All Your Circuit City Questions Answered

Posted in: sale, Today's Chili

I was sitting at my desk refreshing circuitcity.com’s temporary placeholder page, hovering like a vulture to see if there would be any crazy online deals, when instead, up popped a helpful FAQ page with details on the grim liquidation proceedings.

For example, yes, those gift cards you got for Christmas will be honored (a truly noble move for a Chapter-11 company). Yes, your extended warranties are still good. The company will offer HDTV home installations, but not car audio installations, during the liquidation sale.

These and many more helpful answers are to be found at circuitcity.com/closed.
