Why did CompUSA stop selling gift certificates?
Perhaps instead of putting the sales proceeds from the gift certificates in
escrow, they invested the funds in a Risky Scheme. They then become "unfunded
liabilities" (which is what accountants call them) if the money behind the gift
certificates is lost.
Keep an eye on the Security & Exchange Commission's EDGAR for any CompUSA
filings, indicating any material change.

Why would a large computer retailer (CompUSA) stop selling gift
certificates at this time of year? Might CompUSA be going titsup.com?
