COMPUSA closing sale

[chikinini]

check it out maybe you will find some treasures. 20%-50% off

Tanforan mall in San Bruno, CA

I think it's behind San francisco airport

[KollunZ]

I was at the tanforan compusa in december, and they had NOTHING good there. Half the store was already empty.

[annaconda]

50% off on what ?

[vengence]

When I went in to a Comp USA a fwe weeks ago, they had 30% off of everything. What the had left was AFTER DISCOUNTS, almost down to every day prices at the egg. Small wonder why these guys are going out of buisness.

[darktiger]

When they had the 10-30% off I bought some ilford paper for 22.99 + 20% off. Funny thing is that when I went last week they RAISED the price of the paper to 24.99 and had 30% off. I wonder why they raised the price of the paper a additional $2. I am glad they are going out of business.

[cnick79]

I went to the one by me on Saturday and the only 50% items I saw were customer returns. I saw some nice previously loved power supplies: 800w (http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2937372&CatId=2496), cooler master (http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2597970&Sku=B52-3000) and some others. Also Vista Home Upgrade (http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2765084&CatId=306). I purchased a Monster Cable PowerLine 100 3.65m (12 ft) Detachable Power Cord Extension Cable for $10. Not sure if it was a deal or not but I needed it.

[eddie500]

I wouldn't expect to find any deals, I remember the store out near me that had a store closing sale. Everything was gone, and the stuff that was left was so overpriced. I remember a laptop with missing keys and a screwed up (mostly unuseable) LCD screen to boot. IT was still selling for over 2500 dollars. I couldn't believe it.

[annaconda]

I am surprise they are still selling stuff. :D

[ps3guru03]

in my opinion, compusa has the worst closing sale in the history of store closings....just went there yesterday, and most things were still overpriced...

[gregnash]

Went to the local Reno, NV ChumpUSA to see what they had and there was $%(* there. Fiancee had me all excited because she thought they had a stellar deal on their last Sammy 4061 listed at $1699 with sale price of $1274, then I pulled up Newegg on my phone and showed her that it sells for $1299 brand new in box at most places and can be had for much cheaper elsewhere.... Bah they have some of the single most horrible pricing.

[motolube]

Went to the Dadeland (Miami, Florida) just for giggles and there's nothing our of this world but I did find that ALL PSU's are at 40% off. Perhaps not Boiling Hot but good enough to warrant the post Video Components are also at 40% off..

BFG 650w PSU $ 149.99 - 40% = 90 bucks (+ tax for some of us)

Cheapest I have found in pricegrabber is 124.

http://computers.pricegrabber.com/power-supplies/m/18659836/search=BFG+650w+power+supply/nkw=bfg+power+supply+650

[tuksonrider]

If anyone is in the Tucson, AZ region....

They have 2 Corsair HX 620W for $108 + tax.

[infamus]

in bakersfield ca they have motherboards and CPU's for 40% off

got me a p5k deluxe wifi-app for 160 out the door.

[SC385]

the store in Greenville, SC has had about 20 AMD Pheonom 9500s for about $200 for the past few weeks without any getting sold. If they drop by 25-50% then I'll buy one or two. The only other thing I'm keeping my eye on is the Corsair HX620 power supply for $100. And maybe some of the ATI 2400 if they drop the prices to a sane level soon.

[Dishpointer]

The only other thing I'm keeping my eye on is the Corsair HX620 power supply for $100.

The Augusta, GA store has 6 of these at $110. If they go down some more I will get one, otherwise they can be had cheaper online without the tax.

[Jeff Rage]

We have two in the area that are closing. It seems that all the good stuff is only 20% off retail price. Which isn't as good as a sale.

The Corsair PSUs at 40% off seems to be the best deal. I would have bought one if thery hadn't sold out.

Magazines were 50% off! :D

[sequoia]

There is nothing good in my area. I just got lucky that they have open box Q6600 G0 for $185 :) :) Finally I have the final puzzle of my new build.... Now looking for a good deal for 8800 GT or GTS

[Manaknight]

got an zalman 7000b for 20 bucks out the door, a x-fi xtrememusic for 40, and the xfi mod thing for 40, not bad overall, apparently these were in the "as-is" stuff though the xmod wasn't even opened *shrug*

[Seven]

Tonight I got a CompUSA branded wireless-g router for $2 (not a typo). It's used, but came with the documentation (small booklet and CD). I figured it would be broken but the only thing wrong with it that I've noticed was that it's missing a power adapter, and the default password had been changed. The manual didn't say how to reset it to factory - holding the reset button for a few seconds did the trick. It just so happened I was in need of a switch, so that's all I'm using it for at the moment (I've got a WRT54G).

