Liquidation on Fox! (and in other news…)
Monday, January 14th, 2008
Last week, Fox 11 News in Los Angeles interviewed our CEO, Bill Angrick, from Fullerton for a great feature on holiday returns. The segment has since been picked up by other Fox stations and aired throughout the U.S. including in Atlanta, Minneapolis, Cleveland, San Diego, Philadelphia, Tampa, Phoenix and some of you may have caught it on our local Fox station in D.C. You can view the segment online here:
http://www.fox6.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=403404@video.fox6.com&navCatId=5 (be patient as there is a long ad you have to watch before our segment).
In addition, the Orange County Register featured LSI in its Saturday edition Money Section, generating great local exposure for Liquidation.com and the STR facility in Fullerton. The online version of the article can be seen here: http://www.ocregister.com/news/services-liquidity-merchandise-1957504-warehouse-buyers

WSRadio (the folks who produce the eBay Radio show) has recently launched a website called 50SellingTips.com , which has several audio tips from top eBay selling experts like Marsha Collier, Lynn Dralle, Mike Enos, and Skip McGrath.
