[alpinex8]

...

[mrchicken213]

Are you sure about these. I only hope there is one by my place.

[MrX]

WOW thank OP going out in the AM to see if I can get so lucky

[ppyxr]

holy cow! time to have a trip to Sams club tomorrow!
btw which city do you live in?

[Prepster]

Hmmm, after seeing this I might have to go to Sams club tomorrow as well. I keep seeing a bunch of people on here talk about their great scores at Sams, so I think its time I make a trip there.

Btw very nice score and hopefully this isn't as ymmv Sams Club clearances have been.

[alpinex8]

Not Sure what you mean by that? That's what i got these for but as always sams is YMMV but from what the employee said all sams club are marking down there games.

[Swift900]

I'm eager to hear back from those who check this out tomorrow.

[mrchicken213]

i might, but i have to work tomorrow
i will search for the nearest by my place.

[alpinex8]

Yeah I want everyone to check out there local sams cause the dude told me that all sams were marking stuff down. Not every thing was marked down thou they had GRAW 2, Rainbow 6 Vegas, Battlestations Midway, Sonic, And Some other wii and 360 games for the normal 40 - 50 dollar range.

[mrchicken213]

Does anyone know if i need to become a memeber to shop inside that store.

[triforcer]

may i ask how you stumbled upon your great find?

[neudog]

Does anyone know if i need to become a memeber to shop inside that store.

No, but you do need a visitor pass, which I think are printable at the website. Also with the Visitors pass it adds 10% to your total cost.

[HELLAWAITS]

Wow!! I'm goin' to Sam's (today Sat 5 de Mayo) .......damn those prices... I'll be checking them out and let you know later , I might need to renew my membership but I was gonna anyways.... I'll keep you posted.

[R1V3R5]

No, but you do need a visitor pass, which I think are printable at the website. Also with the Visitors pass it adds 10% to your total cost.

Someone find this on their site? I don't see it and want to stop in there.

[Kromis]

Sweet mother of God...

[QSilverTwo]

I forget, does sams have self scanners or do you have to get an employee or take the items up front to a register? Also, OP how did you know which ones to scan or did you just scan all the games you could?

[booya42301]

is this without the membership?

[SteveGo]

Wow, way to hoard OP. I guess we should check ebay for those games you have multiples of.

[alpinex8]

...

[Slim Gatsby]

Wow, way to hoard OP. I guess we should check ebay for those games you have multiples of.

Wow, snark much? :drool:

Anyway, thanks for the tip off, OP. My area is generally cleaned out the second anything goes on sale, but hopefully I'll get there in time to snag some goodies (and maybe an extra copy or two for trading, I needs me a Super Paper Mario cheaply).

[cdeener]

Just to let you all know don't get your hopes up because just like their parent company Wal-Mart all deals that are found at Sam's Club are extremely YMMV because each store prices their items differently. So, the OP is lucky that his area store did this also I wouldn't call it hoarding if he passes the savings on to his fellow CAGs or others at a cheap price.

P.S. next time OP don't make the pics so big for those that don't have High Speed Internet can find out about your deal without having to wait a long time for those big pics to load.

[Rimmit]

Wow, way to hoard OP. I guess we should check ebay for those games you have multiples of.

Lay off, this is not some Ebay ethics forum. If he wants 100 copies of a game, that's his right.

[Chitown021]

Lay off, this is not some Ebay ethics forum. If he wants 100 copies of a game, that's his right.


No, he's wrong for being a fricking hoarder but let's not turn this thread into another ethics debate.

[pimpinc333]

Being a Sam's Employee those are some crazy low prices. For a Store to have low prices liek that it depends on who is in charge of their markdowns. My store doesn't mark things down a lot for some reason or another.

What happens though is Sam's Employee's are lazy to change the Markdowns. Every week someone that works there has to do paperwork that Sam's cals "No Movement" is something isn't sellign it appears on this list. If it's out for sale and still not selling they take a price drop. Once a price drop occurs this is when the Employee is lazy and doesn't print out he signs for it. Then the same shit occurs every week. The item appears on No Movement gets another markdown and repeat until you have crazy crazy low prices like these.

[tcrash247]

Man, I need to find one of these "visitor's passes." Anyone that can help a brother out?

[Rictor]

Man, I need to find one of these "visitor's passes." Anyone that can help a brother out?

You don't need one...just walk into the store, tell them you don't have a pass, and they'll let you in anyway to see if you want to buy one. If you buy anything while you're in there, they had 10% to your order. If you're buying a lot of stuff, it's probably cheaper to buy the pass than to pay the 10% extra.

I don't have a membership, but I go in Sam's Club every once in a while to look around. I just tell the guy checking memberships that I don't have one, but I want to look around, and they are always happy to let you.

