I want to buy the interior signs of this year's bankrupt companyies (KB Toys, Lehmans et al.)

Linens n¹ Things, Wamu .The window signs would be nice; they are back lit and will make a nice sculpture. Where can I find them? Who gets them?

Most stores that go out of business sell everything in the store including furniture and fixtures. I would go into the store and ask the managers to hold them for you.

actually, when a business folds all assets are held by the creditor (bank) and an associated liquidator, so you need to contact the store and ask who the liquidator is for the assets - only they can sell the asset (from pencil to whole building) as the transaction must be recorded against outstanding debts...

The signs are no more an asset than the merchandise on the shelves. I don't know the timing exactly, but from my experience you can indeed buy signs and furniture when a store is going out of business. Not too long ago I bought some items at my local Comp USA and they were selling shelves light bulbs and even the register they used to ring up my order. (of course they held some items until the last day before people could pick them up.)

This method makes more sense because stores will get higher prices selling their fixtures at retail while customers are already in the store rather than holding them in a warehouse after the store has already closed and only being able to sell them wholesale.

While it might seem like overkill your best option is to actually contact the company. Most of the time when a company goes out of business they will sell everything in their stores and anything that doesn't sell is then sold off to an outlet of some kind (think Big Lots or Ollies) for very very cheap but these outlets will only keep a portion of that final purchase to sell. The rest of the items are often discarded as garbage. Since companies that go bankrupt have debts they have to pay they are willing to make deals on just about anything, that way they can make as much money as possible to pay the debts down.

So don't be afraid to contact the corporate info line of these companies and see what they can do for you!
