I got a "deal" at Circuit City's liquidation. This switch was $43 at Circuit City, $7 less than Newegg retail. ($3 more than Newegg after MIR... but screw MIR.) Still, that's after "25% off", and if you need to take 25% off to get back down to a normal price, do you wonder why you're going out of business?

Side note: I didn't just go there to wander; I actually needed a switch on short notice. I saw the 8-port gigabit D-Link with no price tag, and an 8-port 10/100 Linksys for $33. Of course there were literally no employees on the floor to do a price check (which is how I knew I was at Circuit City), and only one check stand open with a decent line (again, Circuit City), so I just took both up to the register. I asked her to check the price on the gigabit switch, she told me the price, I made my decision and asked her to take the other one. She gave me an evil eye. I did not feel guilty in the slightest.
