The buzz is that Liqudators mark all prices back up to the MSRP initially. THEN, start to mark stuff down.

I’ve seen this anytime I went for “bargains” when someone was closing down.

Don’t be fooled.

AND, if you have a Circuit City gift card, GET SOMETHING for it. It’s not going to be a collectable on the Antiques Roadshow. “YEs, Mister Doofus:: And, how much did your great grandfather pay for this 50$ gift card? Yes, well while it’s an original Circuit City gift card, no one cares. Sorry to say, it’s value is zero. But it is pretty.”
