To anyone who is curious, I did go there last night and it was a complete bust. The shelves were half empty and the remaining stuff was priced too high for a liquidation sale in my opinion. There werent any PS4 games under $9.99 and the few "newish" titles left were marked as high as $39.99. Even movies weren't very cheap, with their newer titles marked over $10 and their cheapest deals on older vids being $4.99 or 2/$8. Considering there is a large bin of DVDs at Wal-Mart selling for $3.99 a piece, this isn't a great deal. The liquidation sale was already going on a week at this point though and it is a populated area, so possibly there were some steals that were swooped up early.

Nope, the exact opposite actually. Idiots think "liquidation = deal." They show up the very first day and buy all sorts of shit, most of it barely marked down, thinking they got the steal of the century. It was pretty hilarious watching people pay $12.74 for a used copy of "3:10 to Yuma" when you could get a brand new copy at Walmart for $14.99.

The only way to get deals was to basically wait it out. And a lot of employees took the best games, movies, and TV shows and hid them until the final day when we got them for $1 each. I got the entire series of 24 at the time for like $5, and God of War 2 for $1.
