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.

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.

Rockville is also doing the extra 20% off rock/pop cds. Rap/hip-hop is 70% off. dvds are 40% off - no extra 20% on those.

They seem to be restocking occasionally. The shelves below the regular racks have been replenished a bit. There are still a few surprises to be found if you dig around.

What about country, world and jazz? Are they still just 40% total?

I didn't look at those sections.

In SF it was 40%+20%.

The jazz section at FG was same as the rock section. If you're a hiphop fan, you're in luck because those are 70% off. I keep hearing about T.I. (all the hipster sites are raving about it, of course) so picked up his new one for about four bucks.
Also picked up
Hot Chip
Silversun Pickups
Rye Coalition
Longwave

cool, thanks.

What percent off are toys?

50% today but no additional discounts

picked up

Midlake
The Forecast
The Mendoza Line
South
Mia Doi Todd
Sondre Lerche
Dirty Pretty Things
Secret Machines

There a few copies of Luke Haines is dead but won't be worth picking up until the discount hits 60-70% - its almost $40

What percent off are the action figures?

Won't someone please answer this for me? Maybe I will have to go to Rockville to get the straight dope..?

Toys were 40% off the other day I think. Maybe 50% now?

I picked up:

Joseph Arthur-Our Shadows Will Remain
Pernice Brothers-Live a Little
Strays Don't Sleep-Self-Titled

One more copy of Joseph Arthur's Nuclear Daydream left at Foggy Bottom for one lucky person.

Fairoak was only 40% off the toys

70% hip hop

50% on most everything else.

I just got back from Rockville. I picked up a Killer Klowns figure, a Hip Hop Cartman, A Darkman…& Wonder Showzen the 1st season, a DVD "The Trial Of Lt.Calley" starring Harrison Ford. Philip K.Dick's book UBIK. A coupla Sports Illustrated swimsuit DVD's to give to the disabled fellas I work for 4Xmas. A Tabitha Stevens porno DVD. I like Tabitha because she looks like a clone, like she was created from some petri dish. The straight porno section was about ¾'s gone.

Though I should note that the gay porn section was still well stocked, so if you are into that Tower Rockville's yer place. As for CD's, there was no Zappa. No James Brown. No HawkwinD.

Insound is having a boxset sale. A new boxset everyday, advent calendar style.

Insound is a bit pricey…

Just curious – what's the plan for Tower.com? Are they going to keep it running?

As of now, yes. They were sold separately in the Bankruptcy and are not part of the liquidation scheme.

Is any Tower going over 50% off for pop/rock CDs?
