Description:

Man, oh, man! This is a FANTASTIC sale. Liquid Events does a phenomenal job of hosting great sales - good quality merchandise at unbelievably reduced prices.

They are the MODEL of what a great warehouse sale should be!!! In addition, Liquid Events sales are part of the reason I started this site.

This sale is called the “Get in the Season” sale and offers a focus on specialty and holiday gifts. Some of the companies / brands represented are:

• RedEnvelope
• KN Karen Neuburger
• TravelSmith
• Indigenous
• Roost
• Blissliving Home
• Elsa L.

I guarantee that if you have a need for gifts or clothing, you will not be disappointed by the sale. Prices are often further reduced on Sunday afternoon, but the pickings are slimmer and the check-out lines longer.

Last spring, I attended a Liquid Events sale at the same location. It was GREAT. Not only was there a fabulous selection at unbeatable prices, but the line for the cash registers ran relatively quickly.

The changing room is one big area, so if you’re shy about being seen in your undies, wear a long shirt you can change under. Also remember to wear shoes that slip on and off easily for quicker change-outs.

Have fun!

When: Saturday, November 1, 2008 - closing
Where: 15 Crescent Drive, Pleasant Hill, CA (925) 687-9956

Description:

They’re advertising price drops of 75% off and they just announced the sale. The store is closing, so it’s as supplies last. With a name like “Furniture 4 Less,” it might be “crappy, tacky furniture 4 less,” but if you live nearby, check it out. Sometimes poorly named businesses actually carry really nice stuff. The same is true in the opposite direction

When: Now, while supplies last, I think

Description:

I don’t know bupkus about musical instruments and their perceived value (do people race out to get the latest model of a drum set, or, like a good wine or cheese, do instruments get better with age? Are certain models from certain years better than others?). Therefore, I couldn’t tell you if the prices that are “slashed” in this pre-holiday clearance sale are really that steeply cut on good stuff, or if the business is just trying to dump junk no one wants. Also, couldn’t tell you if the site jacked the “original” price before slashing.

I don’t mean to condemn the site for bad practices - this is probably a great deal for those on the hunt for musical instruments. I just wanted to be clear about my own ignorance.

Anyway, supplies are limited. Check it out and see if you find the guitar that makes you the next Neil Young.
