At the Circuit City near Manhattan's Lincoln Center, Fried, fresh off a nine-week job running clearance for a Mervyn's store in California, has plastered the storefront window with seven somewhat garish red and yellow posters: Store Closing Sale! Nothing Held Back! Entire Store on Sale! Inside, the discount stickers (30% off for furniture, mobile phone accessories, and cables, 20% off CDs and DVDs, 10% off everything else) and sale rules (no returns, no checks) are ubiquitous.
