

[IKIKUINTHENUTZ]

I have 2 closing nearby

One is at the 10%-30%

However the 2nd one is 80% and only have 6 more days until they close!
too bad eveything in that store is already gone!
I mean nothing, no heatsinks, no thermal paste, no video cards, hard drives,etc etc etc
The only things left in there are wireless adapter cards, power connectors/ adapters, and 15inch monitors and some crappy games

[g0dM@n]

i hadn't visisted my compusa cuz i didn't think 30% was worth it... since most of their stuff is 30% more expensive that say newegg...

i may hit it up this weekend... but probably won't find anything left worth buying

[doublejack]

I stopped in at a couple of the Detroit area Comp stores this morning. Still 10 to 30% off and still nothing worth buying.

[meionm]

The one where I live will close in 6 days and laptops are like 10-20% cheaper. Keep in consideration that I can get something from dell outlet with smilar spec for 30%-60% cheaper

[IAmMoen]

i will be hitting up a couple around my neck of the woods this friday. See if there is anything left and what kind of sale there is.

[mpg01]

I've been to a local one for the last two weekends with similar results. 10%-30% which is totally not worth it (but people suck this over-priced stuff up like idiots). I did see signs that indicated that there would be another price drop next weekend. For instance, I'd see labels showing a sale price that also showed a further discount as of a certain date, most of which were like 4/4, 4/7, around there.) Still not major savings though.

I'd also encourage people to haggle if you see something your interested in. Make an offer. The worst they could say is no. Especially since all sales are final and they would rather move the stuff.

[twEEkerAreUs]

i will be hitting up a couple around my neck of the woods this friday. See if there is anything left and what kind of sale there is.

Let me know, I don't even plan on wasting time driving to them to see. Still sounds like a bust.

[Adragontattoo]

FWIWT they are price dropping thursday night. up to 40% off. I am holding off on a small hope that I get a new vid card for dirt or possibly a few Razer items.

[IAmMoen]

Let me know, I don't even plan on wasting time driving to them to see. Still sounds like a bust.

roseville is close to me so it is no hassle really.

[Monque]

Went out to check for a second time this last weekend and they were on their last two days of business. 80-90% off for the most part, with every junky item now being halfway worth it for the few bucks one would pay :) Only picked up a game, but there was a lot of printing and network materials left in play along with some books, old monitors ($5 a piece), and surprisingly a good deal of peripherals and USB/component/misc. cables. A reseller loaded up a shopping cart with the routers before I could make a decision on one, though...

[Lionsault_100]

junk junk junk, at junk prices, gotta hold out

Me and some friends went in and tried to get an exact date on when they were closing and the salesman went into this huge tirade about how we should buy something right now

[Bathroom Monkey]

Be careful... I bought a linksys wireless router at 35% off....


and then it died on me. went to take it back, and they pointed to the part of my receipt that said "ALL SALES FINAL"


I proceeded to violently cuss myself out for doing something so stupid. Could have found that thing online for alot cheaper, but I 'needed it now' and am now stuck with a linksys piece of garbage.


Just be careful...

[mils128]

I went to the Lenox ATL., Perimiter ATL., and Cobb ATL. All of them Suck, nothing competivly priced, Perimiter ATL has socket 939 boards plus AMD 300+ 939 for like 200 bundle. Lots of Vista and Office htough, Apple Section is TOTALLY empty

[Jon]

I actually grabbed a 520W PSU at mine last weekend. It was mistakingly marked at $69.99 (the 500W were marked 79.99). I got an additional 30% off, so it was less than $60.

A better deal could be had online, but I had ordered one that was DOA, so I was desperate.

[Adragontattoo]

Ok their prices on SOME things are now at the equivalent of online pricing.


