Indiana Deals Thread

[floormat]

I just created a social group for Indiana CAG members:
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/group.php?groupid=29

I might have forgotten some of you (I listed some I knew off the top of my head), but feel free to join. :D

I was at Sears over the weekend and say 64MB memory cards on 360 for $4.97. They also had Xbox 360 Media Remote for $6.97. They had blue and pink 360 wireless controllers for $34. Great deals, but I only bought Moto GP 07 for $4.97.

Don't worry. They forgot me too.

[AfroPig]

Kendallville Walmart has a ton of clearance games, can't remember much of them but I picked up Simpsons (360) for $10 and Phoenix Wright: T&T for $15.

[The Mana Knight]

I have to pay way more attention to this thread...I remember you quite well LoganDX when I first joined CAG (I remember your signature that said Death to all hoarders due to what happened at the Circuit City sale).

Don't worry. They forgot me too.Actually, in your case, I just forgot the spelling of your username (I remembered you avatar). Sorry.

I haven't been to Kendallville in years.

I tried checking Meijer on Illinois Rd. for NiGHTs Wii, but they did not have it.

[depascal22]

Meijer's on 135 in Greenwood didn't have Nights either. I did pick up a GOW PSP for my brother. Used the $15 off coupon with no problem.

Went to Target on 135 to see if they had any clearance games. Heavenly Sword rang up at $30 instead of $15 and the rest was cleared out. They did have Viva Pinata (regular version) for $15 and Ratchet and Clank Future guides for $5. Nothing worth picking up so my wallet is happy.

[LoganDX]

yup, that was me. Damn, just when I got the tremors under control. Back to therapy...:lol:

[evilmojo12542]

anyone tried the gamestop coupon in indy yet?

[Rictor]

Any clearance deals left at the Indianapolis TRU stores? I'd hate to drive 30 miles and not find anything worth the gas money.

I am in interested in Wii, PS3, DS, PSP, GBA as those are the systems I own.

[evilmojo12542]

i live in greenwood(southside of indy) and this store does not have crap

[Rictor]

Yah, usually the Indy stores get wiped out on the first day of a clearance...too many CAGers. Sometimes you get lucky and they restock or find new stuff in the back. I've also had luck finding games people have hidden behind stuff.

[SteveMcQ]

Are most of them lurkers though? I only see a few regular Indy CAG posters.

[jp0213]

That seemed to be the case when I lived in Indy. I only seen around 3 or 4 regular posters, including myself, on the forums that were from Indy and everyplace was just wiped out. Granted, that could also be people from SD/FW doing a lot of that too.

[falcon815]

I'm not sure it's a matter of people clearing out the Greenwood TRU - its inventory just kinda sucks in the first place. The only good clearance stuff I've found there in the last year or so has been Blue Dragon and XBLA Unplugged. When I was still driving to work (read: when gas was around $2.50 a gallon), I could get out to the East Washington TRU, which was a lot more forgotten than Greenwood.

[evilmojo12542]

i will tell you that inventory in greenwood sucks in generall. the target in castelton has more games than all 3 combined down here do(135,southeaast street emerson) bestbuy same way I get more of what i want up there maybe could be they are closer to and tryign to compete with fry's but just a guess. and I am the king lurker lmao

[depascal22]

I managed to find Blue Dragon and Jeanne d'Arc at the Greenwood TRU. Castleton is a little too far since I'm never farther north than 38th St.

[aaronandjenni]

Kendallville Walmart has a ton of clearance games, can't remember much of them but I picked up Simpsons (360) for $10 and Phoenix Wright: T&T for $15.

Did you snag the last copy of simpsons on 360? Have you by any chance been there again in the last day or two? I'm just curious if it's worth the drive from fort wayne for a few clearance deals.

[slidecage]

target on maplecrest fort wayne

Ps2 games 5 bucks

NHL 2k8
El tigre
Ncaa football 2008

[arbiter]

Gamestop is still running that "final clearance" summer sale. Not much worth mentioning except:

Several $5 UMD movies at both Glenbrook & Jefferson Pointe.
There are screen protector / accessory packs for PSP Slim for $8.99. Includes the protector, a couple of UMD covers, a dust wipe keychain thing, usb cable, and a battery door that will accept the larger battery pack and has a kickstand for watching movies.

[Rictor]

Are most of them lurkers though? I only see a few regular Indy CAG posters.

Yah, lurkers. I've talked to a few at TRU and other clearances in my day as they see my printed out list from CAG and ask me what my screen name is. Usually they know me and I don't know them...as in I post enough (well, I used to post enough) that my screen name at least would ring a bell with most people, especially if they also frequent other game sites.

