Even with their "sale" and "liquidation" discounts (5% to 10%) it was still cheaper on Amazon and other online retailers.
No wonder they are going out of business. Why would I waste time and money to pay MORE for something when I can order online for cheaper? Hell, even Wamart was still cheaper, so if you need it on the spot, Walmart is there. --- stuff ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont understand how pet stores are still in business. Everything they sell is at least twice as expensive as it is on amazon, some of it is 3-4 times the price

Toys R Us is going out of business because of a leveraged buy out. A thing that sounds so hilariously illegal you'll think it's a joke until you remember you live in the US. Thanks to Bain Capital, KKR, and Vornado they got saddled with 6 billion in debt. Then after a decade or so Bain decided they wanted to ditch the property and sent in the current CEO to destroy the company while maximizing their profit from the scenario.
Prices weren't the major player, Amazon and Walmart would sell practically at cost to hurt them but don't take responsibility away from where it belongs. ... Copied to Clipboard!

been to toys r us once back in the 90s when i was a kid. my dad bought me a go kart. i wanted one of those electric cars that moved all slow. but looking back at it, i'm glad i got the go kart. it moved a lot faster and it worked out my legs. i don't know if that was my dads intention (a way to help me stay in shape) when he bought me it, but it worked.

Even with their "sale" and "liquidation" discounts (5% to 10%) it was still cheaper on Amazon and other online retailers. The prices have nothing to do with them going out of business. They were bought by a private equity firm who basically borrowed all the money to buy them and overpaid. Prior to being sold, Toys-R-us was profitable and making money. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If its the same company that helped sears go out of business, then they will raise the prices. The final sales on the day they close the door, will be about 10% cheaper than they were a week before the going out of business sale started.

Well at least they are selling things. Grainger games closed all it's stores in the UK, I had a pre order for Far Cry 5 with them before that and they didn't send it out or even refund me so I had to go through the bank to get my cash back. I feel bad for those who had more expensive items on order with them.

Why isn't everything 90% off? Why do they need to turn a profit at all? They're not going to exist anymore.

Even with their "sale" and "liquidation" discounts (5% to 10%) it was still cheaper on Amazon and other online retailers. My wife and I went into a Babies R Us last week and saw the same thing. It was something like $37 for a 3 pack of onesies after the "sale". I openly said if you want to make money and get rid of this stuff make everything 50% off. They'll probably end up selling most of their stock for pennies on the dollar after the doors close now. --- The DXF Games Insanity Bundle on Steam! http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/3314 ...