CompUSA to Amazon pricing
19w Acer is same
Habu is =/=
Diamondback =/=
Tarantula is almost a deal
Video cards HAHAHAHAHAHAH NO DEAL YET
Icemat Audio White/Black headset is a deal by a small margin
Razer headset is a deal but seems to be getting very bad reviews through Amazon so YMMV.
Bawls is a deal (approx 13.81?) before tax.
Cables are no deal at all (go to MONOPrice.com for deals)
Blank CDR/DVD-/+ are no deal.
Console games may be a deal now IDKTBH
Saitek I & II, Joysticks and rudders are a small deal if any, most are no deal.
N52 no deal
Z board ehh your call, didnt seem to be a deal yet.
UPSs No real deal but YMMV
Sempron/Foxconn combo is 40% off the 150.00 asking semi deal
All tech parts are 20-40% off and no real leftovers or deals in my area.

[Krogen]

I just went to the one in Schaumburg, IL, and most prices are still marked down by 20%. Motherboards and some other computer hardware is marked 20 to 40 percent off, making them close to retail prices or the same. Nothing too interesting though. Geforce 5xxx cards, x300, x1300, stuff like that. Some cheap motherboards.

Books are 40% off. Too bad that a lot of them are really outdated (Office 97, iMac guide book from around 2000, lol).

20% off on all games. Not too many new ones.

[OnDborder]

Vista-20% off. Purchased Ultimate upgrade for 208 before tax.

[ww2717]

They just need to shut down all the CrapUSA's. Circuit city needs to be put out of business too.

[stereo555]

Vista-20% off. Purchased Ultimate upgrade for 208 before tax.

Confirmed also , 20% off Vista in S.Calif (92584/92562)

You should be able to get warrantee service directly from Linksys, yes?

[Andisoss]

HHmm , may have to go grab me a Gigabyte-965P-S3 . I did not even think CrapUsa even carried boards that are worthwhile . Thx for the info ;)

[Andisoss]

HHmm , may have to go grab me a Gigabyte-965P-S3 . I did not even think CrapUsa even carried boards that are worthwhile . Thx for the info ;)

I got the very last one in Dublin, CA. I was using my cell phone to surf the prices on Newegg.com to compare and make sure i was getting a good deal. COMPUSA was very expensive to begin with and it is sad they had to knock of 40% of the price to make them even compare to Fry's or Newegg. I still can not believe they had that SHARK Case for only $60.. its $160 on most websites.

Some other things of interest that were also on sale for those interested..

XBOX 360 at 20% off (you NEVER see a game console on sale)
Windows Vista 20% off (still not as cheap as OEM, though)
Various AMD Processers/MB's at 30-40% off

[EezurpaiN]

I just walked out with the following:

ThermalTake SHARK Case : $60

OMG dude where do you live if they had a shark in the dallas area for 60 bucks they would have one less I called up one of the stores and he told me it was 109.98 minus 20% didnt call any others.

[Oxalic32]

No wonder why this crappy store is dieing. I heard Circuit City isnt doing well either. I'm glad. Last time i checked nothing was a good deal. Im going back tomorrow to check on some bawls.

[stereo555]

Went to CrapUsa today ... M$ Vista is now @ 30% off !!!

Probably the best price you'll ever see it at CrapUsa , as Iam sure it will sell out at that discount .

[LandShark]

just went there today, saw a 42" 720p/1080i Samsung LCD HDTV (nice spec! not junk non brand name spec!) 25% for $1124.99. now we start talking!!

not bad at all for a nice brand name 42" LCD HDTV if you are in the market for one!!

[IAmMoen]

i would still get the 1080p westy over that though. (but I am a little biased because I have the westy) Anyways, here in MN the prices arent all that great yet. I might have to go back and check today what friday brought (went there on thursday night). I want a 40% off ups!!!

[doublejack]

I stopped in at lunch this afternoon. The one near me is at 20-50% off now, and hardly anything is left. In fact, when I first walked in I thought the store had no power. Turned out that they just have all the lights off except a few at the very front of the store, where the remaining merchandise is. Absolutely nothing worth buying, it's all still too expensive. Everything good is still only 20 or 25% off, which is a good 10% higher than internet pricing.

[g0dM@n]

i've yet to visit my compusa... probably never will, though...

