Don't know; I don't buy them, so I haven't looked.

*bump*

Decided to stop by the store today, mostly because the signs said $5.99 and less. I ended up getting four of those 3-pack Raisinettes for .59 cents each (awesome in my work lunches---they're still fresh!), a Twilight Edward messenger bag for $4.99, and two of those movies in the plastic envelopes ("Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?" and one disc of a Mario Bava set) for $2.99 each.

For those who've closed stores: how much lower will they go? I resisted buying a lot of stuff, mostly because I'm waiting to see if I can get it cheaper.

And can you believe they're trying to sell the freakin' GUMBALL Machine???

the gumball machine has sold in all 6 stores that i have helped close down...people love that shit.

and NR will go down to 2.99, 1.99 or .99 cents, i've seen all 3 of those prices be the final sale price.

Licensed Merchandise such as the twilight bags will go down to 80% off
Candy sales also go down to 80% off.

The final prices seem to depend largely on the amount of money the store is making during the process. Once the store hits it's "closing store target goal" then the prices are able to go down lower, say to .99 cents. In stores that don't hit their goals by the last week, they keep things a bit more expensive.

It also has to do with whether its a 4 week sale, or 5 week sale. It's dumb and the employees won't know what the prices will be until Monday mornings. You'll definitely find some cool shit the last week for next to nothing though. Happy Shopping!

Thanks for the tip, almondSM!

ETA: I looked at bluray DVDs when I was there yesterday, and though I don't have a bluray player, I do sell bluray DVDs sometimes on eBay. I'm thinking I might get their "scraps" during the last week, as there aren't so many "b-movies" on bluray and I might actually be able to turn a decent profit on those online.

Sure I can. I just can't believe they think they'll get three hundred bucks for it. Movie Gallery sold theirs off for $150 and that was kind of a rip off.

They only were asking $200, but that was on Tuesday. I'm sure it will be a more manageable price in a week or two. They already marked down the Bluray players to $80.

I always wanted a gum ball machine, would make a neat aquarium....

Come to think of it, it really might make a fun aquarium. Then you turn the knob whenever you want to play with your goldfish!

...I kid.

The air bubbles would travel up the spiral and when you turn the knob that feeds the fish. I think it would be cool to have one.
