    call me captain obvious here, just thought of my 2 cents for whatever they're worth.

    I'm not sure how good the sales are or where the discounts are taken from (RRP I imagine)
    meaning they don't mean much, until you see the price of the item and compare.
    oh, and .. it's cheaper not to buy something, than to buy something on sale you don't need.

          That's a good point and I empathise with them.

      They probably will sell the shelving and fittings to anyone who wants them. Most closing down sales generally put up all that stuff for sale aswell as the stock.

      The difference this time is they have a maximum of 8 weeks left to sell as much as possible.
      Discounts may not be great today, but over the next few weeks that will change form 10% to 20% to 30% to 40% etc

          @victorheaven: Totally agree with you on that. There is a bad culture of attitude and a general lack of care. Rarely have I met a ds staff member with a genuine interest to assist with a query, you're basically ignored and left waiting, that's against the interest of any business. I will only shop where i can have a good shopping experience, and it's part of the reason for resorting to shop online, and then when you do, they complain about the prospect of losing their jobs.

          Come to think of it, the uninviting in-store service resulted in an Ozbargain membership, so they kind of did me a favour in that regard :D

          Never underestimate the power of a smile.

      • theguyrules on 26/02/2016 - 11:18

        Most of the staff there should just walk around with an iPad stuck on their foreheads so we can search for the correct answer to the tech questions. When big sales were on, they were rude, when nothing was going on, they were disinterested. (Generally speaking, naturally). But that wasn't the reason they went broke.

      no one likes loosing there job but to take it out on customers and then refuse to sell items at the prices that are advertised, even on the shelf in front of them, out of the catalogue or from online is beyond me. i can only wish them many happy returns going through the indignity of putting up with Centrelink month after month - might be a good wake up call.

      2nd week of March 30% off RRP
      3rd week of March 40% off RRP
      4th week of March 50% off RRP

      Endgame —> sold all to Greysonline at junk price.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2016 - 12:38

        Generally the business in charge of liquidation (Hilco - they've done DSE liquidations before for woolies, they've done borders… and they did Radioshack and Circuit City over in the US) will go 70-90% off at the very highest (alongside selling the fixtures at that point), but no more then that. I'd expect that in the last week of trade.

        They have 8 weeks to deliver the maximum return to the receivers, so they have to start small, especially since a reasonable percentage of the population would just go in because of the medias reporting.

        I'd expect a HUGE amount of private label stock to go to Greysonline though at the end of it cause there is no chance in hell they'll clear it all when all the stores and their DC are still very much full of it.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2016 - 17:48

          Allans liquidation gradually reached 80% off IIRC, but was a very slow process, would have been 3+ months.
