Cyberian Outpost Goes From Having Two Buyers To None
from the that-was-quick dept
It was just a month ago that PC Connection and Fry's were competing to buy troubled online retailer Cyberian Outpost. A couple weeks ago, Fry's dropped out of the race, as they decided to buy Egghead.com, instead. Now, it turns out that Outpost isn't going to meet one of the conditions of the PC Connection deal... and so that deal is probably off. Outpost admits that they need to find someone else to buy them (or just give them money) pretty soon if they're going to stay in business.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
