Vlog #5 - The End of Circuit City

I'm sure you've all heard about it, now hear it from the perspective of a Circuit City worker.

In this Vlog, you'll hear what it means to Circuit City for us to be going out of business, learn the truth behind some of the nasty rumors spread in the media, and see the beginning of a journey that many Americans are on right now: the quest to find a job.

I encourage people who both hate and love Circuit, as well as fellow and former workers of the company, to reply to this vlog and share your thoughts.

I think it was really fucked up how CC's liquidation company jacked up the "already low prices." Circuit City's last chance to fuck us in the ass I guess.

As i've explained before, those prices weren't 'jacked up' at all. Those were the MSRP prices, but most brick-and-mortar stores sell at below that to encourage people to come in the store rather than shop online. When the liquidators took over, they simply returned the prices to MSRP. Every liquidator does that, regardless of the store or company.

actually it's the opposite. Most of the time when liquidators take over they jack up the prices to higher than before except with 75%, 50%, or some amazing sale written across the price tag. Check it out for yourself, it's all over Youtube and the internet. Linens and Things did the same thing when they went out of business

Like I said, the price does rise in comparison with the way it was in the store, but the price hike is completely legal because the price they rise it to is the MSRP. They do then put sale stickers on them when they raise it to slightly under MSRP, but mostly it's just a sale tag with the 'percent off' section not even written on because there really is no percent off. The tag is just meant to draw attention.

Circuit City lives on at Circuit City.com.

small picture...BIG picture...every employee is responsible for the reputation of the company's brand. It sucks when such a few take pride in their work when the majority don't put in the same amount of effort. Did not have many positive experiences with CC with the lack of knowledgeable employees.

"Good company at heart?"... I think they needed to clean house in their Public Relations department.

I think people are only saying Circuit City is bad because the customers cannot get their way. Heck, I only bought a TV (back in 06, no problems and loved the price) and loads of video games thanks to the Gamer's Club (which in 2008, had improved after about two years with a fancy card, offers etc.).

I've NEVER had a problem with Circuit City. They had the best deals when it came to my interests.

I also like Best Buy (shop there now), but I really liked Circuit City more...

@iamaGod357 Do not post these comments on my videos any longer please, they're very disrespectful and disruptive to people trying to enjoy these videos.

@iamaGod357 This has nothing to do with the video, therefore I am deleting the comment. Also, the personal message you sent to me was disgusting. Please grow up and get a life.
