CompUSA closing specials?

(1/5) > >>

hulkster:
im guessing everyone knows by now that CompUSA is going out the door.  and with it, closing sales till the end of the year!  i havent been to a local store yet, but im wondering if anyone else has been to one to see if they have any awesome sales on stuff? 

lharles:
All of my local CompUSA stores closed this summer.  Got a lot of good deals then, (and some that I wish I'd passed on...two copies of Vista Home Premium that I STILL haven't installed), and sort of wish they were still around so I could get some deal goodness now.

I do know that, at least for my local stores, they contracted with a liquidation firm and they waited until the LAST day before the discounts were REALLY good.  By that point most people had already pulled the trigger.

Of the stores that closed around me, the prices never got to NewEgg type levels until the very end... and by then it was all cherry picked and had no retail warranties.

I don't understand these liquidation things. Everyone KNOWS that if they wait, the percentages just get better. The liquidation companies only budget a certain amount of time for discounts - the price drop schedule is pre-determined. So, why in the world do people still go ahead and empty the store before the prices are good? If everyone would just be patient, all would get good deals.

ChadTower:
What if you need the part now?  Or soon?  Or don't have tons of time to keep checking back?  Oftentimes 20% off today is better than waiting a month for 40% off and possibly not getting the item.

Plus people are stupid.
