HMV’s two-week long liquidation sale, the largest for a collapsed retailer in Hong Kong for a decade, started at 11am at W Square in Wan Chai. More than 100,000 CDs, DVDs, vinyl records, toys, iPhones and headphones are available at discounts ranging from 50 to 90 per cent.
Alex Fasso, a music lover, was among the first customers who patiently waited for nearly an hour in the queue to enter the venue.
“It is the last chance to look for a good bargain for vinyl and CDs at HMV,” Fasso said as he browsed some 9,000 vinyl records featuring Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and David Bowie and local stars like Denny Chan Pak-keung, Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing and Anita Mui.

“It is a shame to see HMV close. My dad and I used to visit the HMV shops regularly. They used to be very crowded until around 2010 when CDs were still popular.”
