Anybody work at circuit city that can help me out? My local store, Fairfax, VA, has got some ridiculous prices and I would like to take advantage of the deals I hear about but I don't know how to go about it. One thing is that the RTi150's, which I hear are going for as low as $150 each in some of your local stores, are $629 EACH for OPEN BOX at my circuit city. WTF is that about? And they won't even tell me when they are putting them on sale. Also, I am wondering when the new H/K's will come in, and when I can get a good deal on the AVR-525. If anybody sees the H/K on sale for some ridiculous close out price (~$400) particulary from those NC people (where it seems the best deals are and the shipping would be fairly cheap) send me a note, maybe we can work out a deal where I will pay shipping and a finders fee

    Ceruleance,

    It's simple, we live in one of the wealthest areas of the country, why should CC discount squat?

    You act like the Circuit City employees know when there are going to be sales. You would be wrong. Their sales start on Sundays, and if the employess are lucky, they'll know what's on sale at 8pm the night before.
    Same goes for new items coming in. If it's not in-route to the store from their warehouse, any timetable they give you is just a guess.
    And if a pair of RTi 150's went for $150 each, there was definitely something wrong with them.

    I don't think anyone got them for that price, maybe one... I paid 245.00 each, and that was rock bottom from what i understand.. any lower their not even getting their cost back.. not that i care about that, But id say 225.00 - 260.00 would be the lowest you might find, by now most stores are out of the towers, all my CC's are out of rti70's and they never even discounted them, and 150's are all but gone, Have fun finding any.. But good luck

    That's alright about the 150's, I really wouldnt even know where to use them anyways, but if anyone wants to take me up on that HK-525 offer let me know if they see the sales

    I got the RTI150 for $209 each. Even though this is the floor display model, it is still one hell of a deal. :D
