Pretty lazy / stupid of them to leave the clearance sticker underneath for all to see. I heard several people commenting about the markups before the mark downs. Thanks for adding your comment!

Want to know about deception. I went to the toy store aisle and I noticed on one of the toys there was a clearance sticker, but on top of it was a regular sticker. The regular price $24.99 with 40% off = $14.99. Guess what price was on the clearance sticker. $6.19. How unfair to upgrade the price on an item that was previously on clearance. I'm personally glad this company is going out of business. You get what you deserve, and so does the employee that marked those items. Even 50% off at stores like this is a joke.

You must have been at a different store than we were. The friend who was with me was hunting for items in those categories - and all were only 25% off. We spent a couple of hours in there looking around and 30% off was the best we found. I suppose it varies from store to store... Hi William, and thanks for chiming in.

Quilts, Duvets, Bedskirts, Nate Berkus, Decorative Accessories are all at 50% off which is quite a bit. Yes most of the merchandise is 25% off but there is a good percentage that is 50% off. the store actually has a good bit of merchandise at 50% off.
