Sharper Image closing down stores, liquidation sale ensues

Father's Day is around the corner, so if you haven't done your shopping, you better hurry up and get it done before you have to resort to dinner and movie again. Chris and I gave you a few ideas but if you're looking for something smaller that fits your budget, you might want to head over to Sharper Image to take advantage of some store closing sales.

As you know, the techie store famous for selling chair massagers and novelty gizmos filed for bankruptcy earlier this year as Ben noted. Forbes said the company has sold its remaining assets to an investment group for $49 million, and is now conducting a liquidation sale throughout 86 stores nationwide.

While it's always sad to see brick-and-mortar tech stores close down, part of me can't wait to visit the nearest Sharper Image store in search of a good sale. According to the Sharper Image website, over $50 million of inventory will be sold for 20-40 percent off.

Of course, this comes just in time for Father's Day, so head over to the nearest store closing sale (you can find a list here) and get Dad a something he'll enjoy on Father's Day. Who knows, maybe you can finally get him that robotic Elvis head he always wanted.
