Hm, one is compelled to wonder if there will be any outstanding bargains to be had during the sell-off period. . .
ditto - “liquidation sale”
Highly doubt it. I went to a few of their “Store Closing” blowout, price slashing, events.
Their reduced, blowout, slashed prices were a few pennies under what MSRP is for the rest of the world. I was pretty amazed that their stated MSRPs were actually inflated.
The closeout deals at the CompUSA stores they closed earlier this year were underwhelming. They didn’t get to 50% off until the weekend they were closing the doors.
By then all they had left were overpriced ink and thousands of copies of Vista.
Not likely. I went to one of the closeout sales here in Los Angeles, and when I went to their blowout sale, I got into the fight with the head honcho.
Apparently a liquidator comes in and buys all the merchandise, and even hires the laid off CompUSA workers. I was buying some item, and noticed they were charging me more than what it was listed at on the shelf...which is against the law in California...if it is marked on the shelf, they have to sell it to you for that price...I brought this up with the floor boss, and I kept telling him he was breaking the law, and he ejected me from the store.
(They also have heavy outside security during these blowouts....not sure why...much more than the employee that would check your bags/receipt on the way out.)
So, I ended up paying more for something, because we needed to use it at the office that day, and I didnt want the hassle of driving over to Frys across town to look for it.
Also remember there will be no returns, no warranty, etc.