Yah, that one is an hour drive for me, but I will make it on the first day of a clearance drop. This late in the game, it's not worth it. I think people do hoard, just from personal experience. I have been to TRU at opening on the first day of several clearance sales and seen people fill up carts with 10 copies of the same game. Sometimes if you ask nicely, they'll give you a copy out of their cart.

[depascal22]

The cashier at the Greenwood TRU actually asked where I got the info. I let him know about this site. We shot the shit for a minute and he said there's alot of guys that walk in with lists. Looks like we'll have to get there at opening or there won't be much.

it totally depends on the cashier for me. if i feel they are for our benefit i mention cag if not i say slickdeals for fatwallet = P

[SteveMcQ]

I wonder if I've ever seen any of you guys at all. I usually don't go in with a list though. I target a specific game I want and if I don't see it, I'm out the door quick. I'll start wearing my CAG bracelet again when I'm out perusing the game aisles so you can spot me.

[depascal22]

Same here. The cashier I was talking to was just looking for cheap games though. Nice guy that plays a little bit of everything. Still has a PS2 because he can't afford the current gen hardware/games. Kind of a perfect addition to CAG if you ask me.

[AfroPig]

Did you snag the last copy of simpsons on 360? Have you by any chance been there again in the last day or two? I'm just curious if it's worth the drive from fort wayne for a few clearance deals.

No more Simpsons, good clearance items are no longer clearance and back at normal prices.

[LPS]

I'm pretty sure there are some Simpsons left, and if you have a PS3 or Wii, it's $10 for those systems as well. Practically half of the games in the shelves are marked down in clearance, not all of them are really great though.

Some I took note of today are:

Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition (360) - $45
Soul Nomad (PS2) - $15
Zack & Wiki (Wii) - $15
Odin Sphere (PS2) - $10
Timeshift (PS3) - $20 (360) $30

it may be worth a look, it's hard to remember them all.

Edit- I forgot to mention I saw a guy changing the prices on some of the clearance items, so I may go back out later to check those out. I wish I had something to take a picture of all the games so I could give a full list.


Where are these at...???

[AfroPig]

Where are these at...???

Kendallville Wal-mart.

Edit-- Well, I just got back from there, and I wouldn't waste my time with it anyone. They still had most of the games I listed, but they are no longer clearance for whatever reason. They still a bunch of clearance games, but most you can find better prices for elsewhere.

[LoganDX]

Just picked up a MGS4 80gb ps3 @ Best Buy today. They said they've been keeping them in the back. There were two left when I bought mine. Northcrest BB Fort Wayne...

[slidecage]

not a deal but to let people know

Ponderosa

4411 Coldwater Rd.
Fort Wayne, In 46825 Map
(260) 484-0012


has finally went belly up.

the auction for the place is on JULY 28 2008

sad to see this place close up, my self , my sister and 2 of our cousin and probally 100s of friends worked for this place one time or another... I still remember back in 86 our new kitten jumping out of the back window while we was waiting for my sister to get off work. We didnt know she jumped out and went back looking for her. We found her walking around the dumpster crying cause she could smell all of the meat in their

up to this year (July 2007) we went out there for everyones birthday dinners .... July 2007 was the last time we had a party out there and the last time we ate there was around april 2008... There probally was only 4 people in the entire place


You knew it was just a matter of time before they closed when they no longer offered the buffet with the dinners.. It was like 12 bucks

7 bucks for the buffett itself with little to no meat compair to Golden corral down the road. same price but with 10x the pickings ...

its going to be sad to see the place go but then again this was the last one i think in the entire state of indiana (if not the midwest)

bye Ponderosa .... thanks for all of the memories

[jp0213]

There is still at least one Ponderosa alive in kicking in Southern Indiana.

[erehwon]

That's too bad to see them go under. I think I've been to that place once or twice. I thought it was okay, just a little more than I want to spend on a meal usually.

I was also sad when Uno's closed. I only got to go there two or three times. The King Gyros on Coliseum closed a while back. I was annoyed about that since I only got to go there once.

[falcon815]

There's still a Ponderosa at Emerson and Thompson in Indianapolis, last I checked. Granted, that was when the Hollywood Video on that corner went out of business, but hey.

I think there are still a couple others floating around the Indy area, too.

For any southsiders looking for Zack and Wiki, go nuts at the Greenwood TRU - they had a stack about 10 high for $8 two nights ago, and the cashier specifically said that there were more in the back. So, ask if you can't find any. For once, they had the clearance bin reasonably organized (gasp). No RE4Wii though.

Nice to see fellow Indy CAGs active and giving out pointers.

Slightly off topic, anyone know where to get some good cannoli in Indy?

