Purchase By Systemax
On May 19, 2009, it was announced that the Circuit City brand name, logo, and website had been purchased by Systemax Inc. for US$14 million, which had also previously acquired the CompUSA brand after the store chain's liquidation. Systemax relaunched the circuitcity.com website on May 22, 2009, as an online retailer of consumer electronics. The revived site's front page looks similar to the original front page, while other pages have a similar appearance and flow of Systemax's CompUSA.com and TigerDirect.com's pages. It sells the same products as the TigerDirect and CompUSA sites.

Famous quotes containing the word purchase:
“We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey. The Constitution of the United States recognizes human slavery; and makes the souls of men articles of purchase and of sale.”
—Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842–1932)
