Sure I know about the K Mart merger deal, but yesterday I visited "my" Sears & things seem to be changing fast. There were "half off" signs everywhere. I bought a home blood pressure moniter for peanuts. Stuff looked so cheap that I almost purchased crap I don't really need.
2. Sears has been on a downward slide since the 60s or 70s as
discounters have taken over. I think KMart will be the lead and Sears will disappear. How the mighty have fallen. Sears never should have sold Allstate, Coldwell Banker and a few other things. Amazing number of mistakes over the years.
My daughter has been a sales person (appliances) at Sears working on commission and making about $ 65,000/yr for the past 10 yrs. She has 2 kids (one is handicapped) to support. I've tried for ages to get her to go into real estate, but to no avail.
10. Does this mean I should be checking out Sears this weekend?
I have a Sears Mastercard, but I never use it. It's been sitting empty for quite a while. They keep sending me coupons for $ off if I use the card at Sears.
I picked out a less expensive one that they didn't have in stock. Since they guarantee to have it in stock or to give you the closest model for the lesser expensive model's price, you can get a nice stove for nearly nothing.
The stove I was going to buy was 269.00 but they didn't have it in stock...the closest model they had in stock was 699.00 and they had to sell it to me for 269.00.
until I think 1987, maybe 88. I worked for them for quite a while. I left in 1986 and was lucky to sell what little stock I had in 87, before the big dip.
They're stuck with a lot of Xmas inventory. With the merger coming in March, they probably are deciding what products to get out of and getting inventories down to the least possible to make changeovers, whatever they are going to be, easier.
