they're literally selling everything. I walked out of that store with so much stuff (I even took the boss's chair) but seriously they're selling a lot shelving that looked great for display purposes and the manager just started throwing stuff in. Se was like if you take this ladder I'll throw in this book shelf for free and they had signs all over the store that said reasonable offers NOT REFUSED some shelving was 3 big ass book shelves for one hundred dollars and they're offering a bunch of power tools at the store we went to. The lady even said that they were selling the eight camera security system and the safes in the back. We wound up with a good amount of shelving and one of those ladders that rides on rails and a few chairs and a stool. But be warned by the time we got there they had sold a lot of stuff. But they still had a bunch of stuff left they even had a few tables full of office supplies and they took us back to the break room and we bought a few things out of the employees offices. They were even selling the coffee shop that was in the store the counters and all even the ice machine was sold. Don't take me wrong they were still selling books I saw one lady walk out with like twelve copies of the twilight books. But most people were there for the massive furniture sale that they were having.

Glad you guys found stuff, around here this was a non event, they moved through the discount percentages so slowly that when they finally got to where the discounted prices were even with Amazon there wasn't any selection left. Last fixtures I looked at were still way overpriced as well. I just decided to pass on the sad end proceedings in picking over the remnants of what was once a great enterprise.
Another company ruined by getting passed into the hands of a bunch of finance based opportunists vs passionate, product knowledgeable management. Facing tough challenges from big value shifts in the marketing, sales, and demand for books overall, they lacked the talent to remake and survive.
