I purchased two items a couple of months ago that I liked so I went to the liquidation sale thinking I could get them for less. Boy was I wrong. A boys jacket I paid 8.00 for was now 26.00. A pair of dress pants that were 15.00 previously were now 30.00. Please pay attention to prices at these sales. You can shop sales at stores that are still in business and get much better deals.

I went to a Circuit City that is closing, and it was run by the liquidators. I wanted a GPS for cheap and wanted to make a deal, but the manager couldn't do anything w/out a liquidator manager. The warranties were as is too. I didn't end up getting anything, and the employee there was asking if I had heard of any jobs available! Poor guy! I realized a lot of this information recently.
