First post! Please be nice
Myer Hornsby inside Westfield is closing down. No date is announced so I assume they will be open until the start of next year to clear out as much as they can.

Sales vary between 20 ~ 40% off the lowest ticketed price.
40% were:
Men's clothes
Jewelry
Cookware
Perfumes
Luggages (Samsonite, Antler, very few American Tourister left)

30% off were:
Limited electronics (some were 20% off)
Women's clothes and accessories

Limited bedding and toys as well, everything is discounted but it seemed like they've been through a typhoon of local residents taking advantage.

If you live close enough, it would be worth a visit.
If you are distant but are interested in some smaller SMEG kitchenware or an LG Cord Zero vacuum or something of higher value, better to ring up and check before visiting.

      This AFR news story mentions that it'll close in January:

      The group also plans to close both its Hornsby store and its controversial clearance floors by January.

          @[Deactivated]: The AFR article didn't give any more details.

          I think Myer investors don't like them because the items sold on them have very low margins.

          However, the Myer solution is to plunge more downmarket than ever before by relying on – pardon the contradiction to discount fatigue – “dedicated clearance floors in eight stores”.

          Consider the confusing message that clearance floors in existing stores sends to consumers, not just where they are located, but across the store network.

          It is incomprehensible that Umbers should be excited about have 20,000 sqm of premium retail floorspace devoted to offloading buying mistakes, to clearing the merchandise that customers didn’t want to buy or, at least, rejected the value proposition of the original pricing structures.

          Myer morphing to discount brand Dimmeys doesn’t seem like a particularly smart strategy and the damage to brand and retail positioning will be substantial, notwithstanding Umbers’ enthusiasm for results of a trial of the dedicated clearance floor at Frankston.

          Anyway, Myer clearance spaces are already at the Frankston, Penrith, Logan, Roselands, Tea Tree Plaza and Knox stores as well as, incredibly, the tourist-rich Perth city store and the new Pacific Fair store on the Gold Coast.

          If the clearance floors don’t fire up the turnaround, there is always the Myer shrink strategy that has cut retail floorspace by 24,368 sqm through store closures in the past year at Wollongong, Brookside and Orange and surrendered space at Dubbo and Cairns.

  40% off samsonite is like 1/2 price connoisseur at woolies or 40% off sheridan sheets, anyone paying full price are these are just getting their ass kicked.

    Same goes with Kathmandu. On the other hand Apple always sells at RRP. It make us somewhat feel our money is well spent although in reality we are getting ripped off. Sony products RRP is also at least 40% higher that what they should be selling at.

  Myer has a general 40% off suitcases and backpack sale for purchases over $299 on at the moment, so this isn't anything special. (For luggage at least)

    This is 40% off the lowest ticketed price, which should be reflected by the special above. i.e. 40% off the 40% - so actually very special.
