When posting what you have found, please note the location that you found it at, example:

Philadelphia, PA
Snyder Plaza

Game Name, System, Price I would like to thank BigDirty for providing these rules as they are essentialy the same for this K-Mart clearance thread. As BiGDirty said, "This thread is for Clearance deals, not sale items or raincheck "scams"
Please Post City, State and Store (If City has many stores), game, system and price

Keep extraneous discussion to a minimum"

For the original Target Clearance thread to read more of the rules, click the link: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1593

For its continuation, click the link:

There weren't to many items to speak of, but I believe this is like the Target clearance thread where it is per store. The items that I saw were:


Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits-PS2-$15
War of the Monsters-PS2-$15
Perfect Dark-N64-$5 (major YMMV)
NCAA Gamebreaker 2003-PS2-$15


All of these were at the Las Vegas K-Mart.

Edit: title changed to K-Mart Clearance thread since so many people have said the have many of the same deals.

Note: bloodrayne has a 7 trade in at game rush, good deal if u ask me

I picked up Ico for PS2 for $9.99 at the Salem, NH location yesterday (8-3). i think this is a clearance, and for all the praise that this game got, seemed like a pretty good deal.

When I came to the stare, I saw Perfect Dark in their clearance section with a sign above it saying $5, and as i was rushing to pick one up, some guy took the last one. Oh well, maybe this notice will help others find the game.

You're wasting your time... Kmart's clearance games are all YMMV and then some. You could have 2 Kmarts in the same city with completely different selections. Plus most Kmarts don't seem to separate the clearance games, nor do the clearance games continue to drop in price. They also seem to all be really crappy games, remember Target has clearanced out games like Mario Party 4, Animal Crossing, Hitman 2 and Super Monkey Ball 2.

while whether they have the game(s) is ymmv, if they have the game(s), im pretty sure they're all at the same price...meaning if one store has a game for $1.54, all of them will have that game for $1.54...i may be wrong on this, but this is how it seems to be at the 4 kmarts that i went to a month ago when this clearance first started (as i knew, anyway)

i picked these up a couple days ago:
tiger woods ga tour 03 gc $2.99
ufc tapout 2 xbox $4.99
burnout 2 ps2 $9.99

i picked these up a month ago:
transworld surfing xbox $4.99 (now $2.99)
way of the samurai ps2 $4.99
shadow hearts ps2 $9.99
gundam f vs z ps2 $8.99
dungeons & dragons gba $4.99 (now .99)
pinball of the dead gba $4.99

i saw:
vexx ps2 $4.99
wipeout ps2 $4.99
commandos ps2 $4.99
ihra 2 ps2 $4.99

i saw a crap load more, but don't remember them...it seemed as if they were all pretty much the same games that cc had on clearance....also, armored core 3 was marked $49.99 nowhere near the clearance items and it rang up at $19.99....so don't doubt a games pricedrop just because the employees are too lazy to mark them down

I looked at 2 different KMarts in the NoVA area. They didn't have a thing. I did ask the mgr to scan Ico. He had to come to electronics because there was actually NO employee scheduled to work in that dept. I asked him to scan Ico. He did it begrudgingly, looked shocked, pressed a whole bunch of keys on the register and then told me it was $49.99.

KMart's not a good place to find games. If you can get help, you'll have to hope that they don't go changing the prices on you.

im assuming his shocked look was probably that the game was on clearance....then he told u $49.99, knowing you wouldn't want it then....then he bought it himself for the clearance price....im not sure if you were implying that he did that or not...but im sure thats probably what he did

I figured that's what he did. I'm sure he was the store manager, so I expected a little more from him. I'm not too disappointed, I could technically get ICO for free (I have $35 or so in Rewardzone GCs from BestBuy).

Trust, you're a brave man for going to all those KMarts. They're like prisons in there but the stuff you found seems like it was worth your hassle.

I was the electronics manager at K-Mart in a previous life. All stores get the same markdown list, but it is up to the individual department managers at each store to enter in the clearance pricing. I did this daily in hopes of cleaning out the old shit. Others did it once a month, because they were lazy and decided that complaining about how bad their job was was better than actually doing it. I can hardly bring myself to go into the store now, because when I ran the department, shit was tight, organized, clean. Now it just looks in total disarray, and don't even get me started on the game cases. "Let's proudly display the $49.99 copy of Rogue Ops, and bury NFL 2K5 so noone can even find it"

So does Kmart have special "clearance" areas for games randomly all over the store like Target, or is this thread essentially to identify the games that are marked wrong?

I know that at one of the K-Marts around me, they have a designated area that is right under the the PS2 games. At this same store you can sometimes find them outside of the case in a designated area or when they put it out on a table.

At another location, they have the games inside the glass case under their respective systems.

And at another one, they have it in a small glass case behind the cash register.

Today when I went to my K-Mart I find out that they also clearance out sometimes their guidebooks under their respective game consoles as well, such as Super Mario Sunshine.

they had the wave bird seperately and I think that it was marked 20 new.

Of course nobody was in electronics and when we got some food they only had two lines, long wait.

