Sunset Virgin Megastore Closure Percentage Off & Remaining Stock Check Update Thread

By Victor - Friday January 04th 2008

Sunset VirginWhile it is not without some regret we mark the closing of yet another shuttered record shop–albeit in this case, just one outlet of a behemoth chain–this thread is not for maudlin memories, but for Losanjealenos to post updates on the current percent of markdowns and the state of the remaining product as the Sunset Megastore approaches it’s February closure.

We may or may not admit it, but the %-off n influences what we may or may not take home on a sliding scale: i.e., The higher the markdown = the lower our standards = increased willingness to take home some dubious product to plug some gaps in our collections. Of course complicating this is the variable that the longer you hold out on pulling the trigger on a buy, waiting for a higher markdown, the more likely your product is going to be snapped up by others.

The below handy table can help guide your purchases, with an aim to help you snap up what you’re after before the shelves are bare.

Percentage Off Example Appropriate Purchase
30% Criterion Collection DVD titles
40% Core pop canon CD box sets (i.e., Talking Heads, Velvet Underground, Nick Drake, etc.) Not allowed: “Nuggets” or “Brit Box” or other half-baked genre catchall boxes.
50% Any post-Young Americans Bowie album (excluding Let’s Dance or anything Tin Machine)
60% Person Pitch by Panda Bear or other random Pitchfork ≥8.0 LP from ‘07
70% European magazines for fanned-out coffee table display (must exceed 300 pp., 2 lbs., and/or $10 USD)
80% New vintage Ramones T-shirt
90% Arli$$ DVD box set (Season 9 only)
100% Eagles Greatest Hits



What now?

    Oh man, “Nuggets” couldn’t be further away from a “half-baked genre catchall box”. “The Brit Box”, on the other hand…

    Yeah, Dave, on second thought, maybe Nuggets wasn’t the best example of what I was trying to say, as the individual tracks and CDs inside are all pretty much great. It’s just going with whole decade/genre-in-a-box instead of single artist box collections that I was hoping to warn against. I know my judgment gets clouded when I see big those % markdowns…

    This is sad news.. it was an amazing store you could buy anything in. Okay.. I live in Palm Springs so don’t get to Hollywood as much as I want to.. but where can you go and buy a CD or DVD these days? Is Amoeba gone now? Is there any megastore left or is it all neighborhood Borders now? Please enlighten me.

    Thank you, SteeksRed. Coincidentally, I was hoping for some good Aikido techniques, styles, and history today, as well as information including moves, weapons and video training. Your website seems perfect, for if I am to take you at your word, it appears to contain all that I am looking for, and possibly more, at that. As a result I will definitely now click both links, which are actually the same link, as well as cut and paste the same link yet again, which has been helpfully typed out as a non-link a third time, into my browser.

    Many people with humour here.
    Another fun thing about going other sites is that people can enjoy funny things. Often when the same people are around us, we fall into boring behavior. We repeat thing over and over. So in holidays you have the chance to leave of that pattern of behavior. Go for somethin greally new. Mountainbiking, anyone? It is always exciting. And it great fun, you can have a lot of humour.

    Social contacts with specific groups are often like a small neighborhood. Social networking is possible personnally, especially in your job or holidays, but also online. This is because the internet is filled with miriads of fun places, lots of jokes, any many places to meet friends, if not more, of persons who are looking to meet other internet friends and develop good relations. Most of these people are Tweens, so young people in the age fo 20 to 30. So meet young people there. Its time to seek the opportunities.

    But better than online gaming, a real live Karaoke singing helps to find new friendship, have a lot of fun, laugh a lot. Karaoke came from Asia, but it is in fact popular all over the world. Karaoke singers share a common hobby, wich is entertainment at its best. In the moment you are granted access to a karaoke competition you can start to find new friends. Karaoke USA is a good place for Karaoke in the USA.
