Enough people are willing to buy their merchandise?

It's crazy, I know... but just crazy enough to make sense.

What baffles me is that they never have good sales, have crappy selection and terrible prices. I too have never understood how this company remains in business.

FYE - For Your Entertainment. We have one in a mall not too far away, been in it once and never went in again, their prices were terrible.

Lets see....

Location..usually Malls.

WHo goes to malls? Teenagers.

Teenagers that know anything about money? A low amount.

I've been to one once or twice. They're basically Coconuts, right? Everything has a 5-15% markup.

The FYE by my house has absolutely insane deals on CDs. You can find gems for $5 :awe:

We had one at our mall, but it closed last year. I liked to peruse the merchandise, but I never bought anything there.

I remember going in there a few times. Prices on new releases were insane. Something like $17.99 while Circuit City would have them for $11.99.

They are a front operation. The real money is in the Thai girls the traffic with the help of joran van der sloot.

I don't buy it. Your average teen doesn't have much money. And most of them know how to get shit on the computer for free anyway.

Are you kidding me? Most teens do not have money, but they have parents that do and lots give them money without a question....

when i would roam the mall for hours in jr. high one store was always a mystery to me - GNC. nobody was ever in there, just the cashier. i'd walk by an hour later and still there were no customers. never knew how they stayed in business.

It's a decent place to buy CD's, they have a good selection too. I could get the same CD on Amazon for maybe a buck cheaper once you factor in shipping. Some CD's will actually be more when you factor in shipping.
