There's a big sign in the window that says, "Everything now up to 30% off*"
* some exclusions apply
Well, it turns out that most gear is between 0 and 10% off. Much of the apparel is 30% off, however.

Whenever I see "up to X% off" I mentally halve that number to see what kind of actual discounts to expect.

Re: Sports Authority going out of business sale
I remember when GI Joes was liquidated, the sales weren't so hot except for the very last items. Looks like this is no different.

Re: Sports Authority going out of business sale
These liquidation companies are a joke. I've hit several of these over the years and rarely walk out with anything. At Joes they jacked the prices and then percentage offed the merchandise for a net gain of +10% or something. I found it insulting.Waffle Stomper wrote:I remember when GI Joes was liquidated, the sales weren't so hot except for the very last items. Looks like this is no different.

Last one I crawled into was Blockbuster. Swear it was even worse then Joes. Enough for me!

Re: Sports Authority going out of business sale
I don't even waste my time with these types of sales. They mark the prices up to full retail or higher then discount it from there. If you take your smart phone in there and actually start pricing items you'll find out that their really not great deals. You might find a true good deal, but its rare.
