When Joe’s Sports started the liquidation sale, the company had already been purchased by a liquidation company. They purchased all of the inventory and fixtures at a huge reduction in price. Then they raised some of the prices in the store almost 50 %, so I told you to wait.

They are now getting serious and offering some real values,  but you still need to be careful. I almost purchased a broken display product, which had parts missing. All sales will be final, with no returns. All warrantees will be by the manufacture. Few manufactures will cover missing parts on opened items.

But if you know what a product should sell for, you can find some amazing deals. If the boxes are not factory sealed, open then up and inspect the product. If you are not sure it is all there, walk away. That’s better then buying defective merchandise.

So get your credit card out and stimulate the economy.

I was at Joe’s sports this morning, looking for a good deal, but what I found were marked up prices.

It would appear that the prices were marked up as much as 50% on some items. The discount today was 10-20%. So it may take a while for the bargain pricing to appear.

I was told the the store has until June 09 to sell all of the product.

I hope no one took off work for the mark-ups.
