I will say the outfit here has a price match policy on the outdoor stuff. Probably on their appliances and other hardgoods too.
But looking at their store, they're done. I could look up their retail metrics, but they're done. The biggest player in the direct business for a ****ing century. Done.

One stat I liked when I was younger was that back in the day, Sears accounted for 1% of the US GDP. For every $100 spent in the US economy, $1 of that was spent at Sears. That is how big they were.
A few years ago, though, Wal-Mart was 2% of the economy, so I guess it's not quite as amazing as I thought.
