| Canadian tire liquidation
Hey guys don't know if this is the right section but a close friend of mine told me about a fire that was at a warehouse in Calgary. The warehouse is owned by Canadian tire. Able auctions bought over 4 million dollars worth of there inventory and is now selling it at 75% off retail. Dates are as follows
July 26-28 I've included info from the website Flyer - Able Auctions |

Website said both: Quote: |
NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION, IT WILL BE A LIQUIDATION STORE IN OUR WAREHOUSE, ITEMS WILL BE 75% OFF MARKED RETAIL PRICES, FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!
| Quote: |
As a result, Able Auctions will sell this massive inventory valued at over $4 Million at 50% off - first come first served. Remaining items will be sold by way of auction in dealer lots.
| Like IKEA's ASIS, obviously not every item will be 75% off. So most likely items are ranged between 50-75% off?

I hope this is a little better than the 70% sale at the Kingway location, LOLOLOLOLOL.
J/K, I'll be there. You can count on it. This is what we frugal Asians live for.

You'd cannibalize sales for CTC in that city for months to come.

And yes, transport adds up. A client of mine bought an estate book collection for 20k...spent 40k to transport it here...spent more money hiring a college kid to sort through it in the basement of the building.
I asked him once how he made out in sales of books....$1500...gross. Apparently, it was an estate collection of total crap.

I was in transportation myself and yeah, I did the math.
They also had to have people load books. Out of a house. By hand.

Oh, and you are picking the ONE area he got screwed? He spent 60k, and made back $1500. I think the entire affair goes down as one big colossal fuck up  | |

But yeah, that's one giant lesson learned, I'll bet.

MG, I'm looking for a new blender, but probably won't be able to get there on the first day. I doubt people will be rushing to get those anyways. Would you kindly let me know how much they are priced at when you get back? | |

If I knew you guys, then I'd offer, but alas, I don't know you guys from a hole in the wall, or the other way around. Sorry..........
I guess I can take pics and upload them.
I imagine the larger ticketed items or specific lots will be up for auction. I will post details as soon as I find out.
