Honestly I'm not surprised.

Overpriced, dirty, disorganized....most of them near me closed before Christmas and I got some awesome deals on Blu-Ray and PS3 stuff.

Thoughts?

Be very careful of those markdowns.   The electronics stuff is generally marked up 30% so they can take 30% off.

I was able to pick up Blu-Ray movies and PS3 games for anywhere from $3 to $12 during their last days.  Hope I can find more stuff like that.

Dang!

We're losing the only place that price-matched Best Buy after Best Buy sold out of the items they were advertising. evilsad

When CC first started having trouble and closing stores, I was disappointed as I had all good experiences with the store. But, since then, all I've had was trouble. They gave me a really hard time when returning games and then they gave me empty cases when I bought new games with the credit. So, I say good riddance to them.

I'll miss them only for the ability to get at CC what I couldn't get at Best Buy when BB was sold out of their sale games.

I did a little homework, it's possible WalMart may price match BB, I'll have to try that the next time there's something on BB weekly ad that I wasn't able to get.

Target doesn't price match...bastards! evilsad

Wal-Mart will usually price match anyone with no problem. I've even had cashiers at Wal-Mart tell me something was on sale at another store and then give it to me for that price.

Another thought is to see about putting your name on the list for store fixtures.  I'd love to grab some of there display cases.
