Among the reasons Circuit City failed . . .

So, as you know, because of Circuit City's clever idea to turn their company around by firing all their best salespeople and keeping all their worst ones, they are going out of business.

A couple days ago, I decided it was time to make like a buzzard and see what I could get at their "going out of business" sales. I was looking for a 17-inch flat screen LCD monitor.

Their "Going Out Of Business" price, deeply discounted from their regular price, was $179.

Both Costco and MicroCenter are selling a comparable model for $139, minus a $30 rebate, for $99.

I suspect that this is ANOTHER reason Circuit City is going out of business. When your Going Out Of Business price is kinda close to twice what other retailers are offering, meaning that your Not Going Out Of Business price must have been MORE than twice, it's probably a bad strategy.

For the first time ever, I am impressed by a spam subject: line

"Your schlong can be schlonger."