That said, no one is going to find these deals unless they go to the same Sam's Club the OP went to. Just like Wal-Mart, Sam's Club clearance deals are always specific to one store.

[daminion]

My Sam's has crazy prices on their games as well... but it's in the opposite direction.

Example: Ice Age for the Wii: $62, Resistance for PS3: $68, SMB for the Wii: $59... yes, all of those prices are ABOVE RETAIL at the "Discount Warehouse"...

[waxHead]

Hey OP, which Sam's Club was this at?

[nikkai]

Damn you Costco! =P

[fwacce]

Lay off, this is not some Ebay ethics forum. If he wants 100 copies of a game, that's his right.

If it's his right for buying that many, then it's anyone else's right to complain. You can't have it both ways.

[SaraAB]

Yes, my sams club has "above retail" prices for games as well, super monkey ball wii for like 56$ etc..

They also price gouge us on milk when I can get milk at wegmans for 2.09 a gallon and sam's charges like 2.75 or 3$ a gallon, honestly I don't even know why we are members there.

[norkusa]

Get a membership instead. If you show them a business card, you can get a 1-year membership for $35. Got one last week and picked up a 360 wireless racing wheel for $120. I think that's the universal Sam's Club sale price and not a YMMV. Got some good deals there.

Are you sure? Milk in some States are regulated by the State so they have to remain a certain price. Not too sure about NY but PA is like that.

[help1]

Wow, way to hoard OP. I guess we should check ebay for those games you have multiples of.

He bouth 3 copies of some games. Maybe some are for his friends? Mabe you you don't know how the friend system works... you buy things for them if you know they are interested and its really cheap.

[SmellsLikeRandyMossGuy]

I don't care what people hoard. It's actually smarter to hoard, especially if you can sell them for 10x minimum. That's how a business makes money. Great find man. I just wish the nearest Sam's wasn't an hour away otherwise I would go look.

[dallow]

See post 19.

[sirplue]

it may be futile, but I'll check it out later today regardless. lol Thanks OP.

[Nephilim]

imageshack sucks, huge ad came up and crashed my browser.

anyhow, good post OP and way to hoard those games!!!

[floormat]

fort wayne indiana sams has none of these on sale.

only thing maybe worth mentioning is

lumines ps2 - $10


gears of war was $51 and several others were the typical 3-5 dollars off sams prices. bleh. good luck for those who can get.

[yukafls]

MAN!!!!! I am on my way to sams club right now. Thanks for the info:D:D:D:D:D:D

[SteveGo]

Wow this website sure has come a long way, gotta love all these new members, they really add a lot. So much for being a community, might as well be fatwallet Jr.

[waxHead]

Wow this website sure has come a long way, gotta love all these new members, they really add a lot. So much for being a community, might as well be fatwallet Jr.
Gotta love the "In it for myself and fuck everyone else" attitude, big reason why I post so intermittently here.

[scott2hotcott]

And here I thought my $39 Lost Planet a few weeks ago at Sam's was an awesome deal. Nice score OP, and thanks for putting my deal to shame.:)

[onikage]

Wow this website sure has come a long way, gotta love all these new members, they really add a lot. So much for being a community, might as well be fatwallet Jr.

It isn't just new members, but it does seem like things have gotten progressively more FW-like. The more popular the site becomes, the better chance you have of attracting members only looking to make a profit.

[Sofa King Kool]

I really need to get to a Sam's Club. So many different YMMV deals. I should see what mine has.

[Rozz]

If not for THP8 I would hit up Sam's Club today but I'm just gonna check out Costco instead since this is YMMV.

[shrike4242]

Pics of the games in question. Prices, no idea, as the OP deleted the info:

OP is in CA, so plan accordingly if you're not in CA.

[oasisboy]

Who cares? As long as people don't rob banks or kill people, then it really does not matter how people make a living, what is the deal with everybody complaining to the OP. I would have done the same, so what? Just chill down people... :applause:

OP, dont let the babies here scare you away, good job on your find! :)

[SmellsLikeRandyMossGuy]

What is the big f'n deal if someone wants to make a profit? Ever think they have bills to pay and maybe they need the extra cash? Get the **** off of people's backs alright. It's not ****ing right. So what if someone makes a profit. It's not going to effect you in any way unless you live in the same damn city which is highly unlikely. Besides, he's probably going to use the money for more gaming.

You're a moron if you think you're better than someone else because you don't resell a game.

I mean this guy is very smart and so are others who do the same. They purchase a game and some copies to sell.... so they basically get their game for free plus a few extra bucks for other games. The company that makes the games still get the money and if people want to buy their game from the guy (by choice might I add) because it's still cheaper than retail, why the **** should you complain. No one is keeping you from finding your own deal at your local store.

I could maybe see the claim if you lived in the same are but you don't. So shut the **** up and stop pretending you're better than others.

