If so what happened if not then why? Could you not get anyone to take it or did the lawyers say you were in the wrong??? Did you ever file a lawsuit against Circuit City?

It seems to me that under Ohio law you have a solid case against all three people involved in illegally detaining you, as well as Circuit City as a corporation. Your business, I realize. I just hope that it works for you to be as aggressive in the defense of your civil rights as possible; I can see how it might not (threats against your family, etc. by local Neanderthals). Here in Denver, Circuit City is holding a "going out of business" sale, so I guess it's for real - unless this is simply a gimmick for CC to unload all their inventory which has gone obsolete in the past eighteen months. It's amazing how many suck, er, customers will fall for "fantastic deals" on stuff that doesn't work as well as brand new gear that's cheaper. I've been less than impressed by the value Circuit City offers its customers for years. It's been five years since I've darkened their doors. I hope that their former employees find good jobs elsewhere, but frankly, Circuit City's business practices betray a multi-layered case of incompetence. Under our free market system companies are just as free to fail dismally as to succeed. A lesson our nation's banks ought to have learned.

This filing is more due to the credit crunch than anything--this is the time when retailers stock up big on inventory, but sales are typically slower while people wait for the holiday sales. Usually, banks and creditors are a little understanding with the credit extension to retailers, but not this year. This is a way to extend credit with Sony and HP, as well as renegotiate some lousy leases.