[Oxalic32]

i've yet to visit my compusa... probably never will, though...
I took a visit over to mine. What a waste of time. I was looking for discounted bawls, looks like they were all picked up around 5% or 10% off. Anything decent like Razer mice/keyboards/headsets were both beat up and over priced. As i was leaving i saw a nice big sign "all sales are final". I would open up the stuff at the register if i bought anything. Looks like people are taking stuff and beating some stuff up. I saw a few nice cases. No price tags, and i was sure someone had put a dent or two into them.

[deathman20]

By me on Friday, stopped in 20-50% off. Most everything was cleaned out. 30% off Vista, not bad. Picked up some DVD-R's, cheaper than online for premium brands about dang time. Was half tempted to ask the store manager I'd take a load of DL disks if he cut a good deal more.

They arent stopping you from opening stuff, I did open up a tarantula in front of three employees with no issues.

Free extra keys and key removal tool in the box (2nd set) and after repackaging it, I have it at home now.

[OnDborder]

40% off of Vista at my store.

[stereo555]

40% off of Vista at my store.

VERIFIED ! (in Calif) .

Thx OD for the heads up ; my brother thanks you . ;) (Vista Premium full $240 -$96 = $144)



(added note: remember ... most stores close down in two weeks , if your thinking about waiting for 50% off ; it may never happen.)

[Krogen]

Went to CompUSA again yesterday (Schaumburg IL). Got a Zalman VF 900 for my X850XT for $30. Not bad at all. Going again next week (hopefully everything will be well over 50% off since they barely have anything now).

[deathman20]

40% damn thats a deal on Vista. Thought 30% was good.

[T'wolves]

They were selling fixtures for half off. I picked up a big printer encasement they ripped the printer out of. I am turning it into a huge airbrush/spray paint booth. On wheels and has storage space. Soundproof it and put my aircompressor in there with a cooling fan and I can paint while inside my condo. The encasement was only 25 bucks.

[doublejack]

The metro Detroit stores have Vista for 40% off too. Not many copies left though.

[Fr3@k3r]

well my store has been almost ransacked and has fixtures and nicknacks left.. apparently they didnt close when i thought they did LOL

[torin3]

Went in to get a copy of Vista Ultimate Retail for 40% off, and I got the last one in the store...talk about timing it right. Store doesn't have much inventory left.

Man I still saw taht type of crap at CompUSA right now on there closing sales.

[Lionsault_100]

They had beige CRT monitors in the farmingdale branch for $25. Couldnt help but laugh out loud when we saw those.

[funnyperson1]

My local CompUSA still had a lot of stuff, but even with the discounts most of it was still horrendously overpriced.

My dad picked up a bunch of Vista Business copies for his office, and some Office.

The best deal I picked up was a Belkin 4 port KVM that happened to be in a $3 bin :). Other than that some AS5 for $5 and an IDE to notebook IDE adapter.

They had crazy prices on their old bench equipment, old video cards were all marked $25, I mean $25 for a TNT2 or Rage XL 8MB? A DVD-ROM was $40.

Probably used by the inventory people in the back, or in the office room.

So has Best Buy and online shopping been driving Compusa into the grave or what?

Damn 70% off? Dang I'd buy a full version instead of an upgrade that I have currently if I could get it that cheap.

just went to my compusa and they have 90% off notebook memory. They have 512 and 1gb ddr400 and ddr2 pc2-5300 (iirc) for under $15. If anyone wants me to look for something just pm me. I will be going back tomorrow morning to buy them out of their 1gb ddr2 (which i can sell on ebay for $60+)

[BigJk-47]

I went 3 days ago and it was 50-70% with alot of stuff,today it was 70-90 and was slim pickins.

Burning Crusade for $8
Game Guides for $1-$2

Lots of damaged stuff with no discount,Some DDR2 1gb for $30,some rambus 256 for $40 which made me laugh,lots of expensive apple software reduced to almost nothing,final cut,Mac Office.

I didn't want to risk buying expensive software not knowing potential resale value on ebay and I wish knew more about mac software.They had some final cut programs reduced from $1400 to $300,mac office for $50 and alot of other expensive apple software.
