Border's is not running the liquidation of it's stores. That is being handled by companies who specialize in this sort of thing. Depending on what you want, store liquidations are rarely a good deal. They tend to play on people's need for a good deal while manipulating pricing (legaly) and signage to maximize returns.

This really more akin to modern salvage operators going back in time to April 14 1912 so they can watch as the thing goes under and know where to look later.
