Description: City Liquidators is a bargain-hunters’ delight, packed to the rafters with low-priced stuff. Some of the hardware and tools are priced very low, as are carpets, planters, small pieces of furniture, and kitchen gadgets. The second floor is the furniture warehouse, and some of it is quite decent. We’ve seen many low prices on couches, armchairs, dining room and bedroom sets, futons, patio furniture, and much more. From pots and pans to entertainment centers and bookcases, City Liquidators offers everything you need to cheaply furnish a home or apartment. They also have a good selection of office furniture, equipment, and supplies. And they also have much that is just odd. The last time we were there, we overheard a man say to his father, “Do you see anything you can’t live without?” “Or live with?” was the answer.
