The best deals at store closing sales are during the last day of business or more specifically the last hour or two the store is open for. But by then most of the sucke....errrrr..I mean customers have bought up anything of real value and all you're left with are the crumbs from their feeding frenzy of stupidity.
I went to closing sales in the early 2000's(talking 03-04 here) and even on the last day it seemed like they couldn't give away all the leftover stock. But now people gobble this shit up at 10-20% off. What's worse is they won't raise the percentages off while these morons are buying shit at such outrageous prices. Why would they when they could make more money off these shleps who think 10-30% off is a 'good deal'?

I've seen several stores do tiered discounts - e.g. day 1 is 10% off, day 2 is 20%, etc etc all the way until 80-90% off before the place closes. It's a good incentive for people to go buy what they want sooner, actually.

Everything was overpriced
With the ability to compare prices on your phone, why would you not check out a store closing sale? Especially on sporting equipment. Check Amazon - if it's cheaper and in front of you, buy it. If not, don't. You can get some gems that way. I got great deals when Circuit City went out of business doing just that.