Also got an open-box (but everything included) Nokia headset for $24:

[bfellow]

I went to one of the stores yesterday and it has (30-50% off almost everything. The Phenom 9500 was on "sale" for $180 instead of $250?!? and X2 4000+ was $100.

They even have a 1900XTX was "only" at $300 and 8800GTX was still at $650. Blu-ray players (Samsung BD-1400 and Sharp) were on "sale" for $400. I swear everything was ridiculously overpriced to begin with.


2400s and 2600s were still on the shelves for around $100-$150.
Games were usually $30-$50 with 30% off afterwards.
Remaining LCD TVs were still ridicoulously overpriced even wtih %30 off

[MC FLMJIG]

I have to agree with most people.

WAY overpriced.

[alco23]

I think we've already established how overpriced they are in the last three or so threads.... ;)

Anyone searching for a 30" Gateway xhd 3000 should head in there now. Now $1189 down from $1699. But the less than flattering posts in the Display forum has held me off this buy.

This is funny b/c I saw ONE lying in middle of one of their hallways with no sale tag on it.

[annaconda]

Are they still selling stuff ?

[NTJedi]

Are they still selling stuff ?

Yes, I'm sure the cost of each store location, utilities, security, employee pay/turnover is really eating away at most of the money from their out of business sales.

[annaconda]

good GOD, they should have put 80% off long time ago.

[Joetib]

good GOD, they should have put 80% off long time ago.

That would be the happiest day to buy obviously not gonna happen :p

[gregnash]

LOL walked in this weekend and saw the same damn LNT-4065 sitting there but with a new price of 1189 (was 1289 three weeks ago)... at this rate it will be a good price in about two months!!!

[jonnyGURU]

The sales are going to suck primarily because anything that CompUSA could return for credit was returned to the manufacturer/distributor.

All that's left is product that CompUSA can't even return. Most of it is probably old and has a high cost on it.

[Toolboxx]

Stopped in the store in Des Moines tonight and picked up a Corsair HX620 for $85! Whoa!
$169.99-50%

I couldn't believe it...finally a good deal!! It was the last one they had though... rest were Antec & Coolermaster 850 & 1000's PSU's.

All PSU's are now 50% off...or maybe you could be lucky & grab an 8800GT for 40% off = $180.

[hity645]

The store in Portland is almost cleaned out. They have tons of copies of Vista Home Upgrade and retail. All Ultimates sold out. And they were only 20% of when they did...blah. All I wanted was Ultimate Retail for 40-50% off.

[CrimandEvil]

in my opinion, compusa has the worst closing sale in the history of store closings....just went there yesterday, and most things were still overpriced...
A friend of mine just bought a printer from them, it was 30% off ($180) and it was still $50 more then it is at Newegg. :rolleyes:

[wjogert]

After waiting, and waiting, I finally went out to the only Comp USA in my area... Nashua, NH.

Sign outside said "70%-90% off" and "Final Days". Lucky me to stumble in on the last day they would be open! LOL!

Well, there certainly wasn't much. Just a few shelves with random crap.

I grabbed some PC133 for $7.00 each. Got 3 different Guild Wars games for $15.00 each. VGA cooler and a SK939 cooler, both copper, each less than $10.00. That's about it.

[Regular Daddy]

I wish some of the laptops would go for 90 percent off.

[The Avalon]

One of the CompUSA's here in Manhattan had the P182 for $119 i believe.

[Joetib]

well... i live close to 2 compusa checked the one i rarely go to and they are by 60% on some stuff...... lcd-plasma tvs are now 40% furniture-tv stands are 60% and they still have lots of em so maybe they might drop 50% soon and that would be a really good deal.

[ereshkigal]

Yesterday was the last day for my local Compusa. 99% off, walked out with soem accessories and a hp laptop for a grand total of $5.28.

DAMN! Only PC in my store was a Systemax server, listed at $1500.00 and 50% off. That was actually 2nd to last day, not THE last day as I previously stated.

Also, I got home and started checking my deals against current online prices. I didn't do that great after all. Guild Wars games were overpriced by $10-$15, so even at 70% off, the deals were OK, not great. I had to laugh when I realized that each item had like 3 or 4 price tags, stacked. I started peeling them to see the progression of pricing. Not to my surprise, all the original tags were blotched out with Sharpie before the new price tag was affixed.

They certainly wanted to hide the fact that they were marking UP the prices, before the sales.

