I'm not really surprised, the only times I've ever gone in there all they have is junk.

That was my impression. It was like a Chinese MFG warehouse closeout. All the junk that would barely stay in one piece while you carried it out the door.

They should have paid you to haul the stuff.

Like eBay, BL sometimes has undervalued closeout items,
but it's a crapshoot.

I've been expecting this for some time. A couple of years
ago BL started carrying BigLots-branded items. This said
two things:
1. Their normal supply of real closeouts, overstocks,
remainders and liquidation merchandize was running low, and
2. Because the BL-branded stuff was overpriced junk,
they think their customers are idiots.
