Circuit City Still Alive?
I was surprised to find a CC advertisement email today. I figured it might be a spoof email, but I checked out www.circuitcity.com. The website is still running, and looks available to take online orders. They show recent blu-rays like Taken.
I still have a CC gift card so is the company still alive online?

I had a bad habit of holding onto assets as long as possible. At one point I had dozens of various gift cards or store credits totaling hundreds of dollars. I would go thru them periodically to try to find any that might "expire" or incur surcharges, and use those. But then I got burned (maybe) when Sam Goody went under, and now I pretty much use gift cards right away.
Only a few bucks total (unless I find another buried somewhere). I was in a store as they were literally closing for the last time. I bought a bunch of rap CDs to use most of my remaining credit, could have bought one more to finish it out, but decided against it for some reason.

Its really TigerDirect or whatever company owns that. They also bought the Compusa website.
I bought a Notebook computer from Circuitcity.com back on the Memorial day weekend. It was to be delivered on 5/29 and then 6/1 by UPS but it never showed up. When I called UPS they said I should call Tigerdirect and have them trace it even though it was Circuitcity. They finally sent me another and I received it on 6/15. UPS did call me about 6/25 to ask if I ever received it. I was like why dont you check your tracking and that should answer your question.
Today in my paper said two UPS employees were arrested for selling stolen firearms at a UPS facility from thier cars in the UPS parking lot.......

There's a trend - buy up the name of a shuttered retail chain, and try to fake it for loyal customers on the internet (I guess there were some loyal customers for CC, tho you couldn't tell from this forum.)
I think there's also a CompUSA out there, and probably some of the clothing chains that folded have a ghostly presence on line.
