According to the Circuit City's website, the business began as a hometown store in 1949. Samuel Wurtzel founded the business as Richmond, Virginia's first retail television store. Some 50 years and 600 stores later, Circuit City has grown into one of the leading retailers of top quality home video electronics.  While many place Best Buy on the same level with Circuit City, it turns out the latter offers a wider selection of microphones than the first.  Audio Technica and Sony microphones can be found on the website at low prices, in addition to a few computer microphones such as Labtec, Plantronics, Cyber Acoustics, and Logitech.  Circuit City offers free shipping within 7-10 business days to those who purchase over $24. The store also offers no interest until September 2008 to customers whose purchases are $299 and up. Their 24/24 Pickup Guarantee is a great selling point to those who wish to avoid in-store hassle, but is not an available option to all items on the website. The site allows you to track your purchase and shipment.  The customer is responsible for all shipping and insurance charges for returns, unless otherwise indicated. Defective items will be repaired or exchanged at their discretion for the same or the manufacturer's equivalent model only. Circuit City e-mails notices about discounts, rebate offers, and open box items, as well as offers online sales coupons at select times such as holiday sales.  Yet, while Circuit City outdoes Best Buy in the microphone department, its selection is also quite minimal.  Unless you're looking to buy a cheap mic in which quality is unimportant, you'll fare better elsewhere.
