Will Circuit City Live on Online?

Anyone miss Circuit City yet? For those of you that do, you may be in luck. Sort of. While the bankrupt electronics chain won't be making a brick and mortar comeback anytime soon, it appears Circuit City has some kind of future planned online. Going to Circuit City's website now reads:
"CircuitCity.com is also temporarily closed, although we anticipate the website will reopen in the coming weeks. Please check back for updates."
What exactly the former chain has planned so far remains a mystery. News site TGDaily notes that calls made to the company's office in Richmond, Virginia have gone unanswered, and without any kind of statement from Circuit City or its liquidator, that leaves the online message as the only clue we have to go on.
Circuit City did everything it could to avoid going out of business earlier this year and last year, including closing down over 150 stores and cutting 20 percent of its workforce. But it was unable to find a buyer and, following a controversial liquidation sale, closed its doors for good last March.
Newegg or Amazon

I'm afraid it will be just as redundant as the brick and mortar stores were for me. If they had been competitive Best Buy would have never gotten as big as they are and they'd probably still be in business.
Believe it or not

We did actually have a buyer. He wanted to cut most of the stores leaving the "core". The reason we went into liquidation was because one company wanted their money asap, and the checks wouldn't have cleared for a few weeks. I disliked the store, but I enjoyed working for Firedog. I knew what I was doing and I made some great relationships with customers and fellow employees. If a CCity website shows up online, chances are I'll keep my business with Newegg. :-P
take care!
Oh shit, I hope not!!
