Circuit City. It's baaaack!

I recently punched in circuitcity.com and discovered that they are back under new ownership as an online retailer only. The new owner is Systemax (SYX).

Prices and selection look quite good too.

Members should give it a look.

This other company bought the circuitcity.com name/site and is a totally different company.

the Circuit City brand is owned by Systemax, Inc.

They also own another failed brand you will remember....CompUSA

They also own Tiger Direct and Global Computer. They probably own other failed or failing brands - seems to be their business model. I guess they feed the orders to Tiger Direct, an internet direct vendor of computers and electronics for a number of years.

A CompUSA store just opened up in Altamonte, FL a few weeks ago.
