batmanuel,

You are correct, and I must agree, that these monkeys would ruin anybody with their high prices and poor service, but at some point most or some of these stores made money.

There are two that I use, the nearest one is usually empty and has a nearby OD.

The other is somewhat busy, has the packed highest revenue OD (#3) a block away and a new Staples a mile away.

Bad siting, bad execution, competition, and the economy doesn't need file cabinets flying out the door.

Have no idea how many employees per store (3-4?), but say 30, thats close to 4000 jobs. A minus, not a plus.

Thanks for your comments and greetings to the Night Crew.

I'll be visiting that store this weekend, it's about 10 minutes from us in SE Portland, Oregon.

I went by the Gresham store yesterday, the only truly hot deal I saw was an HP color laser printer for $150. That doesn't mean that there can't be more later on in the week, I will probably go again on Thursday or Friday.

There are none scheduled to close in Colorado, but I have fond memories of dumpster diving at the store near me. They now have an enclosed trash compactor, but I used to find office furniture, supplies and usable discards all the time.

I was at an OM today and asked if they will be having any sales before they close on March 4th. They told me most likely not because there is already a liquidation service hired to liquidate all the merchandise

Gresham Oregon one is not far from me either. I will prob have to hit it Friday. Maybe save enough $ to go to the RoadHouse afterwards

I will post Friday night if I end up going.

See you guys in Gresham Oregon on Friday the 3rd. If nothing else, I'll get to go to the CompUSA in Tacoma to see what the big deal is. Oooo maybe they will have another Compaq $149 computer sale that Sunday so I can get one for the family room.

This is just evidence that--location, location, location--is not the rule anymore.

If you get there before me I need: For my Dad, a CANON A520 Digital Camera because that's what Consumer Reports told him to buy, and an inexpensive plain paper FAX machine so I can send him mailing lables since he still refuses to get a computer; a land line phone with a headset plug-in and a good digital SLR at 50% to 75% off (store demo ok) for my wife; and a Kodak V570 Dual Lens Digital Camera for me at 50% to 75% off (store demo ok) plus Memory (SD cards, USB travel drives and sticks of PC3200).

Anyone need any Cowboy & Native American stuff from Pendleton, no they don't make the shirts here just wool blankets with Indian inspired designs.

Edit: No store demo on the CANON A520 for my Dad, just looking for a 50% to 75% off clearence price on this outdated camera.

Thanks
