Yes you can but if you are looking for a particular model do your research first. That means go to the store today and then research the prices online at other dealers for the models you like.

Make sure you do your research first. A lot of prices are marked up, so they can then be marked 75% off. A CC near my home closed already, and even on the last day, the deals were not that good - especially considering that there are no returns or exchanges if something goes wrong.

Yes but Kmart brought in the liquidator and some prices were higher than the sale prices this past xmas.

depends. You have to check the market for the street price of the product. check amazon.com

If you can afford it.

Here is the low down, at first things will be only like 10 to 15% off original prices. Thats at least what their signs will normally say. When you actually look into it the main items you would seek out will only be like 5% off. So items like computers, laptops, cameras, and tv’s will be at 5%. Other items in the store will vary. Traditionally the items that get the most percent off are the items rarely seeked out in the store. Items like paper, disks, odd ball cords, and etc. Also, items that are hot items, such as games, memory cards and etc will be marked up making you think you are getting a deal but in reality you are getting it for slightly lower than retail or the same. The key to liquidation is to wait a bit longer for the prices to go down but the downfall to that is, there are easily fooled customers who have already bought the items you want because they thought they were getting a deal. So most people dont bother going lol. Unless you do need paper and things like that. The thing is, you tell almost anyone they are getting a deal and they go nuts and blow money, where if they waited they could have found the same item a little later for probably less lol. P.S. prices are not negotiable

Buyer Beware:

In the case of Circuit City liquidation here’s what is going on: They remove the street price and allow everything to return to MSRP and then they offer ‘STORE CLOSING’ discount percentages off of MSRP.

MSRP (Manufactures Suggested Retail Price) is always much higher than anyone would normally pay. Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy (and Circuit City before the liquidators came in) have a percentage they will knock off of MSRP everyday, this is called the ’street price’.

All liquidators do this as a trick where they discount off MSRP and so sometimes you will actually pay MORE during store closing sales!!!

A good example of this: I was in the store two days before they they announced store closing.. Using the 46″ LCD Samsung LN46A550 as an example. This television has a price tag of $1499 MSRP, four days ago Best Buy and Circuit City had this model for $1299. $1299 is the everyday ’street price’ for that set and that’s 13% off MSRP.

Well, now that the liquidators have come in to Circuit City. That same television now cost MORE. The liquidator has set the price to 10% off the $1499 MSRP, so it’s price is now $1350. $50 more than Best Buy is selling it for right now and $50 more than Circuit City was selling it for a week ago.

Why do they operate this way?

Because they (the Liquidator) want to make as much money as possible… They just paid $0.10-$0.20 on the dollar to purchase all inventory from the bankrupt retailer. They know very well that everyone wants the expensive items and they know some people will buy into their BS 10% off sale. They are counting on a few ’sucker’ customers to come in the door during the first part of the ‘GOING OUT OF BUSINESS’ sale and take them up on the 10% off expensive items. These customers are absolutely getting scammed because they could go down the road to a successful retailer like Best Buy and get 13-15% the same items and also get the benefit of a return policy.

The truth is: during going out of business sales, Good deals can only be had early on a select few items. In the case of Circuit City, their 30% really only applies to the few furniture items they carry. If one of these items appeals to you then there is a good deal to be had.

After a few weeks the liquidator will finally begin going deeper on the high dollar items (like HDTVs and Computers) once they reach 20% or more then their will be good deals to be had, but you can always subtract 10% from whatever discount they are advertising because of they have removed the ‘Street price’.

Circuit City’s liquidator is actually advertising “Up to 30% off our ‘everyday low price’” which is an absolute lie. But who’s going to call them on it? They are a liquidator trying to help a battered retailer recoup some money to pay creditors.