Guess I shoulda' gone back the next day. Wonder if my store did 99% off? Oh well.

[Rattle]

anyone been to any of the tampa area stores latley ?

[Jeff Rage]

We were in the area close TO CompUSA, and saw guys standing in the median strips with samwhich boards announcing the last days of the store. Stuff in now 40-60% there. THis one will be closing in 12 days. The only thing I bought was 2 magazines.

[EbolaBunny]

In the Minneapolis area, the COMPUSA closest to the Mall of America is completely shut down for good.

[ILuvFlight]

Columbus Ohio one shut down as well.

[wjogert]

Noticing that someone bought the CompUSA.com website and is operating it as a "new and improved" outlet... nothing like capitalizing on the established name...:rolleyes:

I believe it was tigerdirect that bought them out.

[wjogert]

I believe it was tigerdirect that bought them out.

From website footer:
CompUSA.com now a Systemax company

Is Systemax a subsidiary of TigerDirect? LOL.

[bfellow]

1 of our last 2 Houston offices is closing in 12 days. It sold 4 brand-new Blu-Ray players but still has 3 floor ones. The Sony is $500 while the Sharp and Samsung BD-1400 are selling at $300. This is kind of absurd since Fry's has new BD-1400s for $300 not the 10000 hours used ones.

[siliconnerd]

Systemax is the parent company of TigerDirect.

[wjogert]

Ahhh, yeah that makes sense.

Noticed they are using my previous email subscription to CompUSA, and now sending me their own "special deals". It'll be interesting to compare TD's weekly email to CompUSA's. I won't expect anything any better then TD would offer, and I'll expect all CompUSA sales to include MIR. :rolleyes:

[the Jones]

Well here's the stuff I've bought so far:

1. Ipod Applecare - $24 (60% off)
2. Palm Treo Charger $1
3. HP Ipaq 510 $129 (60% off)
I needed a world phone for some overseas travel. This is probably going on ebay when I get back.

I'm still watching the GPS systems the keyboards -- might pick up a GPS if they get to 60 or 70%

My store (Knoxville) has 11 days to go.

[Regular Daddy]

Oh whatever :rolleyes:

[mrtyphoon]

As of today, the local CompUSA in Houston (Royal Oaks) is 7 days from closing. The last time I checked last week, items were 40-60% off. I'm sure it's now 50-70% off.

So far, I've purchased:
Creative Xmod - $48
Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones - $35
320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (bare drive) - $35
iPod Bluetooth adapter - $12
Pinnacle Vista Media Center remote kit- $20 (this was bought towards the beginning of the clearance)

If power supplies hit 60% off (which I'm sure it has by now), then I might pick up an Antec Earthwatts.

[JCDenton]

God, I hate the tools at my Compusa. They still have PSUs at only 40% off and they're ridiculously marked up to begin with. So like, a PSU that you could get at Newegg for $120 regular price with no rebates, they have for 40% off of $250....ie $160. I'm glad that they're going out of business, they were a worthless store that sold overpriced garbage to retards who didn't know any better.

This is the same one I was talking about! What a coincidence. Now i'm going to see if any more Creatives are left

[w1retap]

I'm down here in Jacksonville, FL for spring break, and they just turned the CompUSA here into a Tigerdirect. w00t! I'm going there later on this week to pick up some goods.

[Penguincomp]

I picked up an Antec 1KW PSU for 140.00 the other day.

[Joetib]

Well my compusa closes the 28th so theres 3 days left and most of the stuff is 50-60%.... any chances they will go over 80% the last day? or will they just keep all the stuff they have.... at least on mine theres still plenty of stuff to get im waiting for price drops on 2 gb Kingston ddr2 1066 its aa 50% but i compared prices to newegg and its $30 cheaper on newegg ($110 on compusa with 50% $80 newegg with no discounts) just WOW. They still have like 12 packs of them.... so im hoping they go alot lower

Would like someone that was on compusa on its last day to post.. just to know if its worth it for me to go wednesday/thursday since they rarely drop prices at all

PSU's are 50% off now and store is 50-70% off. Only worth noting is Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-ray player is $270 now. Alot of Creative X-Fi Sound cards still around (50% off).

[the Jones]

Does anyone know what the maximum discount is when the stores close?

I mean on the last day will stuff actually get up to 90%?

[GregP24]

I browsed my local Compusa Saturday. Even at 40-60% off, I can still get most things cheaper online.

my bro got his 1400 at Fry's for 275 bux...

[Fujimitsu]

Just picked up an 850w coolermaster for $95.

