I find it amusing that Bar1080 is still here... ok, Circuit City first it had far more going against it.. first 2008 economic outlook was bleak. they where over extended and never competetive with amazon or bestbuy.. best buy had bigger pockets that is why they are still around on a far smaller scale. Radio Shack was every where.. their business model was one of repair your own eletronics in a get the newest one era. they sold off brands that where crap. oh and these stores went out like 1080 did when 4k came out.and None had 5.2 billion buy out to save the company where the major share holder is the winning bidder..