[floormat]

use to love eating at ponderosa when I was a kid. was not to bad when I grew up the main prob was that their signature wings quality keeps going down and down and down... thats the main reason I stopped eating there...

[Rictor]

There's still a Ponderosa at Emerson and Thompson in Indianapolis, last I checked.

I am fairly sure that one is still in business. Ate their a year or so ago for the nostalgia. It wasn't great...wasn't bad...

Used to go there when I was a kid as it was pretty much the only steak house in Kokomo. We'd go whenever the report cards came out because if you got on the honor roll, you got a coupon for one free kids meal at Ponderosa. My brothers and I would usually get those...so 3 free kids meals and the parents would buy steak+salad bar.

I remember I would usually get the salad bar with the coupon and load up on nachos (they had taco meat, melted cheddar, and tortilla chips) and cottage cheese. I miss the Wendy's Super Bar or whatever they called their salad bar...we ate there all the time. I'd have garlic bread, cottage cheese, and nachos.

I think what really killed Ponderosa is that we have a lot more choices of places to eat in Indiana than we used to. All these damn strip malls everywhere are full of chains. I'm not a big fan of chains myself. I prefer my mom and pop Mexican places here in Indy. Usually the bigger the dive, the better the food. I love that place on east Washington St. right past Irvington.

[SteveMcQ]

I love that place on east Washington St. right past Irvington.Is that El Sol?

[depascal22]

Isn't there a Ponderosa in Mooresville? South of the intersection of 144/42 and 67?

[falcon815]

I prefer my mom and pop Mexican places here in Indy.

Hm. My wife and I have a B1G1 coupon for Casa Miguel's in Greenwood from the entertainment.com book... we really should go check that place out.

Slightly off topic, anyone know where to get some good cannoli in Indy?

The only place in Indy I've had cannoli was at Bravo! on west 86th, and it was pretty good. Haven't had much cannoli experience in my life, though. Speaking of Bravo!, they're putting in one of those near the Greenwood mall - there's been a hiring trailer on the south side of County Line, across from the Thai place, for a few weeks now.

[depascal22]

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

[The Mana Knight]

Hmm, I didn't know that Ponderosa closed down. I only ate their once in another state.

[floormat]

nice avatar. Suikoden III was such excellant game. I appreciated it so much more after reading the manga. Definately one of the better trilogies ever.

[Captain Wrong]

Is that El Sol?

It's either El Sol if you are going West (which closed for ages, haven't been back to see if it's still as good) or La Hacienda to the East. Hacienda (or El Torcho after the building's previous tenants, the Torch Lounge) is your typical Indiana cheapo Mexican joint, not that that's a bad thing. El Sol is (or was) something special. Can't vouch for it since reopening. If it's like the little one they had open in the former Union Station, it's a shadow of what it once was.

[arbiter]

I swung past my parents this weekend. Brought back some manuals and misc crap.
If anyone is looking for these, let me know before I try to put them on gametz or ebay.

Atari Star Raiders sealed in box.
Final Fantasy III manual
Super Scope manual
TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan box
Mario Paint manual
Warcraft 1 manual
1 box Dr. Mario valentines, unopened.
SNES Mouse manual
SNES World Heroes manual
Total Annihilation Kingdoms "the Chronicles of Darien" manual.

[LoganDX]

The King Gyros on Coliseum closed a while back. I was annoyed about that since I only got to go there once.

They've changed that to a pizza buffett a block from the pizza joint I work at. I guess the building was a disaster...

[falcon815]

Greenwood TRU clearance update with the new drops: unfortunately, the only new one that's actually there is Master of Illusion (DS) for $9.98 - 20%. Still a stack of Zack and Wiki a mile high.

[SteveMcQ]

Greenwood TRU clearance update with the new drops: unfortunately, the only new one that's actually there is Master of Illusion (DS) for $9.98 - 20%. Still a stack of Zack and Wiki a mile high.Same with East Washington TRU. A bunch of Zack and Wiki along with Master of Illusion, and Elite Beat Agents. I think I picked up the last Beautiful Katamari yesterday though. They had them on the display case and not the bin.

[depascal22]

They had Beautiful Katamari at the Greenwood TRU a couple weeks ago. Looks like I'm too slow on that one.

