Repost for the morning crowd because I think its really interesting. Seriously, turns out it started out as a Circuit City idea and then was spun off in the early 2000's

My parents worked at Circuit City at about the time Carmax was started. Everyone was kind of like, why are we delving into cars again?

Because you can't walk into a dealership, sit in the car and play with all the features, and then go home and buy it online for 20% less.

I worked at Circuit City for a few years in high school/early college…and when they went under. Circuit City still exists online, they're owned by Systemax, more commonly referred to as Tiger Direct.

When I was in high school I used to love going to Circuit City. The one near me had a way more legit listening room for home stereo equipment than Best Buy and you could go in there and screw around for a pretty long time with nobody bothering you, surprisingly. I'd mess with the car stereo stuff too. I spent way too much time at Circuit City. Didn't buy all that much though. Maybe that's why they went out of business?
That location is now an H.H. Gregg .

I has a sad now.
CC used to do all my auto sound work.
subs, speakers, everything. Always had better options/prices than best buy.
