And like most liquidation I'm going to guess the Blu's will be at 10% starting.

EDIT: Stopped by on way to work and they are 40% off ORIGINAL prices right now. If I recall right the original prices listed appeared to be the MSRP, so for example even the LOTR extended was still $72 so not cheaper than any deal we already have gotten for it. While I'm guessing most will be gone before it reaches the price point it means I probably would not bother with anything until say 65% off at the least.

Anyone know what percent off books are?

10-20% off. Mostly just 10% off on the good stuff.

Yes, prices will continue going down until everything - or as much as possible - is sold off. That's how liquidation sales are run.

Why don't they have the biggest discounts from the beginning and just get it over with quickly?

I was surprised and pleased that the blus were 40% off while DVDs were only 20% off.

I was able to use my last $5.00 of Borders Bucks.

Bye bye Borders. Thanks for the nine months of Borders Plus. Sorry it's over but I did very well.

Probably by mid to late August the percentages will increase to 50-70% but at the same time, everything good might be picked through.

Sorry, a little vague when I said "price point" I suppose. But obviously I mean when these prices would even be considered worth getting by most of us here. By that time anything I want will probably be gone due to those that just don't realize how cheap these movies have been or will be especially by Black Friday for example.

So what did you end up getting? At least at my store, even with $5 of Border Bucks I really do not see a deal to be had at least in the Blu section.

blu 40%

Of course people are buying butt loads of DVDs.

It's $6.49 new on Amazon......no matter how much the % off per DVD/Blu grows it will never beat online prices.

I think some of you are being a bit melodramatic. The prices are what they always were - MSRP. Now, that said, if you're looking for everything to be a deal, you'll be disappointed. However, if you're looking for a couple of things here and there, you'll find a couple of decent deals. I picked up the Se7en Blu book for $10 on Friday night. It's the cheapest I've seen that particular title. The LOTR extended box worked out to $65, but I passed, as I'm figuring ~$40 on Black Friday.

Also picked up a couple of the Hanayama metal puzzles, which are damn fine brain teasers, if I may say.
