Our CompUSA did this last summer. 10-30% is just the starting sales, so items no one cares much about you can wait for 50-60% off in a month or 2 (like cd cases, dvd cases did disappear at 20-30%). Grab ink and printers quick, they won't last. Ipod's will take longer to get down, and won't get as low as other items, but should be there if you wait. Not sure about computers, although I didn't want toi buy one as there's literally one CompUSA left in my state, and it's 2 hours away.

I wonder if this is a second batch of store closings or if the whole chain is going belly up.

The two CompUSA stores we had here went away last year.

It stinks that there is a little less competition in the retail market now.  Pretty soon we'll only have one or two different stores to shop at.  I'm still one who likes the bricks and mortar type of shopping.  I only go online if I have to.

Every CompUSA in Western Washington vanished last year - I had four within 20 minutes to choose from.  But if they didn't close, I never would have discovered Fry's - that store is a Geek's wet dream!

Bit farther to drive to get to Fry's and I miss CompUSA though.

The whole chain is going this time apparently (see the link in my first post).

They didn't have enough Video inventory at mine to make me think i could wait.  A reasonable number of console games though.

I was hoping to snag an HD-DVD player for the PC but no joy.

Sorry, didn't click the link before asking.

I'm hoping Fry's comes to Michigan soon. Had to stop in at the one in Vegas due to forgetting the powercord for laptop, and yeah, it's defintily "a Geek's wet dream". I'm not even a geek, but my jaw was on the floor just from the dvd section alone.

R.I.P. CompUSA. They were much more helpfull and reasonably priced compared to Best Buy next door. Now I'm left with BB and CC, or worse, Wal-Mart.
