Beware The Sale and Liquidation! Not All Sales Are As Good as They Promise!

You may be surprised to know that sometimes liquidators are actually  hired when a company is going out of business. We’ve been to some liquidation “sales” in the recent months that were atrocious. It’s possible that they even marked up their prices. Why do such a thing? Because they’re looking for suckers! But Smartypanties will not be had! Know the average price of something you’re going to purchase at a liquidation sale before your purchase. Often times customers are lured into a purchase believing they’re saving lots of money (aka me at sample sales, the early years of course) when they’re being ripped off in reality.

Also, if you do find a good deal make sure you like what’s coming home with ya! Once the stores close their doors there won’t be anywhere to return your buyer’s remorseful item to and you’re stuck with it, making your “bargain” a waste of money that’ll  leave you wishing you paid full price for something you really wanted!

Another good thing to know: not all sales are equal! I’ve noticed around town that sometimes different chain stores offer differing sales prices. So don’t abandon a sale figuring you’ll hit the location near your office and expect the same price. In the same vein don’t make a big purchase without checking around. A pain, yes I know, but if you’re strapped for cash it may be your savior!
