New Yorker's, who remembers Crazy Eddies?
 

Special on him on Court TV right now, good shit. They are featuring him on Masterminds. I didn't know he was the first chain electronics store.

Yeah i remember that guy :thumbsup

I saw the Masterminds piece, it was interesting to say the least. On that note, Masterminds is a great show. Did you happen to catch the "Air America" segment on drug smuggling?

Yah know, I did not. I have seen so many shows about that it's all a blur now. The better ones on that subject are on the History Channel, so that's the last place I saw anything about AA.

Didn't he get busted for something?

hell yeah i remember his ass on tv as a kid

oh.. yeah.. i remember him now..

Racheteering, among other things.

YARGH! Prices so low... It's insaaaaaaaane!

I remember him. Also remember the fall from grace. A friend of mine from the SEC was one of the investigators on that case.

I don't think the guy in the commercial was him though.

the dude was brilliant, but greed is what got him busted.

he did what every major company does and has been for yrs - inflate its worth.

lots a zeros were added ...

Crazy Eddie?!? His prices are INSANE!!!

TheWiz- Nobody Beats the Wiz

i was listening to crazy eddie ads on 99X in 1971

jesus, i didn't even know he was still alive.

His Los Angeles counterpart is "Crazy Gideon"

I actually worked for them in Jersey. Boy did they know how to sell extended warranties. If I remember correctly, the crew from Nobody Beats the Wiz are cousins of Eddie's.

Prices are "INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

I used to go to his store in edison. Crazy jew.
