Note: We have
separate pages for "Computers" and for "Home / Business Security" and there are electronics items also
shown in our "Discounters / Outlets" pages. Also see "Discounters, Outlets in Los Angeles" for Bulldog
Liquidators and their discounts on TVs and computers and home electronics.
Remember the "good old days" when Circuit
City would battle it out with LA Tronics, and Best Buy, and Good Guys, and department stores had big electronics sections.
Well, those days are over. But you can still get some deals and best buys. Shop around, and check our various
pages such as "Computers" and "Discounters, Outlets" to find the deals.
BEWARE: A TRICK IN THE TV BUSINESS
Update August 4, 2011 If you go shopping for a new TV beware this trick that many stores
use: they put lower quality, lower priced TVs right next to the higher priced TVs with better-- but more expensive-- pictures.
As you look at the various pictures a salesman is likely to point out the differences between the picture of the budget model
TV and the higher priced model right next to it. But remember this: when you get home, your TV will not be side-by-side
with a higher priced model. So concentrate on the model you want to buy and ask yourself "is this picture good
for me?" Don't make the mistake of asking yourself "do I want to pay more for that better picture?"
When you look at a higher priced TV with a better picture you might be falling into the retailer's "comparison trap"
that's designed to make you spend more.

BULLDOG LIQUIDATORS HAS PERSONAL, PORTABLE HD TV
Update October 25, 2010Bulldog
Liquidators is one of my favorite places to shop because you don't know what deals will be arriving on any given day.
Bulldog is at 8933 Winnetka Avenue in Chatsworth and now carries an assortment of new and refurbished personal and
travel size TV and DVD players, including portable high definition TVs. And these personal HD TV units have their
own antenna so you do not need to be wired in. These Hi-def TVs are truly portable with the antenna and no need to be
connected to a cable system. The price is great too. There are brand new 9" portable LCD TV units with an
antenna priced at only $149.99 and these retail for $249.99. They can be plugged in or you have a three hour battery
life for portable use.
There
are also refurbished DVD players that are a tremendous value. A 9" Philips portable DVD player is $99 and that
is about $60 less than what you would pay for a new unit. I like refurbished because these come with a warranty, they've
been checked over and repackaged at the factory, and are a great value. The 7" portable DVD player by Philips is
only $74.99.
Bulldog
also has a two-pack for the car. You get two DVD players with 9" screens that can operate independently or they
can watch the same DVD. They strap onto the backs of seats so passengers in the rear can watch their favorite movie.
These plug into the cigarette lighter or you can use the three hour battery. These are refurbished and you get both
DVD players and all the hardware and straps for only $199.99 and these retail for about $250.
Bulldog also discounts full size high definition TVs as well
as TV wall mounts. Bulldog is famous for its low prices on TV wall mounts including those that tilt and those with "full
motion" capability. There is also a deal on refurbished XBox systems and these also come with a warranty.
Call them at (818) 407-1293. We have other reports about Bulldog below on this page and also on our "Discounters,
Outlets in Los Angeles" page.

CRAZY GIDEON'S
HAS CLOSED ITS ELECTRONICS STORE... BUT HE'S STILL SELLING
After 35 years, Crazy Gideon's has closed the business with a going out of
business auction at 830 Traction Avenue in downtown Los Angeles. But, as you might
imagine, not everything sold in the auction, and so Gideon still has leftovers to sell. The leftovers include camcorders,
microwaves, home theaters, hi-fi stereos, plasma, LCD and projection TVs and they are in all sizes. Also, over 40 pallets
of mixed merchandise is for sale at pennies on the dollar and this is for someone who wants to set up their own liquidation
business. There are also store fixtures in case you want to set up your own store or warehouse. Gideon told me
that he wants to remain in the wholesale business and wants to broker high end, luxury autos including Bentleys, Rolls Royces,
Mercedes and other luxury models. His downtown store and warehouse is likely to be leased out or used for his other
businesses. Get these leftovers while they remain. Everything is sold as-is.
Gideon said to me, "get me out of business... please!
Take my stuff so I can finally close the doors."
Crazy Gideon's, 830 Traction Avenue, downtown Los Angeles.
Call (213) 625-5775. Below are some of the videos and reports I did for Crazy Gideon's over the past couple of years.
Here are some TV commercials that I recorded for
Crazy Gideon's. The first one had his June 2009 specials.
