An old Circuit City ad from the 80′s
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Goodbye to Circuit City Store 3637 Michigan, One of the 155 stores closing November 2008.
Video Rating: 5 / 5
25 inch TV for $277 at 0:24, I bought my Sharp 42 inch High def flat screen TV for that same price and its bigger and better than that old ugly box TV haha.
LOL! Packaged Hell computers! Anyone remember those horribly defective monsters?
And if you’re from abroad and had to „go home“ to [try to] finish college in May 1994, you’d have to be rich to even have a 386 w/ Win3.1, the way some import markets work. I’m still pissed at how I had to write my papers on an effing 286 and WordStar thanks to my tech-clueless dad. Frack!
wow 1099$ for a 486 33MHZ MEGA DEAL rolf now today peoples complain that they can not get a laptop all installed with windows for 329.99$ …
In 1998 I and my cousin bought our first computers when we were little there the were Compaq’s and they ran windows 98 on a Pentium iii and a nVidia Graphics card! Aaaa i miss the 90′s.
@boonya2 but its not real CC they got bought out. (of course lol). . their basically another company selling stuff now . but at least they kept the name
@AkitoJr It is just a reeeeaaaalllly long offer =)
To OP:
this commercial is from the the 90s not the 80s.
the part where they explain 0% finance show the offer ends 5/14/1994
But CC still lives on circuity dot com
It’s like they’re advertising the -remote- being 25“. Miss Circuit City though, was kind of depressing to see it go.
@Hunkola Then you remember when a 386 „with Math co-processor“ was $3000?
Wow 33 MHz! No way! Not only that, but they throw in the monitor too! All for just 1100 dollars!!
So glad they went out of business. Terribly expensive and terrible customer service.
if i’m not mistaken back in the 80′s circuit city commercials had a guy playing an organ that sounded spooky
I’ve never seen this commercial before and I knew they were going to try to sell me a Packard Bell. What terrible machines.
Circuit City deserved to die, I worked there just after they fired all of their knowledgable career salesmen that the thought made too much money, and then hired teenagers to replace them for shit pay to run the store at half the number of original staff. It did nothing but piss off customers who had to wait forever for help from one of the 2 employees per department, and then only to find highschoolers weren’t paid enough to care about learning the product. Welcome to modern corporate retail.
Weird add
This is nostalgic. Now hello Best Buy.
@ManOfMeans Same here if I can remember this vividly too.
LOL, Packard Smell.
$1,100 for a 486SX computer —- FUCKIN’ HILARIOUS…..I remember those days
@DisneyBlackJet Yes, that’s how much computers were „back in the day.“ Mine was an IBM PS/2 and I paid $1299 for it „without“ the monitor.
Commercial is from 1994 (according to the financing date). I had a computer close to the PB one from November 1993.
Silly commercial. They sucked later on though.
R.I.P Circuit City
LOVED IT!! Definitely made me tear up. I still cant watch my own video I made without tearing up. Great times.
Shadiest store ever and most drugged out associates!!
haha… they’re owned by tigerdirect now lolz….. but whether they treated their shoppers like crap (in my situation) or whether their shoppers were crap (@duckonthewall) it all depends on the branch…
Amen!! They would act as if it was some great favor to ring up your items.. „excuse me!?! …but, if it’s not too much trouble, could you PLEASE do your dayum job?“ …
THEY FAIL!!!!
their shoppers were crap.
Circuit City treated their shoppers like crap. I’m glad they’re gone.
probably some of the best times of my life. t-time bryan, stang, d-rail, mike, and noah. fuggen hated that place but loved my job. rode that bitch for 2 years. every second excellence. i love everyone of you guys.
peace!
anday.
I bought my classic wii controller from your store about 6 months before well you know it closed sorry man I know how it is out there just keep trying best buy target hell even meijer across from the great lakes mall !
depressing…… 3668
Duckonthewall what work did you do? Probably nothing we all know that B-hop, D-rail and T-time did all the work in the store.
Best of luck to you all. It was a blast working with all of you. Loved everyday of it.
I will miss each of you.
3637 !
I agree with everyone thats gonna miss CC… its so sad to see ur store close… specially if U Closed it… CC was a great work place… we were like a family…
check my video from store 3319 in Bellevue Wa…
I almost died inside one of their warehouses thanks to a faulty picker ( a fancy forklift for those of you who don’t know) and they never so much as showed an ounce of remorse or consideration towards me in light of what happened. We as employees were fortunate to be employed I mean the benefits were great but some of our managers seriously need a reality check. Good luck to those of you who lost your job I will be praying for you.
Ya… it’s not the same, miss all you guys. – Broda
I will miss all you guys. these were great time in my life…..bitch
Your right, that is my mistake.
We wanted to have a good time?
great stereotyping. i got in a car crash going to work one day, i still went in and smiled to everyone and did what i could. My turn to stereotype, great to know people like you don’t care about anyone else losing jobs.
because we didn’t really care? Everyone is losing they’re jobs. bitch.
Fuck those who bitch about customer service. When you come up with dumbshit questions of course we are gonna laugh at you. Now 34,000 of us are loosing are jobs so i still say FUCK YOU!
I will definitely miss circuit city they were the best.
why the hell are they smilling they are out of jobs….bitch
Things with 10% off are still much expensive than they are at other places. It’s hard not to go out of business. Find a new job, friends.
It’s weird because something that big can just go away forever it’s sad i got my vomputer from there not 2 years ago… =’(
