        &lt;p&gt;I just scored a bunch of stuff on closing day of our local Santa Rosa Store.  I bought a UX380 for $600, and four other laptops for more than 60% off.  I also bought a ton of Antec 1000w and 850w power supplies for about a third what I will get for them on ebay.  Very nice prices.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be careful as the CompUsa&#039;s in Tampa raised most all of their prices before starting the sale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example I have bought McAfee VirusScan Plus for $34.95 all this year, when the going out of business sale started, the price was raised to $69.95 before the percentage off. Today it was 30% off and that means the price was still about $15 more than what I normally paid for the the same product at the same store prior to this bogus sale. BTW, I ended up buying the same version of McAfee VirusScan Plus at WalMart for $24.95.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just be careful, look at the price on their website and compare it to what they have it priced in the store. I found much of their sale prices were actually significantly higher than the advertised price on the website, even with the percentage off. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another example is the Linksys wireless G router. On their website it is $49.95...at the store it is $79.95 less 30% which still puts it several dollars more than what the price was before the supposed going out of business sale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I did save $7.00 on one APC UPS and $10.00 on another. So there are a few deals to be had, you just need to be prudent in your shopping. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;I stopped in my local (Roseville, MN) CompuUSA (closing) today. The sign holders all had upto 20% of signs.Many things were not 20%, games (pc, mac and console) 10%, mac 5%, desktops and laptops varied between 5 - 20%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was interested in a Nokia N800 which was 20% off, $399 or $319. That was a fantastic price; the young soon to be unemployed employee said there was only the floor model but it was also $319. I asked to talk with the manager if they were willing to reduce the price since it has been just shy of 2 months with people playing with it and got a &quot;we don&#039;t have the ability to adjust any prices&quot; at the store level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Personally I thought it was a bunch of hooey and goes to show why CompUSA is going out of business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Good luck finding deals, mine I think my deals are coming from NewEgg and Tiger (sans rebates).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PS my conspiracy side was thinking that these were purchased by employees and will be on ebay soon as NIB for a tidy profit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

        &lt;p&gt;Ditto. I live 5 min from the Montgomeryville store so I&#039;ll be hunting later today.  I pretty much do all my shopping now at Best Buy so I&#039;m not really affected by this too much.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

        &lt;p&gt;Yikes! King of Prussia too? I&#039;m right between the KoP store and the Montgomeryville store and BOTH are going bye-bye. I don&#039;t mind scoring some good deals now, but after these stores close, I&#039;m stuck with Best Buy and Circuit City for my instant gratification computer needs...doesn&#039;t sound too appealing. ;)&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;Ok, WOW they are closing the Chicago downstore and the stores in Detroit and Ann Arbor, but the one here in Lansing remaining open.  The website is showing MacBooks on sale for pickup for $698-$798 but I can&#039;t find the stores they are available at.  I may have to head out in the morning to one of the closing stores to see what they have. &lt;/p&gt;
