Liquidation companies will mark everything up ridiculously high before they apply any discounts. You won’t save hardly any money. There were a few news channels here reporting on how they literally placed price stickers over old ones on a lot of merchandise, and at times we’re near 2x the original price. They pealed back multiple stickers showing that you could get the item cheaper when linens n things was selling it. The deal is, CC will sell everything to a liquidation comany and walk away from it. The liquidation comany then marks everything up and applies their “40-70%” off, and you still pay near full price after they have bought it from CC for dirt cheap. But in the end CC gets to stop spending money and they just cut their losses and liquidation comany banks MAD loot. ---

Even at liquidation prices most of the quality stuff will still cost more than you could buy it online for. By the time they get to the big 75+% off what will be left will be garbage. ---

TV’s never recieved accidential damage coverage AFAIK… so you better re read YOUR warranty… that being said, the warranty is handled by a 3rd party… the only way this effects your extended warranty is now you cant go escalate your issue with the warranty company with circuit city ---
