yeah i heard about this earlier this week. from what i hear it will take a while for things to get real cheap...5% off retail at a time...might wanna hold out to try to get some good deals

 

[Hurdt299]

Yeah. Since they sold out to a liquidation company they will try to get as much as they can out of what's left. The longer you wait, the cheaper things will be.

The electronics industry has taken a huge hit. The manus did it. Whorring out the products to get more sales, the value has went waaaayyy down. Also most of these manufacters have map pricing, which these big box stores never did. Greeed pure greed.

What happens to all my extended warranties that I purchased I guess I just lose them?

According to what I read - the extended warranties are held by a third party - you should be good.

I on the other hand - haven't filled out a rebate from something that was purchased before the holidays. I haven't figured out what will happen to it.

Went to the one at Concord Mills earlier this evening. As of today the sales are 10% off tv's, computers, home and car stereo, and any other electronics. All gaming stuff is 10% off as well. DVD's and CD's are 20% off and all furniture and most accessories(cd wallets, chargers, cables, etc...) are 30%off. Not reall any good deals as their prices are high to begin with. As the weeks go on the better deals will come along.
