So in other words, I don't think you'll see any price hikes at BB because of this. Especially since CC hasn't been a major player in a long time now anyway. But then again I'm no business major, so, who knows.]]>Nov 2nd 2008 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/Nov 2nd 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/Nov 2nd 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/Nov 2nd 2008 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/New Egg FTW.

Why would they need to raise prices, they are already raping unknowing consumers. I have priced out several items that I have found at other B&M locations for up to 61% less. Some TV series you can find for a $20 at Walmart versus $30 at BB. I bought a WD laptop drive at Microcenter for $105(retail) versus $80(OEM) something on Newegg, BB price $171.99. On that your talking over 100% of the price of a OEM drive or 61% over the price of another BM for a retail. Those are just the few I have found with pricing I knew off the top of my head while walking through a store.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/Nov 2nd 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/

What many of you might know is that in the new millenium alone CC dropped employee stock options, reduced pay drastically, and had 2 mass lay-offs- axing around 10,000 people. Now, it looks like another 5,000 will lose their jobs. It's a bleak picture.

What many of you probably don't know is that before Best Buy was on the scene CC paid employees highly- TV sales associates were commissioned and while the average was in the $36,000 to $40,000 range, there were TV salesman making $60,000 plus! The reason for this being a severe lack of competition. Prior to Best Buy CC was marking up TV's 100%. These were the days when a 32" JVC curved screen TV went for $800! BUT, CC, at the time, did what was right- PAID THEIR EMPLOYEES WELL.

Best Buy asked the question what if we pay salesman $7/hr instead of commission and subsequently lower prices. CC had no choice, but to follow suit to stay alive, but they haven't marketed themselves well and their stores are outdated.

Currently, the mark up on Televisions is in the vicinity of 30 to 40%. You can't pay employees decent wages on this margin. I am in favor of a BB dominated industry and CC going by the wayside. BB will raise prices as it should and wages will follow!

Anyone who complains about rising prices in other fields, but fights for the highest wage possible in their own industry should insert a drill into their skull and continue buying Made in China products from Walmart.]]>Nov 2nd 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/circuit-city-to-shutter-155-stores-locations-to-go-public-tomor/
