I Love Sundays!

 I really do love Sundays, its my favorite day of the week.  There's something quiet and peaceful about this particular day of the week.  I tend to slow down, refocus and breathe.  I also get to catch up with my internet browsing and spend time with J.  We normally go to church, have some lunch and watch movies or episodes on the DVR we've taped.  All in all, a very laid back day.  So on our laid back Sunday J. and I decided to go to Circuit City, just to check out their "Going Out of Business Sale".  Can someone tell me how this company is going to sell any merchandise when they've only marked it down 10-30%.  Most things like TVs, cameras & VCRs were only 10-15% off.  I suppose I just don't understand, I mean this company is in dire enough trouble to close all of its stores, so wouldn't you think that they would want to get rid of everything as quickly as possible??  I've worked in retail before and I know how much companies mark merchandise up.  A company could mark down stock close to 75% & still make a profit.  So I say to you guys out there in blogland, is 30% really enough to peak our interest in this time of economic uncertainty.  Nope, or at least I didn't buy anything and won't until they can truly mark it down to a point where I think they are serious about getting rid of it.   

Let me leave you with a picture of a home in 
Charleston that is now on the market for a cool 7.6 million dollars.....
