And the selection will stink very soon - anything with real value will hold 
it's value until the very end (i.e. laptops will see minimal discounts, and 
most will be "open box", the sealed laptops having been sold off to a third 
party (the Mfg.?). What is intersting is the complete garbage they'll pull out 
of the back of the store (like old PII desktops, etc.).

That is what it was like when the Princeton, NJ CompUSA closed earlier this 
year.

Eventually I c=scored some discounted PCI cards (USB, SATA, etc.) for about 
half their stupid prices, but it wasn't until they almost closed for ever when 
they got a serious discount.
