Damn, the Lombard store was even moved to a new location, I guess it still sucks.

Will they have clearance sales at those stores, or just close shop and move inventory to other stores?

From the press release...

How much of a sale remains to be seen. The Lombard store is probably the closest one to me, but I highly doubt it will be worth the drive.

Best Buy & Curcuit City was too much competition for them, I won't miss them! Did they still sell dvd's?

Yes - CompUSA does sell some DVD's, back with their electronics (TV's).

This one sucks ass. It used to be Good Guys! then they closed it and turned it into CompUSA. The one at the South Bay Galleria is "better" anyway. With that said, I haven't bought anything at either store in years.

You bastard - that's the reason why GG closed a while ago and CUSA is closing soon - You should have bought something!

I saw the signs driving on Hawthorne of a 20% sale on EVERYTHING in the STORE last week and was wondering why a CUSA store that recently opened (in the last year or so) was having such a good sale.

Giantrobo

Ha! Don't blame me. Blame their crappy prices.

I have not been it this one but it was only been open what a year.

Yeah, they went from a good location with shitty parking to a bad location with great parking. Pretty stupid move. The store doesn't even face the main road. It's too tucked away to get any drive-by business. I never imagined that it would last the few years that it did in that spot.

Good. My local store isn't closing.

Giantrobo

I saw a guy holding a sign today(Sat 8/19) saying 30% off at that store.

Meathead

Saw signs for the closing in Syracuse. Actually one of the guys they hired to hold the signs near the mall was in an argument with one of the local homeless. Apparently the sign guy was on his turf.

juanmgonzalez

Up to 30% on everything in the store - stuff like accessories are at that discount level.

I bought a Mac Mini that retails for $799 yesterday - they only have 10% off on computers, but it was something that I was planning on buying soon and was already at the mall.

Giantrobo

Yeah I went in the other day and saw that. Once you get there it's, "Up to 30%" off". But still, 360 games for under $60 isn't a bad deal. But I still didn't buy anything.

juanmgonzalez

I saw the new ad in the paper that said "EVERYTHING 20-40% off" and hated myself for less than 5 seconds until I saw the fine print that computers were still 10% off. Looks like they'll probably keep everything going down in price except for the CPU's.
