CompUSA closing down retail stores

You can check the news wire here.

I ultimately decided to put this in the General section since closing down retail stores will mean liquidation sales. And considering this is the shopping season, I thought a lot of people will be interested in that.

Comp USA had really bad sales... especially in my area, when they closed down there store... It took the store roughly half a year to finally close and even though it was closing the max the percents ever fell was about to 25%... and by that time the store was pretty much cleared out... for no good reason given that everything inside was roughly over-priced by 25%. Comp USA used to be a great place to grab games and stuff, but they died when Frys came along out here. Best buy isn't even close to Frys either and I'm surprised they were able to survive while Comp USA didn't I really like Comp USA better then Best Buy in a lot of ways...

Give it a few weeks. It'll get better.

Man, I got really angry when last year they closed the St. Louis branches. The CompUSAs in my area were the closest places to buy Mac periphs and programs.
