You might be thinking the big crowds already emptied out the Cleveland City Centre Hotel in its massive liquidation sale, but think again... Half the contents remain up for grabs.
"We have, probably, 50 percent of the inventory that we started with still available for sale," says Frank Long, the president of International Content Liquidations. "We've moved into a point where we're not (only) liquidating from the guestroom floors anymore. We've brought it down and you can actually buy it (some items) right off our ground floor and load your trucks right up off the curbside."

So what's left? Plenty of $33 televisions, 600+ chairs, desks, lamps, carpet, chandeliers, trash cans, beds, dishes, coffee makers, ice buckets, linens and even a jukebox (complete for $250). That's only part of the long list of deeply discounted items you can buy.

"The diamond of the sale is our poster beds, these are King and full-size, solid poster beds," Long says. "Not $2,000, not $1,000, but $300 for the complete bed including the mattress sets. That's the best buy in the house."
When the sale first started on Jan. 12, the scene was similar to Black Friday mania as long lines formed around the building and people packed inside to get their hands on the goods.
