 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.