I can't believe they haven't went out of business yet

they didn't even have pc games anymore ALL gone.

They are the only store on that side of the street, lol, everyone else has moved.

The good time recently ended at my local K-mart. THey used to have a distinct clearance shelf from which I purchased about twenty items in the last several months. Then, a couple weeks ago, they put everything in the the bottom of a display counter in such a way you cannot even identify most of what is down there to ask for a price check. I suspect some employee became annoyed that people like me were buying all of HIS games and made the change to secure his stash.

Never attribute to malice where stupidity would suffice, I know but the former clearance shelf is still EMPTY but for a few PC educational titles where it was formerly fully utilized for game clearance.

Tiger Woods 2003 (GC) - $2.99
NFL Blitz 2003 (GC) - $2.99
Kobe Bryant's NBA Courtside (GC) - $4.99
Prisoner of War (XB) - $4.99

I also saw many copies of Madden 2002 (GC) for $2.99 - which beats Best Buy's $4.99 price.

My current girlfriend worked at kmart for a few summers when she was home for college and hated it too. I think anyone that works for Kmart hates it, except this crazy old guy at the Haggerty one. I asked him to turn on the blue light one day and he did, essentially because he's off his rocker.

On Sunday (Aug 8), I grabbed Robotech Battlecry ($2.99) and Dave Mirra 2 ($4.99). They were the only clearance items at the Rochester > Ridge Road store.

In Amherst, they had a few games on $9.99-$14.99 (Transworld Surf, some other crap), but the real kicker was the four (after I bought mine) copies of Perfect Dark N64 for $2.99.

Other great clearance "deals" was Primal for on clearance $29.99 and a Jampack on clearance for $5.99, and Luigi's Mansion on clearance for $19.99. Besides having no deals, it amazes me how this K-Mart stays in business. There was 1 register open in the entire store and the store was a mess.

I scooped up a couple of PS1 memory cards (Performance brand with storage case--size of a CD) for 70 cents each. I know people prefer 1st party but if you need an extra--these are cheap. Also saw $10 Ico.

Anybody who goes to Kmart . . . look for SimCity4. Its been found for $1.99 . . . I'd trade a TRU or CC game for it.

You are correct. There were 2 left, and they didn't seem too keen on me taking any more than 1. I saw it at the bottom of the case and asked about it. Guy scanned it, came up with nothing, went to mgmt, came back and handed it to me saying it was given away with a promotion and the promo was over, that they probably got extras or someone just didn't take theirs. Methinks he (or someone in mgmt) has them other 2 copies right now. I felt kinda bad going in, getting a free game, and leaving. He was even nice enough to bag it for me. :)

Just for this, regardless if they only let me have one, I now really like Kmart.

Also, there was an almost-storewide clearance sale on various items, a 50% off sale, I believe.

I don't wana scan every game, especially since there is never anybody back there to help you.


No kidding, to get my Zelda CE I had to go searching in sporting goods. The same guy was doing electronics, sporting goods, AND lawn & garden!

Yaeh, but you still got it. I would love to find a copy of that game for cheap, I'm at the end of my rope and i'll even shell out now $50.

Certain stores are closing because Home Depot bought the some of thier stores. Do a yahoo searchto find the locations. The one at Jacksonville Beach has stuff at 30-50 % off, but then again Devil May Cry was still priced at $50, so ask the pimpilly faced store lacky to price match the games you want.

I picked up Alter Echo for $2.99 tonight for PS2. My wife thought I was nuts!
Because you bought the game or went to K-mart to get it? :wink:

You people are lucky.

My k-mart marks up retail prices 150% - 500% of the original retail price at release.

I am dead serious, no lie.

They have the original Delta Force PC game at my local k-mart for $80. When it came out it retailed at $20, and it is NOT a rare game.
All the games are like that.
They don't sell much.

This is corporate stupidity at its finest.

Well it's time to bring this thread back to life, I went to my Kmart recently and they had some new stuff on clearance


Ico-PS2-9.99
Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder-PS2-9.99

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX-Xbox-4.99

Recently reduced farther Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits-PS2-down from 16.99 to 9.99.

Nothing too great but this thread should continue. I went to a few more Kmarts this time and it seems that more of them are starting to clearance out more stuff and it isn't as much YMMV this time since they mostly had the same stuff.

War of the Monsters must have went down farther since I picked it up for 16.99 awhile ago and thought that that was an awesome deal for it siince I hadn't seen it anywhere cheapre.

Earlier in the thread someone said they got Bloodrayne for 2.99. Any chance this was the PS2 version, and that there are any left? :wink:

Wow. I feel for you.

My local K-Mart isn't THAT bad, but they tend to sell games for $55. No, not just new releases... EVERY game. About a month ago (last time I went), they had Silent Hill 2 for PS2, $50. Not the Greatest Hits version either. They still had at least 7. Needless to say they don't do much business in their electronics department- there are still a few N64 games lurking around (I think they even have a single copy of Pilotwings 64, still at a grand $60).

Oh, now I'm definitely going to look for the extension cables at my local K-mart! I'm bongoaddicted and need a longer chord...
