 My job at Comp was FAR from being perfect. But I will miss it very much. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

Apparently so. They said they're going to try to sell off all of their inventory before the end of the holiday season.

Went to a CompUSA today here in Houston to find some deals, and they weren't having any sales...
In fact, they're still offering the 'no interest until 2009' special. --------------------  QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Nov 16 2007, 09:22 PM) |

accounts like that will still probably end up in collections for the liquidation company, so i wouldn't bank on any kind of deals like that.

Yup. That's why there's such a push to get people to buy off of their CompUSA card. Once they get a CompUSA card, they're ineligible for a Best Buy card.

QUOTE (Epic @ Dec 8 2007, 10:09 PM) zetec...you have any inside scoop on the deals? i'm going to be building a new desktop soon so insider trading tips would be appreciated! Just got word from our liquidator today. Sales start on Wed. Also, ignore this week's ad. Most of those prices won't be honored. If you're planning on buying a desktop, buy one at the first sale. They probably will be gone before they go past 10 % as they're not very high markup items. I'll post more info as I get it. In the mean time, can anyone think of any other places to apply for a job? -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

He used to work at Best Buy when I was there, and our old manager is a manager at Circuit City now. I think you would be happier at Circuit City. There are a lot of cool people working there right now. You could run into this problem there though where they close down or something. Either way, hope the job search goes well.If you go into Circuit City, talk to Gabe. That's probably the guy Benny told you to talk to also. He is cool, and he is real laid back. I'm sure he could get you something. |
