Has anyone who lives near a Family Video checked out their liquidation sales? I was about to head over to the local one tonight just to see if there are any good video game deals, but I'm worried that the good ones probably got swooped up immediately and/or the prices are high. I guess it's worth a check.

The kicker with Family Video is that their sales have almost always varied significantly by location, manager's discretion and such. From my experience, this is very much holding true with the closeout sales as well. That having been said, I've found worthwhile pickups at each FV I've been to so far.

Some games and movies seem to have faulty pricing. Like, $12.99 for used copies of Animal House, or $29.99 for Rare Replay - that kind of thing. Prices no sane person would pay. Most movies are $1.99 to $4.99, though, with some locations having far more movies at $1.99 than others. There are some good game deals, too, and some harder-to-find titles still in the wild.

I'd say it's worth checking out if nearby and/or geographically isolated (I.E. less likely to be hit by resellers).
