Circuitcity hiring cheaper labor.

May be they should reinvent themselves like Target stores did against Walmart and Kmart. Push the higher-end lines of what consumer electronic lines BB or Walmart carry.

It will probably cost them in the short run due to cut in labor and merchandise, but in the long run they might find a place for themselves in the retailer market. The way they are going now by cutting out most experience salespersons will be the reverse of that. It will help them in short run, but will cost them in the long run.

That the people making those decisions are not concerned about the long-term benefits...they just want to make quick money and get out.

Their wish of "getting out" might come sooner than later the way they are going. BestBuy is slowing pulling the rug out under them becuase CC can not compete with BB in price and selections.

Recently went shopping for a computer monitor in BB, CC, CompUSA and Walmart stores, and BB prices were about $25 cheaper than its rivals. So BB got my business.