I rather buy a game from a guy like him through eBay than a GameStop or other ripoff store.

You want to bitch about someone, bitch about pirates.

Alright, enough is enough. End of story.

[dallow]

Unfortunately, my local Sams had nothing.
Everything at full price minus decent prices for old XBOX and PS2 games.

The new Spiderman 3 game was 53.99 though for PS3/360.

[Valkryst]

OP went emo and deleted the deal.... Lock or delete?

No clue what the deal was =(

[SmellsLikeRandyMossGuy]

I'll fight for OP any day of the week. He did nothing wrong. Some jerks were just morons.

[Owen]

I read this post last night, all the games were real cheap with Gears Of War being the most expensive one he bought at $17 and Saints Row was like $10.

[wes]

So how much is Raving Rabbits on sale for?

[sarausagi]

You people are complaining about someone "hoarding" at a wholesale store? At a store that REQUIRES a membership and sells most everything except games, movies, and jewelry in BULK?! I'd rather a cag make some mass profit instead of some convenience store owner or cell phone shop guy selling them in his misc items window.

I do think he should have put this in bragging rights though, it's extremely "YMMV" and I'm pretty sure 9/10 of us don't have a Sam's or don't have membership.

[SaraAB]

I am 100% positive about the variation in milk prices here, as we have gone to multiple stores on the same day and sams was like 2.75 or 2.80 a gallon, and wegmans was 2.09 a gallon, heck if you go to delta sonic you can get a gallon of milk for 1.99!

They NEVER have any good video games in my sam's club, they are all overpriced, either that or its kid-game x that didn't sell at other stores, I would be better off going to gamestop to buy my games as I would be saving myself more money. I wonder if sam's is getting out of selling video games, they never have anything new at my location, didn't even have Pokemon D/P and all the other stores around here had plenty of copies left.

Well I AM in the same area as the OP so I'll complain all I want. I think I know where he found these games but have NO idea if he left any or even what the prices were. So thanks OP for deleting your info in the OP. It doesn't help any of us now.

[philamark]

I get the same feeling as you. My local Sam's used to have a great selection of video games in all formats, now it's just movie tie in games and other stuff I'm never interested in.

[sarausagi]

Hey you guys, I just went to Wal-Mart and this guy was totally hoarding the Dr Pepper! I just wanted a 12 pack to take home but this guy needed it to fill up his gas station! Fucking convenience store trash, then I saw this other person buy like 50 copies of Dreamgirls, fuck, they want to make money, fucking losers, they should be deported!

[lawdood]

Well a fellow area CAG just checked the Sam's Club that I'm pretty sure the OP found his games at and sure enough, it's been wiped clean except for a $13 Genji for PS3.

yeah hoarders rule....thx tivowithlime. :roll:

[Stoneage]

So basically, if you hoard, don't post it as a deal. Or at the very least, say there was 1 of each left, and don't post pictures.

[Kromis]

OP is in CA, so plan accordingly if you're not in CA.

All I remember was that he got Gears of War for $16.22 (or was it $16.44?)

[GeorgeCostanza]

I just got back from the Sam's club in question (located in Sacramento) and they were wiped. I asked for help because I thought maybe they had a seperate clearance area, they guy said that they were mostly gone and that someone picked up about 30 games yesterday. Oh well I wish I hadn't drove all that way, its just too bad he didn't leave anything. This thread should be in braggin rights. Good luck on ebay!

[Thongsy]

According to those pics he only hoard the crappy madden and fight night and other junk people probably wouldn't care about. Or did he mention he got like five copies of GoW? Anyways, it's Sams and I thought we had all come to the conclusion any Sam Club deal should be bragging rights as it is always extremely YMMV.

[urzishra14]

i don't mind a bit or hording every once in a while.. it seems like a misprice to me.. if the Sams was anything like the one i go to.. all the games are all jumbled together and someone probably just marked a bunch down..

yeah don't post pictures of stuff you horde though nobody likes that (unless they are the ones doing the hording) just say you picked up a few for your friends or there were a only 1 or 2 left.

[zozozo333]

Half the time, everyone screams for pictures as proof they really bought five thousand copies of whatever so the OP was just trying to skip that bs and just posted the pictures.

[GeorgeCostanza]

Here are the games the guy is selling. There all crap. Must be holding the good ones for later or something.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtivowithlimeQQhtZ-1

[Friend of Sonic]

Wow. He hoarded some real shit.

[SNKMat]

STFU about him hoarding, you'll would've done the same.

[JJSP]

All I remember was that he got Gears of War for $16.22 (or was it $16.44?)
Tony Hawk Project 8 was $3 and change.
Fight Night Round 3 was $7 and change.

[InvaderZim]

STFU about him hoarding, you'll would've done the same.

