I actually work for the liquidation and do stores like this and actually have two of these now and closed 6 or 7 in the past when they did the 1/5 of stores 2 months ago.

Basically when the liquidator takes over the store...they originally set the prices higher to accomodate for the first round of % off.

For instance...if Item is normally 100$ then liquidator juices it up to 125$ and has a 25% off to start the store.....This is done with the entire stock...nothing is truely (on sale) in the first two weeks.

However after the initial week or two/three goes by...the same original prices(125) are never changed. so once the 50% off and higher goes on, u truely are breaking the original (100) by quite a bit more.

The secret is finding the common ground in usuing the 50%+ off and also having things being sold out at the store...most people dont know these secrets and buy first weekend or two of sale all the items they are in need of, then the store gets them to come back with alluster of 80%+ off later on again...definitly a great marketing scheme 90% of population isnt aware of the brainwashing present in the world today.

Circuit city should last about 10 weeks tops so by my estimation from prior stores...60-80% will be in about 6 - 8weeks....thats when i would wait till personally......if they dont have the item u are looking for then, then dont buy unless a amazing deal.....then again i have many chances at this and most people with a 50mile radius have 2-3 tops.


Goodluck with ur finds...

I am always reluctant to buy a product (especially electronic equipment of some sort) from a store that I already KNOW will not be there in the event I have a problem a month after I bought it. Be careful--cheap could be expensive.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

I read that your warranties and refunds are good through outside company, but that all the more desired goods like HD TV's, etc., are like 10 percent or no markoff, and 30 for stuff like cables and things you probably aren't looking for anyways, baybe it will get better later in the process though.

I have one about 2 miles from my house and when i drive to work on the main street but there have to be 4+ guys walking around with signs that promote them going out of sale. I'm going to be going there in about 3 or 4 weeks with the not so great stuff left to see If i can find a steal to sell back on ebay or keep for myself.
