Upon hearing the news of 34,000 jobs being lost due to Circuit City's complete closure of all stores in the continental US (apparently Canadian stores will remain), I also found news of a liquidation sale starting January 17 and ending in March.  I'm tempted to go by tomorrow, but I've read nothing but poor reviews of Circuit City's previous liquidation sales (in November of 2008 they closed some 150 stores), saying the discount price is not much of a discount, if any at all.  Apparently, the liquidators (a third-party company owns the product) jack the price back up to MSRP (rather than Circuit City's regularly priced discount off the MSRP) and THEN give you the 10% discount.  There are many other pitfalls one must be careful of if tempted to bargain hunt.  Check out HD Guru.
