Circuit City files for bankruptcy

that sucks, but cc had crappy service and always had different prices, the online price and the in store price, and would never match the online price in store, i would have to go buy it on a computer then go pick it up, it was so stupid. And to top it all off over the last couple of weeks they had enough nerve to launch a commerical ad that says, they always match the online price, and what u see online is what u pay in the store hahahaha.......bs

I used to like them until about a year ago.
They laid off the senior sales people, the ones who had been there the longest,
proved their loyalty, and patiently worked their way up the ladder.
They then said that after six months they could apply for lesser positions.

While I admit CC never appealed to me as much as other electronics/entertainment retail, and in my opinion there's crapy service everywhere you go. I have to say what is sad is the loss of jobs. I really hope the best for the many that are getting hurt in this tough time.

Elektra is the most successful stores in the past couple of years in Mexico, they sell appliances, cell phones, Western Union, furniture, etc., and the store has also a bank this is the most successful business of Pliego (who also owns the second largest Spanish-speaking Mexican TV Network in the world, TV Azteca)...

So, all in all, it could mean a renovation of the stores with new ideas, new market share and an expansion (in a few years, of course)...so, good news...