Not too shabby, although after MIR you see em for this sometimes.

X-FI fatality edition (the one with onboard RAM) is $60

[bufodr_T]

i bought 2 epson canon ink jet printers for 25 each and picked up kane and lynch and sega rally revo for 60 combined for my ps3. lex ky

[RangerXML]

Goleta, CA....6 days to go. Some of my customers are going upgrade happy, I really don't have the heart to tell them how badly they are getting ripped off. Atleast the 50% PSU is a deal.

[postalcop]

The last one to close near me closed on Sunday. They had 70-90% off everything. I picked up Vista home basic for $13, a non-working 17" Toshiba laptop with 2gb memory, 120gb hd, built in webcam and Vista for $322, an Epson R280 printer for $20, 100ft cat5 cable for $15, netgear wpn824 wireless router for $10, and a Micro keyboard for $2. I also picked up one of their store desktops and 15" monitor for $25. It has a 1.8 ghz Intel cpu, cd-rom drive, 40gb hd, 512mb memory and floppy drive. I put xp pro on it but was thinking about putting the Vista home basic on instead.
They had the laptops at 50% off the second to last day, all non-working but under warranty. I took my laptop to a Toshiba authorized dealer on Monday and they said I should get it back in 3-5 business days. The retail on it was $750. On the last day, the laptops were gone about 40 minutes after they opened.
All in all, it was worth me going on the last day, especially for getting the laptop. I had also picked up a canon mp600 scanner/printer for $47 the week before. It was a display model but it works great.

[Joetib]

thanks thats the post that i needed tomorrow is second to last day so i'll be goin both days...i saw some good stuff still left.

[Joetib]

WOW.. i just went there and its second to last day and most stuff are still 40-50% 10 boxes 8800 GTS 640mb at 50% ... i mean they're not gonna do 70-90% like on other stores? thatss messed up i hope the last day they go up because theres still good stuff left... now i did noticed they were packing up some stuff to take them to the warehouse.. its funny you can't get decent deals on a store closing sale now thats messed up... only in compusa

[CEpeep]

I'm considering going Thursday after dinner to my local store. I'm not sure when they close, but I guess I'll call tomorrow and find out. I'm looking for some blank DVD DL media and I might be able to get some at a decent price if they've got it marked down.

[SC385]

good luck with that CEpeep. I went monday and the 100 packs of sony dvd-rs were $35

[thelead]

Its not worth the drive really, I went today to the Orlando store during lunch only to find crap marked up 20-30% then "marked down" 60%... They also had a broken 23" sharp lcd display from last year selling for $300+... good luck selling that!

[DrewRosenHouse]

an individual i talk to on xfire said he got a 8800gt for $30 marked down 90% at a california store, i dont really believe him that just seems too cheap. i asked him to take a pic of the receipt for me and he denied having a digital camera available. he claims he built a whole pc for $500, C2D, 4GB Dominator 1066, 8800GT etc....

[postalcop]

I got my Toshiba P205-S6267 laptop back from the Toshiba dealer on Wed. It works great. It had a bad motherboard. I'm glad I went to Compusa on their last day.

[aznknife]

4 weeks ago I had picked up a 360 core for $100. It was $200 and then 50% off. It was open box, but worked great.:cool: I went 2 weeks ago and got a 8800GTS 320MB for $80. After it was 70% off. Store is in Manhattan. No idea if it shut down, I live 2 hours away from NYC.:rolleyes: Other then the 8800 and the 360, all the other stuff was shit. They were selling a Samsung T65F46 for $2.4k. If anyone buys that they got ripped badly, I bought a Samsung T65F52 for $2.4k at the egg 3 months ago. BTW 46 is 46" 52 is 52"

[wjogert]

I went 2 weeks ago and got a 8800GTS 320MB for $80.

Dang... I wish my store had ANY deals even close to that. Heck I woulda' snatched up an 8800 for that price!!

[gregnash]

Damn well mine shut down last weekend... Checked it out and the best thing they had was some Microsoft K/M combo that they normally sold for $220 was on sale for $100... other than that I got Jeanne D'Arc for the PSP for $15... but that was it they really didnt have shit..

[Gott]

Did anyone happen to buy a cashier lane? The store near me was selling the cashier number lamps, the desks, the signs, pretty much everything in the store.

[SC385]

No, but I was going to buy one of the glass display cases but it was already sold.

[Apallohadas]

Anyone know if the store in NYC is still open?

[sprtnbsblplya]

All stores are completely closed, aside from the ones that TigerDirect took over, which will be different once reopened than the CompUSA we were used to.