Exactly... a few people are just pissed they didn't walk into the deal.

I'm happy he sharred then info. I went out and bought a few games this afternoon... I could care less if he cleaned that store out. If he didn't the next person would have.

[onikage]

STFU about him hoarding, you'll would've done the same.

People like you are the ones being referenced, in regard to site becoming more like FW. You can't assume that everyone would have done the same. I'd like to think that the spirit of this site is still more about spreading the wealth of a deal, rather than the greed associated with picking up every copy of a game/games for resale. It isn't something to spaz out about either way.

[almasy82]

agrees with invaderzim... stop bashing. At least he posted for you guys to look at your local sams club.
Jeez

[GrimNecroWizard]

STFU about him hoarding, you'll would've done the same.

Umm...No.

I'd buy what I want and play them, I don't need spend all that time to make a couple bucks.

[lawdood]

Exactly... a few people are just pissed they didn't walk into the deal.

No, I nor GeorgeCostanza would have NEWB. It's people like you who really aren't needed on this site.

[lawdood]

agrees with invaderzim... stop bashing. At least he posted for you guys to look at your local sams club.
Jeez

We did...it's the one he cleaned out. :roll:

[drsuper23]

I don't have a Sam's around me but I'll sure go and check those out. That plus go to Costco to see if they have a copy of TH for the 360. We need an employee of Sam's to let us know more information about the markdown process. It looks like what they do at Target except the MD's don't go into effect unless someone takes action on it. If I could get cheap games from Sam's from time to time, it would probably be worth the membership. As far as hoarding is concerned, I don't care as much if you pass a couple of them on to CAGs since for the most part you look for cheap games because of this site. If you want to make a profit on a couple, then sell a couple here that would be ok with me. If you buy 10 just for greed then that doesn't belong here.

[JJSP]

I know I'm considered new here, but I know that there's a pretty large handful of CAG's that would have "hoarded" those games too. Difference is, they'd have done it and brought them straight to CAG, and sold them off for a couple bucks of profit for their gas, shipping, and time. There's the arguement.

Take from the community, give back to the community.

[alpinex8]

...

[lawdood]

The sams i went to was not in the "sacramento area" for people that keep saying it was in sacramento.

Well where was it then? You live in Sac and have posted about the deals at the one on Watt Ave. Between the two of us we actually hit most all the Sam's Clubs in the area today and found squat.

[alpinex8]

We did...it's the one he cleaned out. :roll:

Which sams did you go to??? I didn't get these from sacramento and I hardly call buying 2 extra copies of Madden and Sponebob and 1 extra copy of a few other games hoarding. And as far as crash goes meh... And then on top of all that. Do you know how many people come on here and stock up on deal I bought a few extra copies of some crappy games. Because all the games you see i bought i didn't have them. And like i said this was not in the sacramento area that i got these games because there were so many extra copies of other games that i didn't bother with its not even funny. Like PS3 and PSP etc... I don't have those systems so I didn't buy those games The only reason i bought extra copies is to save for when they have trade in 2 get 1 free type of deals.

[CocheseUGA]

If you hoard, fine. I don't want to hear it or see it. And if I do, bet your ass I'm going to call you out on it.

[alpinex8]

...

[alpinex8]

...

[CocheseUGA]

A) You removed your pictures for a reason, and it wasn't because your bandwidth went out on you. So feel free to eat a dick.

B) I was speaking in relative terms, so if that applies to you, see A.

[alpinex8]

I try to help people out and since i bought a few extra copies people freak out it back to just reading for me no more posting.

[drsuper23]

This thread nees to be locked up. It's not a deal anymore I suppose.

[joe lee]

What was the deal anyway? OP edited his post.

[j.elles]

You shouldnt bash people because then they won't post the deal.

But at the same time hording is wrong. You shouldnt buy 10 of 1 game.

And at least he admitted it. He didnt have to say he got them all.

[JJSP]

I try to help people out and since i bought a few extra copies people freak out it back to just reading for me no more posting.
You can't help people out if you a) delete your posts and b) mark it as YMMV, and not reveal location.

Man up.

[mith0s]

Can someone explain to me what happened...just interested in the details of what he posted

[KrayzieKMF]

if you want the list of games and prices i saw it on fatwallet a bit after this topic was posted

[lawdood]

Dood, then TELL us WHERE you picked them up please. If there's "so many extra copies" of other games for other systems then us fellow CAG's in Nor Cal would love to know where this treasure trove is.

Plus, it's hard for me to believe you when your excuse of buying the extras for the trade 2 get 1 free type of deal is not exactly truthful when you already have a bunch of extras up on ebay. Or does that guy just happen to have the exact color carpet you do as well as the exact same extra games?

[ljames2332]

Has anybody check those deals in ATL, because if it is, i think u can pricematch at Circuit City.
