Re: COMP USA, OP KANSAS

Half of the Compusa stores are closing nationwide, something like 120 of them so this isn't just limited to Overland Park Kansas.

Re: COMP USA, OP KANSAS

The article I read said appox 2/3 of the comps were closing. Only about 100 or so to remain open. Threads at dvdtalk and avs forum go into the detail.

Went to the one closing near me and so far the 'deals' aren't too hot. Most are just 10% off with a few items at 20%. This still puts most items more expensive than elsewhere. Maybe by next week as inventory starts to dry up we'll see bigger % drops.

There is a COMP USA a couple of blocks from me and it is one of the ones closing. The inventory clearance sale has begun. Right now the discounts max out at 20%, which I'm sure will increase as time goes on. I'm sure the good stuff will be gone pretty quickly. I did actually see price reductions on iPods, something I've not seen before.

I went today and laughed. Even at 20% they are -considerably- higher then almost and local owned shop in the metro. Seriously, is anyone anywhere paying $70 for a dvdrw? Or taking off the discount 56??

Video cards are all about 100 too much... 7900gt cards at 279? 8800gts at 479? Please. I wonder how people get suckered into those buys. No wonder they are folding.

Re: COMP USA, OP KANSAS

I was in one near my house today. Two things:

1) they had a 56.6k modem with a $100 price tag on it. HUH?!?!??!

and then this gem from one of the customers who apparently didn't notice the signs all over the front of the store:

CUSTOMER: (to sales associate) Is this a new policy with the store to have all sales final?

I didn't stick around to hear the salesperson's reply, but I had a good idea about what he was thinking.

Re: COMP USA, OP KANSAS

Anyone know how often the markdowns will come? Right now the computers are at about 5% off while the rest of the store is 10 to 20%. One store that closed in Phx took about 2 to 3 months to close IIRC. I dont think there's really any good buys until it hits 30 to 40% considering the markup that folks are talking about above
