Does anyone know where they have a store with Costco liquidation items, such as returns or overstocked items? Its not an actual Costco store, but they had one in a different state where I was that had Costco items for very cheap, I haven't heard of one in the Northern Virginia area. Anyone else know if there is one like that around here?

Ive seen these before, actually shooped at one. I talked to a Manager at costco last year, and he said they actually dont have one in the NOVA area. Check their dumpsters though... Sometimes some good stuff!

Some areas have Costco outlets. Here, they would probably go through local liquidators or auctioneers where the merchandise is auctioned off for resale. This place showed up on search for Costco liquidation in Virginia.

http://www.rasmus.com/

Maybe there are stores in the area that resell goods.

I work at one of your friendly local Costco locations and all our returned merchandise that we can't put back on the warehouse floor is repackaged and shipped via UPS to a depot in Frederick, Maryland who then donates a portion to charities (for the write offs, of course) and the rest goes to "salvage" companies who then resell them to various enitities. There also have been cases of returned furniture ending up in certain warehouse managers homes... won't name names here.

For $100, would you help a customer loading a shitload of electronics into their car and just happen to forget to check the receipt?

Shit, I'd do it for 20. But just to drain all the fun out of this, it'd be tricky to pull off something like that. Receipt checkers at Costco, especially mine, are notoriously nosey and self important, and believe it or not employees get hasseled (e.g. having our bags and pockets checked) more so than most members (excluding non-white, under 26 years of age members, also notorious for hassling them). Just run out the fire exit like everyone else.

Is Costco still a good place for hooking up between employees? When I just out of college, I had a friend who worked there and she said that it was hookup central among the employees who were late teens to mid 20's. Too bad that I had obtained a "real" job. Otherwise I may have tried to get a stop-gap job there.

Hah, funny you mention that, I didn't realize we had a reputation. Yes, it definitely is, and we tend to stick, there are several married couples who work at my location. But it's not just us in our "youth" so to speak. Some of the old bags around there like to get it on occasionally. Doesn't really make anything better, because in the end you're still working in retail.

I am costco employee and I know for we do not have liquidation stores. All items returned has to go back to vendor, or thrown away. If it's thrown away it's enclosed dumpster. Overstocked items sit on our steels to be sold!!!

There's a place in Hamilton, VA - West of Leesburg - that I understand buys non-sellable stuff from CostCo, and other stores. Some of the stuff looks like damaged floor models. The greatness of their deals varies, from what I recall. I don't remember exactly what they had on the shelves though; it's probably been 5 years, if not more.

I don't know the full story behind the store, but it's called the Mosby Center and you can find some reviews if you search for it. Feel free to post your own here too.

My amigo Jesus works at the Costco near Springfield. Whenever they get a new TV in, he calls me. One goes on the floor. Another one in an open box goes out next to the dumpster. He calls me, I arrive withn 20 minutes and load a brand new free TV into my Explorer. So far I got a 55" LG, a 47" Samsung and a 32" Panasonic. Next week he is going to get me a 60" Sharp.

You mean the same Costco that stops every customer on their way out the store to check their receipts? Yeah, that's a believable story.

When Jesus is taking a lot of cardboard boxes to the trash, they never check! If I had a digital camera, I would post pictures of the TVs in my house. Maybe I'll have Jesus get me one of those too!

You do realize that by now thousands of people around the country that read here have called the Springfield Costco and reported this forum and Jesus to them, yes?

Shawnmart.com in Temple Hills, MD sells items from Coscto. I think he said he gets items from Arundel Mills, MD and I can't remember the other location. He is open one day a week on Saturdays on 4826 Stamp Rd. Black owned.

Shawnmart was sold about one month ago to Koreans for $50k. I feel like crying with the new setup/store. Gone are the days that if we paid cash then we did not pay tax on the item. Shawn use to sell Ebelskiver Filled Pancake Pans for $1.99, now Chingy sells them for $11.99. How I miss the good old days! Shawn said that it was too time consuming and did not allow him to spend much time with his family.

Costco dumspters always the good stuff in them.

Y oucan always find new Xboxes and sometimes whole stereo set ups, other times they just toss out boxes of cash, just because it had some small scratches on it.

Our buddy Vito tips everyone off when they toss the good stuff, and he says next week they are tossing 2-3 flat screens, 10-15 computers and 20-30,000 cash money out.

It all goes in the dumspter after the store closes.

Be there at Midnight, ask for Gerry.

The Mosby Center in Hamilton, VA. Seems as though they sell things about 1/3 off. If you buy electronics, make sure you have all the cords. A great value, buyer buys at own risk and a very strict return policy. I have bought TVs and a camcorder there and have had great success; however, had to return to the store for missing cords.

I'm not sure if it's actually run by Costco or not but, there's a store called NOVA Overstock located in the Trade Center Shopping Center at 400 South Pickett Street in Alexandria. (It's next door to the Alexandria Mercedes dealership.) All of their stock is stuff that was bought and returned to Costco and couldn't be re-sold. It's a miserable store to go into but, if you're looking for deals...drop on by.

- If there’s a sizable disparity within the height of the 'maids, short dresses might be more flattering. Petite women may go through they drown inside a long gown, while statuesque bridesmaids might not be able to order extra length in each and every style.

If you don’t possess a strong vision, make sure to ask your bridesmaids their opinions. After all, those are the ones who definitely are wearing the dresses, but ultimately, your decision is up to you! For inspiration, view more bridesmaid gowns within our photo galleries!
