That doesn't work anymore. When they have them, they have a "professional liquidator" come in and price everything, 25-70% off, after they raise the prices of everything. Then, after awhile, everything is bought up by the liquidator/broken/used/returned items companies that will then sell the items on ebay or at flea markets, etc.. Anyway, nowadays, there is no real savings with going out of business sales.
