Anyone keepin' up at Shircuit Shity's closeout non-sale?
DVD movie titles are almost worth purchasing, at 30% off.

Blu-ray blanks are (what amounts to $14 per blank), if you use those for data archival. (I use hard drives; BR is still too expensive)

You'll still find something like 20 million 'Guitar Hero' boxes at each store, for the same costs-more-than-everywhere-else prices...

30% off of Wii and other games? Don't bother.

Amazing how much is gone despite it all. What a bunch of lollipops. Oops, suckers...

And be sure to whip out your big receipt at the front door.

1. Same thing CompUSA did
Mark everything up to list price, then discount by sale %. I can beat those prices elsewhere in town or online easy.

2. By the time prices at CompUSA got decent, all the worthwhile stuff was gone.

3. To be fair, it's the liquidation company that's doing it
part of their standard practice is to return everything from a bottle of soda to the most expensive giganto-tron LCD TV to list price before starting with their 10-30% off deals, making the liquidation prices more expensive than you'll find at many other stores. Even worse, people buy the stuff thinking they're getting a good deal!

5. The only thing I contemplated buying when I stopped in
was a CD/DVD burner, 'cause I never got around to getting one before.

If they're still there when I get my tax return I'll grab one. If not... oh well.

6. Buy the burner at newegg.com
Best prices around. They usually have several 20X dual layer burners for under $25 with free shipping.

7. Yeah, the only reason it would have been cheaper to buy it there would have been shipping...
but if I can find one that's free shipping then screw that. :)
