I just walked out on my job because of Hilco being contracted to close our location. I witnessed exactly that, putting defective merchandise back on the floor, with NO defective or "as is" stickers, all as a final sale. When I tried to remove it from the floor, we were told that Hilco wanted it ALL out on the floor for sale. Hilco has alienated our customers, who might not shop at another one of our stores because as far as they know, our company still owns the store. I also might add that all promises made were not kept and they had a bunch of 50+ women who are not used to hard labor (yes, hard labor) cleaning out lofts and putting us all in dangerous situations, simply because they never intended to send a crew to do the muscle work. On top of that they played head games with a couple of the employees, things that are unethical and most likely illegal in this state. I was in a position to witness this myself.

I work for the Liquidation company and this is simply not true. The liquidators are not the ones that put the defective merchandise back on the sales floor, it was the Asset Protection team from Circuit City that did this. They were trying to get as much money through the register as possible, which means more money for them and it looks better on them because they didnt do their job in the first place. The AP team is supposed to make regualr visits verifying defective merchandise and then ensuring the store sends it out. When the liquidators arrived, we discovered defective merchandise that had been sitting for MONTHS that never got sent out. I personally made sure that it was sent out immediately and was never put back on the floor. If this happened, it only happened at the shady stores where management and the AP team didnt want to get in trouble.
