A discount of 5% won't even pay for the sales tax. It's still cheaper to buy from Amazon. A 10% discount would make it close to a wash, but you'd still have to select from the available stock.
You can always ask, but be armed with the cost from an online retailer first. I'd expect to get at least 10% off the lowest price I can get elsewhere for a retail display item.
I visited our local CompUSA store about a week ago. The Macs were about 5% off (big whoop) and the software 10% off. Another big whoop. I'm still far better off buying from Amazon. I looked at some other items and decided that unless and until they lower prices significantly further, that it makes no sense to buy at CompUSA's closeout. They are really banking on people getting caught up in bargain mania, even if they're not getting any real bargains.
It's not like people weren't warned...So what a friggin' waste of time. They have no intentions of deeply discounting anything...
Thanks for noticing.
The thread I linked to has people posting from other CompUSA stores that had been liquidated earlier-- that thread already had stated the whole no returns available and no real discounts. And that's ever. Shrug.
Those of you still waiitng for some magical close-out sale are going to be sorely disappointed.
It's not like people weren't warned...![]()
Lol. True enough. My fault for getting my hopes up!
you'd have thought they would try to get rid of everything fast... ...![]()
The big discounts will come at the end, though the choice of what's left will at that point be limited. I think I read the stores are closing down 60-90 days after the announcement was made (maybe a month ago?).
CompUSA here in SE Houston is closing its doors. I was lured by the "everything in the store is 15-40%" signs they'd posted all over telephone poles.
First, that "everything in the store" did not pertain to computers which were only marked down 5%.
Second, I was in the market for Hard Drives, and CompUSA's prices were STILL higher than Fry's and NewEgg.
Hrm...why are they closing?
A whole bunch of them are closing. Did you go to the one in Webster? I've been there and to the one in Sugarland.. both quite sub-par. Bleh!
