Of course, that won't stop shoppers from buying up all the CDs and DVDs in the store. They can be had cheaper at Target/Walmart, but shoppers will pay more thinking they're getting a deal.
Wa who, I agree with Brandon (miracle of miracles eh Brandon?). I walked in that store once, seen the product, turned around, walked out and never went in again.Quote:

I was there Saturday afternoon - the line went about 2/3 of the way to the back of the store. CD's were only 20% off at that time.
I buy used in there. They would have buy 3 used, get 1 free. Since they were guarenteed, it was worth it. Batavia is 60% off all DVD's and Cd's now.
60% off what? It means absolutely nothing.Quote:

I guess the "bargain" I got was 5 movies, all ones I wanted, for less than $16. I was able to take then home right then and there, watched some that night. I agree that some of their prices were higher than other retail, but I used to do my homework before I would go in.Quote:

You're a rare breed. A smart shopper who's educated on prices going to a 'going out of business sale'.Quote:

How did you get 5 movies for $16? Great Deal!
I was in one once, and I think it was in Albany or Syracuse or someplace like that. As others have said, they're overpriced compared to other others.Quote:

All of them were used and priced at $7.99. With the 60% it came to $15.98 before tax. Genesee county is 8%, so I saved even a little more by going to Batavia. For me, the distance between Transit Rd and Batavia is almost the same.Quote:
