In return they end up hiring nothing but high school and college aged kids, on no commission, and no incentive to do anything. They cut out commission not long I think after 2001 & early 2002. I'm shocked they stuck it out for as long as they did.

So my boss picked up a Samsung T220 for the computer I am building him at CC today for $180.00. I would have to say that he got a good deal.

It's sad to see them close. I worked there for 4 years while in college. I made about $30 an hour on comission sales. After they stopped comission sales they let all the good salesman go because they were only paying about $11 an hour to people who used to make 3x that.
Sadly I prefer to go to BB to buy anything since the stores are laid out better and newer. The prices are usually the same though. Best Buy seems to have more sales though.

Go in and hide stuff...that is the only way to get a great deal. The shelfs in the area where the cameras and stuff are actually pull up on the bottom and there is a several inch space in there. We used to hide stuff in there while we waited for the clearance prices to drop back when I worked there.

We used to do that a CompUSA too. I got a killer set of Acoustic Research speakers that retailed for over $300 (these are a descendant model - http://www.jr.com/acoustic-research/pe/AR_AV570/ ) for less than $75 just because I hid them. I've had the speakers for almost 15 years now and they still sound awesome.

Haha at Kragen the managers used to set all the misc crap in the back for 2-3 months and they would go on clearance for super cheap. DVD players and other weird items for an auto parts store, just misc crap to put on the shelves. I hope that CC gets some decent sales, these prices have been crap.

PC games will be 40... then 60 percent off in Chicago.
...you have been warned.
That's what happened with the FIRST round of Chicago Liquidations.
I picked up Mass Effect and some other game... can't remember.
But that's where it all starts.
Open box stuff should be marked down too. Hope they still have that Denon 7.1 Receiver that was $130... can't really mark up something that's open. That's probably gone now though.
I'll check them out tomorrow since it's my day off.

People are morons. I drove by one yesterday out in the NW suburbs of Chicago and the place was packed.
It would be better for all of us if people just shopped a bit. I mean, it takes 5-10 minutes most times to research prices on the web and walk away a much more informed consumer.

that's what I've been telling people on another board. I refuse to spend any more there until discounts reach 50% or better, if that means I get nothing then so be it, CC won't be getting any more money from me.

I stopped into a CC over the weekend, and had the same experience as most others... the sales just sucked. It was kinda funny, actually, many of the 'discount' tags were placed in front of the original price tags on the shelves, obscuring the original prices. Move the 10% off tag, see that the original price was $10 lower than the 'discounted' price.
There was still a huge crowd of idiots buying stuff, though. Hey, if it works, I can't really fault the company for parting fools from their money. I don't plan on going back, though, at least not until the last days when I might find some last-ditch leftovers.
