That answers that question

I've often enjoyed walking through the sharper image store, but I've never, ever bought anything there.  I have wondered if the 'salespeople' were there merely to prevent people like me from breaking stuff, because I don't recall them actually selling anything.  Well, it turns out that fewer and fewer people are buying their shiny stuff.

As the byline from CNNMoney.com reads, "A week after naming a new chief executive, specialty retailer files under Chapter 11, says it plans to close 90 of its 184 stores as soon as possible."

So much for all those free massages...
