Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals?

"If they bring a liquidator in, its unlikely that there will be any "real deals", IME."

So basically a "liquidator" would mean prices about 20%-30% off retail, right? (lol) Sounds about right.

The Tweeter near me went to a liquidator and they were only offering a 10% discount. Then they closed the doors 2 weeks later and took the remaining stock, which was a lot because people around here know 10% is not that good of a deal...

Well I'm not intimately familiar with how the liquidation process all works. But I know this much. They're sure as heck aren't going to donate the stuff charity, or trade it to arms dealers in the middle east!
Heck, there's deals on the net for this stuff to compete with for heavens sake! they'd have to be pretty aggressive, price-wise, to move the merchandise on a retail store front level, ya think? I mean there's no option left is there?
OH WAIT! They could be planning to sell it wholesale as a supplier to dealers on the net, actually - assuming they got a good enough price on the bulk of it. Actually, now that I think about it. That's probably what they'll do. They'll probably be able to undercut most of the wholesale suppliers out there in distributing product to E-tailers to re sell that route. I bet that's what's going to happen to at least the bulk of the remaining stock. Makes sense to me.

IME, if they sell it out of the store they will start at 10- 20% off full MSRP and work their way down from there. By the time they get to a realistic discount from street price, there will only be bones left on the carcass! Its kind of like flea-bay where you see used stuff selling for more than average street price. Lots of advertising to draw in the suck...I mean customers!

I read somewhere that Tweeter was planning a reverse takeover of Hooters.
