Actually, K Mart bought Sears. Word had it that K Mart was going though some hard financial times and Sears floated them cash to get them out of the hole they were in. K Mart turned around and used the money to buy a controlling stake in Sears. Created Sears Holding Company (or something like that) and the rest was history. At least that was what was told to me by some long time employees of Sears. I can verify that K Mart was the owner of Sears and was making the decisions on what the company was doing.I think Sear's lost it's edge with the purchase of Kmart, which from what I saw was one of the earlier purveyors of the shell game trick(or whatever it would be) where they changed products every 90 days or so in order to (from what I believed) avoid upholding warranties and such.
It always seemed like a short time after buying an item, if you went back there looking for accessories or parts, the item would be (in their store anyway) "obsolete"
