Tower Records To Be Liquidated starting 10/7

Pretty much everything I wanted was not there but i picked up the the Jimmy Buffet Live at Fenway for my mom, the latest Cat Power for my wife, and she got the latest Camera Obscura and a few David Bowie disks.

I believe the people working there have just given up trying to keep disks in order.

How much percentage off are the action figures at Rockville?

I think the Seth action figure is 5% off.

Yeah, I decided not to ask for anything I may be looking for :p …Plus, the employees I saw were slightly grumpy. (Can't blame them, I guess.) One guy mumbled something about Ticketmaster being a pain in the ass b/c people would come in for tickets and never shop.

I only looked at books thus far. Shakespeare, Health/Personal Growth, and Travel sections still have a lot of inventory. :p

Anyone know if the Rt. 7 store is picked over?

Just got back from Tower in Fairfax. They have CDs at 40% off and buy 4 get 1 free. Fairfax stock is starting to dwindle, but they still have a lot more than Rockville. I picked up:

Lemonheads - S/T (New one) $11.39

I guess now is the time. I really wanted to get some Johnny Cash stuff but it is pretty much gone. Weezer & U2 are completly out.

I also purchased the Big Fish DVD at Best Buy today for $2.99. Quite a day!

I didn't even go on the other side.
I might head back this week. Is the buy 4 get 1 free over? I bet since the day of your post things have moved a bit more.
Curious:
-Did you see a few Lemonheads' cds?
-I'm also looking for Damien Rice…
-DVDs - status of inventory and percentage? (I saw a ton of empty movie shelves on the book side. Speaking of, bookcases and fixtures are for sale. I would buy a couple, but no flat bed truck!)

DriveWay: I don't have Cash albums, but I have some swag I can pass along.

They had the Lemonheads album at the Alexandria Little River Turnpike location, as well as some porn. I didn't purchase either.

I just returned from a particularly useful trip to the Foggy Bottom Tower. I was surprised and happy to see so many good discs there. Seemed like most of the boring mainstream discs were gone, and most of what was left were the more interesting obscurities. Was also amazed at how many imports they have there. I'll go back when the prices drop more to pick up some of those. For the moment though, I bought:

new Califone
new Calexico
new Bronx
new Dears
Riverboat Gamblers
Be Your Own Pet
Phonix
Heartless Bastards
new Sleepy Jackson
Margot & Nuclear So-Sos
Live 2cd Gomez
CSS
newish Futureheads
new Hold Steady
Radio Dept.

I am under the impression that I am the only person to actually purchase the Lemonheads cd at the Fairfax store. I went there when it came out to buy the cd, but an $18.99 price tag quickly chased me away. It doesnt look like they have any less on the shelf than they did that day (except for the one that I finally bought). I garuntee they will have it there.

At 40% off $19, you're still not getting any kind of bargain. You could match the prices by just sitting at your computer and ordering off of Amazon used. And you wouldn't have to put up with the horrible "music" they play over their sound system.

Not all discs are $19. All of the discs I bought ultimately cost less than $8, except for the double-disc one, which was maybe 9 bucks. At least at the Foggy Bottom store, it's 40% off, and then an additional %20 off, which made everything fall into the range of $6-$8 each.

How did you get the additional 20% off? Are you factoring in the buy four get one free deal? Is that deal every day now? The store I was in last week said it was just Thurs and Fri only.

This is at the FG store, and they had hand-written signs around saying all rock CDs were an additional 20% off, and the cashier confirmed it.
And the buy four/get one deal is no more; it was just this weekend. I wish it would've still been going.

Or the long look down the nose at your insipid musical taste from the pierced, tattooed, purple -haired staff.

great album

Did the extra 20% off appear to be a one day thing, or do you think it will continue? That might make it worth my time…

My guess is that it will be ongoing, at least beyond today. I don't have much to base that on though, just my suspicion since they're trying to move this stuff out.

And I'm guessing that the extra 20% off is after the 40% is applied, making the overall discount 52%? Check yr receipt.

That was the case when I got an extra 15% on top of 30% (meaning the total savings was less than 45%…I'm too lazy to do the exact math.)

I bought some cds this morning at the Foggy Bottom store. The total discount came out to 58% off. Average price I ended up paying per cd was $7. :cool: Pickins are starting to get slim though so I'd head on over there and see what you can salvage.

Amazon is offering 40-60% off a bunch of boxsets.
