    Circuit City is hurting right now and apparently that is justification for ripping people off under the umbrella of a liquidation sale. These so-called sales are within the 155 stores that are being shut down immediately, but a few reports have indicated that prices are being marked up and then receive a magic 10% off, resulting in a “sale.” In fact, these in-store prices are higher than the Circuit City website which is exactly counter the latest Circuit City ad campaign which claims “A One Price Guarantee.”

    Really, Circuit City? Have you slumped to the same level as furniture sales where you need to simulate sales in order to sell your wares? Wow. So is there any reason to shop at Circuit City now that even their liquidation sales aren’t really sales?
