I've been handling returns at work. It's absolutely insane how much unsorted stuff we have piled up in back of the cash registers. They've probably moved most of it back to the receiving room by now, though.

as for sales, a number of titles we had overstocked are 50% off, as are most calendars. I haven't really bought anything though; anything I wanted I already had.

I don't really care enough about anything other than books or music to bother searching anywhere else at the moment.
