I hate liquidation sales because the prices are never that good once the middle man gets his cut.
What I've learned about a liquidation sale is a private investment company will purchase all the inventory which will be significantly marked up so it can be reduced to 50% or whatever advertised reduction for the sale. In reality the reduction only ends up being 10-15% below the normal retail until the final days which by then the only items left are the ones no one wanted in the first place.
