I did buy at lot of items from Sears, tools, hand and power, appliances etc.
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.
