^^^ Aint That The Truth

i missed it when wherehouse shut down in imperial beach and national city..i ain't missin this shit

 

[Da Yayologist]

I went to the one in Stonestown yesterday in Frisco. 10% off all CDs (I think all Towers are starting at that point first) and 30% off 'zines. Not nearly enough to start spending yet. FWIW, the CompUSA store downstairs is also going OOB after it replaced the Good Guys franchise that shut down.

Leopold's, Wherehouse, Sam Goody's, Musicland, Tower... all gone. Only big chains left are Virgin Megastore and FYE. None are gonna be in Baghdad-By-The-Bay. It's all about the indies... Streetlight, Rasputin's, Amoeba.

FUCK TOWER! I went by the one in sherman oaks and really gave em' a chance but shit is toooooo expensive. it was a tuesday and lonely as hell in there.

FUCK THE MUSIC INDUSTRY for supporting bullshit artists and killing all music genres for that quick buck, that's what they get.

[THE ACIDRAPTOR]

I just called the Sport Arena store earlier today & yeah the guy said they just barely started yesterday but didnt asked about the sale percentages though......

Well fuck it, Imma hit ova there tomorrow morning................................

I remember a couple of years ago a Wherehouse shut down in the mall. Now there are no music stores in the mall, and this is the mall that EVERYONE in the Inland Empire goes to. I got about 20 bay area CDs for $50, all brand new, like Mac Dre- Thizzle Washington. It was still sealed at 80% off and I got it for about $2. So I'll hit up Tower, too.

 

[THE ACIDRAPTOR]

I just hit up Tower this morning, right when they opened & so far as of today, it's just too fuckin ridiculous!!!
All CDs & DVDs, whatever the fuck, 10% off, all vinyl 10% off,all electronics 10% off, & magazines 30% off!!! What a fuckin joke!! A fuckin rip off right there!!! Geeez, no wonder they went bankrupt; that just arent that reasonable with the merch prices... Good luck making some sales!!...
...& goodbye Tower!!...

 

[TOKZTLI]

I usually get my shit online through Tower, the prices are lower on line anyway.

YEAH THAT'S USUALLY HOW LIQUIDATION SALES GO. THEY START OFF AT 10% OFF AND USUALLY GO UP IN PERCENTAGE AS THE WEEKS GO BY. WHEN ALL THE GOOD STUFF IS GONE AND ONLY THE SHIT THAT PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY BUY ARE LEFT, THAT'S WHEN THEY ADVERTISE AT 50-60%. IF U WAIT TOO LONG THOUGH, THERE MIGHT NOT BE ANYTHING GOOD LEFT.

 

[THE ACIDRAPTOR]

Hell naw I aint gonna wait too long!!! I probly gonna start coppin sum cds startin Friday & then keep checkin if they would raise the percentages a lil bit... It's just a matter of time...... But what I'm kinda concerned is that what if they only can stick with the 10% off liquidation sales throughout the whole period until if they dont sell much they just eventually close the store & then just take off along with their shitloads of stuff??????
If that occurs, then they're no doubt the worst music/entertainment franchise
EVER!!!!!! I reely reely hope they dont just leave it like that, cuz that would be sooo fucked up!!! I wanna enjoy shopping for a huge sh!tload of cds & dvds, ya feel me??????

It would be fucked up for you and the rest of us that wanna get cheap shit, but great for them.

 

[THE ACIDRAPTOR]

Huh??? Seriously??? Either that, it wouldnt even surprise me a bit, but still, it would be too fucked up for all the loyal costumers out there who rather wanna buy shit for 20-50% off just to save some money............................

 

[Rasan]

shit, what we need to do is find somebody who work there and get the hook up!

 

[Grimy]

how about underground rappers that sell their 50,00 to 100,000 copies and they coo with it and keep on making music would it affect them? shit i mean i'd still buy a new psycho realm or a brotha lynch cd ..and theyre never $20 theyre usually $12 bucks

 

[Grimy]

fuck you know what though this is our chance to collect all the classics since theyre going outta bussiness all the old nwa ,ice cube, tupac, eazy e, mc eiht, king t, above the law, all for the i, kay dee, warren g, keep them in their cd case.. so in the future you can show your kids what the west coast "used' to sound like when they made real gangsta music.lol jk

Hahaha!!! YEAH RIGHT!!! Ive seen the folks working there, & to me they seem like a bunch a fuckin wierdos that are just too damn lame!!!

Theyre also somewhat strict too!!

Sorry bro...

That won't happen. They are going to want to get rid of as much stuff as they can and make as much money as they can. What makes more money? Selling a CD for $5 or not selling it? Believe me, they will do whatever they can to sell everything.

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING. CUZ THEY DO HAVE SOME RARE/HARD TO FIND SHIT THERE. AND THESE DAYS, FINDING A RECORD STORE IS BECOMING RARE. BUT THEN AGAIN, U CAN FIND ALMOST ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET NOW AND FOR A GOOD PRICE.
