Only thing I liked about that store was the candy counter and the popcorn.

Really miss those toy catalogs at Christmas.

But the people that sold you alcohol for decades are retiring in comfort.

Man, that has to suck when you think about it.

...now what am I to do with these broken Craftsman hand tools?

Hand tools

I don’t know if they still do it but Home Depot used to trade for free.

Sears doesn't own Craftsman anymore, Stanley does.

Lampert drove it off the cliff and now wants to buy it back out of bankruptcy to squeeze every last nickel out of it. He’s a parasite.

They were dead before he came along. He just ate off the corpse for a while.

“By now, Prospect readers probably know the basic story of the demise of Sears. The company that pioneered the 20th-century version of e-commerce—the catalog—did not succumb to 21st-century innovations like Amazon and Walmart. Rather, it was dismantled piece by piece by Eddie Lampert, the hedge fund titan (and former Yale roommate of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin) who purchased it in 2005. Lampert and his hedge fund engaged in relentless financial engineering to suck out all the value from Sears and leave a desiccated husk, which now could face possible liquidation in bankruptcy.”

Putting it all on him ignores everything that happened before that. From the catalog to Kmart to just plain being out of date. They were a dinosaur and now they're going extinct like they probably should. Sears, Pennys, Macys. Hanging by a thread in a world that doesn't give a shit about malls or department stores anymore.

I wonder if eBay had something to do with the new way to shop?
