Saw it at Techbargain.

Not sure if it's belong here but I have to let everyone knows if ones order something from. Rumor has it 800.com is closing. If you have any gift certificate, use them now!

It'll be missed, great comp.!

Sorry to hear that...they had decent prices and got the order to you quickly...

800.com is one of the finest online-only electronics merchants...despite their mostly high-priced merchandise, there were some good engineered deals that many of us got in on

Belongs here: Off-Topic

eventhough this doesn't belong here, I still think it's a useful thread.

Well I guess my brother did make a good decision when he left that job.

Rumor has it 800.com is closing. Most of the staff laid off yesterday, the rest being escorted out the door as I write this. I think the "official" day is February 22.
When: 2/15/2002

They sure were a great company. I remember once when I ordered some DVDs from them, I got a spiffy little notepad and a free bag of popcorn to enjoy with my movies. Spiffy!!

remember their 3 DVDs for $1 deal. oh man, those were the days...

just looked at the website... they had a whopping 2 DVD players, 1 portable CD player, and 0 receivers available. Looks pretty bleak...

I would also like to pour out a little liqour for the dead 800.com. I will also vouch for the great company they were. They used to be my favorite place to get DVDs and had a great looking site with great customer service. I remember when they first opened, I got 3 DVDs for $1.00. It was The Fifth Element, Pulp Fiction, and The Saint. It was an incredible deal! They will be missed.
