By now most of you all know the whole company is closing up shop. I am wondering how much that matters in the greater scheme of availability of high tech goods. Other big box places with just scoope up the market share and in the end they may gain from it. We have a Circut City directly across the street from a Best Buy, same kind of store in size and goods. The only thing that may happen is that it could decrease competition in the long run, but in reality they never were much different in price as they went back and forth over a few dollars difference and most stuff had a difference of less than a dollar. In the background Walmart and Target will always be around to keep up the competition. I think we may just be seeing a thinning of the herd. In the end we may see an end to many bricks and mortar businesses as they go to something more like a portal where you can talk to someone who helps you order on line.
