Yeah that’s probably a 250-300k house at today’s rate.

Any business that thinks K Mart would improve their brand......

You could get all kinds of stuff in that book like a vcr for over $800. Now you can't even find one in stores.

I think he was being sarcastic. That would work today with a slight remodel. Houses today have to have a master bedroom downstairs. Who wants to walk upstairs when you're drunk.

Sears was my dads mecca. If he needed tools, he went to Sears.
My grandparents would not shop anywhere else for those type things, My grandfather has been gone about 10 years now, but not too long before he passed his old CRT gave up the ghost and he needed a new TV, he insisted that I buy one from Sears. Didn't matter to him that Best Buy, Wal Mart, Circuit City, any of that. He just knew SEARS. So I paid double for his TV.

Wal-Mart passed Sears in 1989 (in sales volume). That Sears’ demise has been so long and drawn-out is a testament to how big and strong the firm actually was. It took decades of mismanagement to burn through all of its resources.
Pretty much this.
Damned sad all the same.

So when was the last time you shopped at Sears?
They've been in a coma for a long time.

The joke around my family and our friends was if you were out of toilet paper, get the Sears catalog.

Sears was Amazon a century before Amazon.

I was just thinking that very same thing.

Worked part time at the Sears in the Edgewater Mall in Gulfport/Biloxi when I was stationed at Keesler. Man did they have some hot chicks working there. Usually worked weekends loading appliances in trucks. Bought a new car so I needed gas money after I paid my insurance premium.

That wish book for christmas was basically porn for any kid.

that catalog was the story of a man's life:
Kid: toy section
Teen: lingerie section
Old married fart: tool section
I had a friend who's wife was a yard sale freak who dragged him along. He's pick up broken Craftsmen tools and bring them to Sears, who would replace them for free. Wound up with quite a tool warehouse...

At about age 14 my cousin ( adopted, no DNA shared) opened the catalog and started jacking it right in front of me and my brother. He spent most of his adult life (died about 5 years ago) in prison. And there was that time he was on the Jenny Jones show and didn’t tell his PO. His PO saw him and sent him back to prison for not getting permission for leaving the state. The show was something like “My woman is too fat”. He was several babies’ daddy unfortunately.
Anywho Sears was the place for my dad and his tools and mom for her sewing stuff. Still have shotguns purchased from Sears and JC Penney.

Yup, and I'm 27. My mom would give me and my siblings different colored highlighters to circle with.
I guess these kids today probably just put together an Amazon wishlist

It’s a shame that the pioneer of the buy anything from home model could not adapt to the online world of shopping.
I'd imagine that their vast real estate holdings had a not-so-small part to do with it. Even if you close all your brick and mortar stores and go 100% online, that huge amount of real estate is still costing the company money in upkeep and servicing of debt until they can find someone to take it off their hands. With a storefront in damn near every city of 10k people or more, that's a LOT of real estate to shed. Just handling the legal paperwork of breaking the leases on smaller storefronts they didn't own would be a fairly monumental task for the company.
