My "floor model" story involves a 6 disc CD changer I bought at Best Buy back in 2000. It was just a simple return, but since it wasn't in the original packaging, they couldn't sell it as brand new....and also, the installation was free.


Sidenote: Is this that Facebook thing that Bucky Chris was talking about when everyone has to tell their own similar story? :oops: :lol:

I thought Sears was closed



Soon. 8 consecutive quarters of $100 million+ losses. $400 million down the shitter in the most recent quarter.

They are picking up the pace of selling off assets and closing stores. Sears also owns K-Mart, which is similarly fucked.

Sears did try to move to an online/same day or quick delivery model, using its shuttered stores as mini-warehouses. But the store real estate tends to be too valuable for retail to use as warehouse space.

So now it's sell off the parts and use the cash from those sales to stay afloat; with the dim hope that somehow a moribund pair of brands--K-Mart and Sears--will catch internet lightning in a bottle and become profitable as online businesses.

Interesting profile of Eddie Lampert, the hedge fund dude who now runs Sears on the principles of Ayn Rand:

Eddie Lampert is a fucking buffoon.

Avoid Kenmore grills though. Don't know why I made that mistake.

I bought a Charbroil charcoal grill and I couldn't be less happy. I should have just bought the damn Weber. I'll be getting a Weber 22in. Kettle as soon as I have some time.

That being said if anyone wants a free 22in Charbroil charcoal grill it's yours.


I would go with the 29-inch kettle. The 22.5 inch model really is too small in many instances.

Weber doesn't have a 29 inch. The 26.5 inch would be the next step up but I'm thinking 22.5 would be fine for Darko's typical grilling needs.
