Just to clarify, Office Depot is not going to ship merchandise from these stores to other stores, they are selling the inventory to a liquidator at around 80% of its cost. There should be some good bargains as they try to get rid of any merchandise that they would otherwise take a write-off on, and the liquidator doesn't want to buy old, discontinued product either.
OfficeMax is going to announce their 45-50 stores that they are closing next week as well, and the same rules should apply.
