Website's offline as well:

http://www.unbeatable.co.uk/

It says

"24th August 2005
This site is temporarily unavailable while we carry out major updates."

but in light of your email it looks like it's goodbye unbeatable.co.uk.
A shame really, because on some products they tended to be the cheapest.

Anyone local seen if Capital's shops in Crawley (Capital Sound & Vision and
their Sony Centre franchise) are open? Might be that once the administrators
have verified stock assets they might look to dispose of some of it quickly
via the shops...

Funnily enough, I was in Crawley last Thursday and popped in to CS&V. It
had a lot less stock than usual - and even before that had seemed to be
rather run down. But I was able to get 5 DVD-RAM disks for £9.98 (£12.99 in
Argos). Can't say that I'm in the least surprised to hear that it is in
administration.

Went past the shop on Sunday. It was all shuttered up and the shop look
empty. This info explains it.

Strictly speaking Administration and Liquidation are different.

Administrators take over the running of a company. They may be able to
get it back on an even keel and heading for profit. Alternatively they
may have to close it down and liquidate the assets to pay off the
creditors (with assorted tax collectors jockeying for the head of the
queue!).

It is very probably right to be pessimistic in this cae.
