So once-mighty Vancouver mail order retailer NCIX went under & all their stuff is being auctioned off. I remember ordering from these guys back in the '90s; pretty sure they predated Newegg & Amazon. They also had a retail store network that I didn't know about.

Specifically what I remember ordering from them back in the '90s, was a SWANK new CD/MP3 discman that could also play video CDs! We just didn't get that kind of high-tech where I was living back then. I think I played a VCD on it once.

I've probably still got it somewhere, now that I think about it.

Anyway, they've been running so long they must have some interesting retro junk that was collecting dust in back rooms or closets. Wonder how hard it would be to get in on the liquidation auction?
