The future doesn't look too bright for Sears holdings.
Yeah, that whole business model is about gone now really for a number of reasons. Heck, why buy anything other than building supplies anywhere when you can get everything from WalMart; and American products too!

My dad worked for Sears for many years, and I did specify the "good ol' days" b.t.w. Seems like he used to say that Samsung made a lot of their TVs around the late 70s or early 80s. I can testify that we got our first remote control big (for the time) screen floor model about that time and I finally kicked it to the curb about 5 years ago with no repairs ever. And most people know that Kenmore appliances are hard to beat. I don't who made them, but the refrigerators were bulletproof.
