Title: Sears??? This is crazy
Post by: mikey813 on December 24, 2011, 05:21:02 PM
I am looking on Sears website and they got some 7,000 dollar each Jamo R 909s, Some Mordaunt-shorts, and epos. Here is a  link. I do not know if they have any amps. worth it though.

I've been looking at Sears again. I bought an $89 pair of New Balance shoes last week on sale for $46. They were the only store in the mall that had the Made in the USA version of New Balance shoes.

You see that those are all from third party sellers, don't you?   Sears is doing the Amazon thing.

man I did some crazy shit with the Sears card when I was young and stupid(er). you could buy half the store on credit and pay $80/month it seemed. they put a specially sick spin on revolving credit as a profit scheme for a department store,  or used to anyway,  maybe the rules are tighter these days.  I celebrated big when I finally paid them off and cut the card in two in 199X.    :'(
