This is the same way most estate sales work. The first day a used $200 television will be marked $350. By the end of the second day it is down to $75. :) @Nick – We don’t have a Circuit City around here, but I’d expect the really good deals to come once they get to the point where they are just trying to move things out so they don’t have to transport them elsewhere.

While Circuit City is going out of the business, they hire a professional liquidator (sic?) to maximize whatever top dollar they can get given the hype of "Going Out Business - Everything Goes!!!!!" What seems like a "deal" is probably just as competitive with the prices at Best Buy, Walmart and Sears etc. Buyer beware and expect this tactic when other retailers announce the same.

(Kind of like most people run a garage sale.) The very best deals will be right before the close up for good.

A ton of companies have utilized this scam when going out of business. Yeah, if they don’t raise the prices first then declare that they are 20% off.
