Weekend Shopping.

Like a vulture preying on the dying and the dead, I descended on a Circuit City store hoping to find something I don't need but want at a bargain basement price. Was there any Blu-Ray players left, no. There were still racks and racks of DVDs and CDs. But they were hardly selling at a bargain even factoring in the 30% off store closing discount. A Dark Knight single disc was selling at more than $21, so at 30% off, it's almost $15. I can easily get the same price from Amazon though I couldn't get instant gratification. Then they had the cameras. I was able to find a Canon G10 on display. I played with it a bit. Despite the mixed reviews on noise and whatnot, I thought the camera is really well-built. It feels very solid and you feel like you can shoot with the thing--no battery couldn't test. But the sales person told me the model was sold out. I wonder if they would sell the floor model and at what price. A spanking new model is fetching around $417 (or $419) from a store in NJ. I ended up buying nothing from them. Perhaps next week they would have 70% off, that would be the time to buy.
