That leaves Northern Ohio with two big box stores---BEst Buy and HH Gregg---and I have never been impressed by HH GRegg. But, as others have mentioned, therewill be a lack of competition, so prives probalby won't be low.

Im glad that you believe a company deserves to go bankrupt and throw 35,000+ including myself into unemployment when its not easy to find a job anywhere at this time, and our unemployment is astounding in the country. So by your thought, Chrysler deserves to do the same things and add over 100,000+ (on the extreme light side of numbers) to the unemployment list. Way to help the economy. Just because a company isnt the best or smartest does not warrant them to deserve to shut down. Other wise I could list about 15 companies who deserve it, starting with walmart and the 1.6+ million associates. I mean the place sucks and I dispise it so they deserve to shut down, screw the 106+ million associates, they will be like me! Just as ignorant as the people who came into our store while we were liquidating telling us stright to our face that we deserved to lose our jobs. Only difference is, I was actually allowed to grab them physically and throw them out of the store.
Second bolded line warrants assualt. You have no right to touch anyone, who do you think you are?

It's amazing how somebody can talk bad or not buy from a company and when they find out they are going out of business they get all happy about maybe getting a good deal. I worked for a place that was going out of business and people that normally didn't buy from us ( price shoppers that bought online and not thru us ) were now coming in and buying because of the discounts. I loved the people who came in and tell me as I am cashing them out " I just loved coming here and doing business and I can't believe you are going out of business. " 
I find it amazing, that your bad mouthing smart shoppers, yet if you ever got screwed $20 on equal merchandise you'd be in here whining, just like anyone would.
If you have good service and track record, you can charge more. If you have **** service, you'll only survive if you offer low prices. Don't get mad at your country when it was the big wigs steering the boat into iceburgs.

So people shouldn't get the best bang for their buck?

About 14 years ago, when my son and daughter were about 2 and 3, my wife and I and the kids were in a local Circuit City looking at some speakers for my Toyota pickup. It was very close to closing time, and there were very few people in the store. My kids were being kids...running around, playing with each other. You know, being kids. The manager on duty, instead of coming and saying something to us about the kids, he proceeded to yell at my children. Now, my kids may not be the best behaving kids in the world, but there were always good kids.My wife went off on the guy and we left the store without buying anything.
Fast forward to the present. It's been 14 years and we haven't spent a dime in Circuit City. I told my wife about Circuit City going out of business. She said that even though she may not be personally responsible for the downfall of that company, she's satisfied that she did her part.

Let me add that we own A LOT of electronics. I have probably spent better than $20,000 at Best Buy during that same period of time. I'm glad to see Circuit City go. Many may say that by losing another player in the game, Best Buy is getting closer to a monopoly. Well, in today's market, the internet will always keep brick and mortar stores honest.

Who am I? The one who physically threw a bastard being a *** hole to not only my fellow associates, but customers into the hands of the local PD who actually said I handled the situation best. Assault my ***. Dont be a **** to numerous people and ya wont get tossed. And im sure if it were assault, I would have been cuffed. But alas I didn't, Signed the police report, shook their hand, and went about my business.

You think you're so badass. You weren't charged because the person you touched didn't press charges. Unless you're defending yourself, you don't have any right to touch anyone else.
All I can see is some high-strung punk working in a retail store.
Maybe nows the time to join the force, since you're being thrown out into the street by your beloved local CC!

What the **** is wrong with you guys ? Another big chain closing is not going to do nothing for us and just leave more people without jobs. I can understand if an individual store pissed you off and that you wish they would close. This is a whole chain of stores nationwide closing people. Sure the internet keeps local stores somewhat honest but last time I checked the places that sell things online don't pay their employees that well and I don't see many of them advertising they are hiring.