[slidecage]

not a deal but if anyone knows anyone missing a Dog that lives around the leesburg. flaug arcola bass road area tell them to go to the pound Monday...

there was a dog walking down the middle of the road on flaugh (right next to the horse farms) pulled off and called the dog over and he jumped right into my car... No collar no tags and no chip...

took it to the pound to look for the owner,,, its a pureblood dog

(wont say what it is cause i want the real owner to claim it )


i was going to leave it but i seen too many animals hit on that road and knew they would get it sooner or later....

sad thing is i seen 3 or 4 cars just fly right pass it ,almost hitting it and just kept on going

[Heavy Hitter]

Girlfriend and I finally checked out Disc Replay. Got Motorstorm for $9.99 and Jeepers Creepers DVD for $5.99. GF got Fantavision for $4.99, Slots (PS1) $4.99 and something else. I was totally impressed with their selection, but shocked that they have no inventory system - or at least it didn't seem so. I asked for a couple of titles and the guys working there pawed through piles of carts. If they don't have some sort of inventory system, that's pretty damn dumb.

[depascal22]

VH One video on US 31 in Greenwood finally closed. I guess the crappy selection of five million sports games weren't paying the rent. That and not having any games for the 360/PS3/Wii/PSP/Wii or any movies on Blu-Ray spelled their eventual doom.

I have wondered about their inventory system, I also hate how they raised their prices earlier this summer.


Has anyone here been to The Collectors Box in Huntington? I visited it on my lunch break today and was put off buy the owners cocky attitude, and lack of knowledge on games.

[Sinnbox]

Yah, that one is an hour drive for me, but I will make it on the first day of a clearance drop. This late in the game, it's not worth it. I think people do hoard, just from personal experience.

Ya, I live in Berne so i dont make it up to TRU verry often, and when i do they are usualy out of the clearance stuff, I have heard that there is a "Rather large" guy that usualy comes in and cleans out all the clearance stuff once a week.

Someone also loves cleaning out the Decatur K-Mart I saw a stack of Blazing Angels there last tuesday and when i found out they were on clearance I went right back and they were gone, the whole stack of about 10 copies.

it was a full blooded pug.... glad it got back to its home : )

Just got a new puppyu today (thursday) We still love you coco though

[depascal22]

Anyone ever hit up the pawn shops in Greenwood or on the Southside of Indy? I've been meaning to stop by the one on US 31 and Stop 11 (or is it 13?).

[Rictor]

Is that El Sol?

Nah, I hate El Sol. It's La Hacienda. El Sol seems more like Spanish food than Mexican to me...especially with seafood on the menu. I guess it depends on what part of Mexico your in whether they specialize in seafood or not but all of Spain specializes in seafood. I can't stand Spanish food though.

No me gusta El Sol, pero me gusta La Hacienda.

[jlseal]

La Hacienda is teh awesome. I forget which fajita platter I got the last time I was there, but it had enough for 2 people and was goooood.

[falcon815]

Anyone ever hit up the pawn shops in Greenwood or on the Southside of Indy? I've been meaning to stop by the one on US 31 and Stop 11 (or is it 13?).

The CashAmerica? It's on 31 and Stop 13, across the street from TRU. It's pretty crappy, to be honest - I haven't seen anything decent there for over a year. I think most people in the area who are inclined to do so take their stuff to Disc Replay or Gamestop.

There are a couple pawnshops on the near south side that are right next to each other - both on 31 just north of National Road - but they've both fallen off the map in the past year or so too.

If you're so inclined, stop by the Flea Market on 31 and National and talk to the old gamer guy (turn left inside the front door and keep walking). His booth is pretty cool, though the problem is that he knows what he's got and (usually) knows how much it's worth. I've seen him with complete in box copies of Popful Mail (Sega CD), Secret of Mana, and "FFIII" (SNES) before, but he had 'em all at $50+.

[depascal22]

What about the swap meet on Washington St? I haven't been there for years but I'm going to stop in to see Helen. She runs the "herbal" store at the swap meet and a head shop in Mooresville.

[falcon815]

Not familiar with much of anything on Washington St, really. About all I've hit up on East Washington is TRU, and I know nothing about west Washington at all.

[depascal22]

I never bother with the TRU on E. Washington. They usually have same exact stuff that the Greenwood TRU has.

[Sinnbox]

Does anyone here frequent the Book Nook in Decatur? We are looking for more board game fans to play Settlers of Catan on saturdays at 12:30.

[arbiter]

Speaking of Books, if you're into comics, and near Ft. Wayne, check out Discount Comic Book Service. www.dcbservice.com It's in the office park just to the north east of the intersection of Washington Center Rd and Hillegas. They're in the first building on the left as you drive in from WCR.

It's a mail order house for comic books, but they have a retail store. They sell most everything at 35% off retail if you walk in, or 40% if you preorder via web. (they say put "(Local)" after your name when creating your account.)

They have a large amount of "damaged" Trade Paperbacks and Graphic Novels that normally sell for 50% off. Usually they just have a dogeared corner or a crease in the cover. Last week they were running a special for 75% off, they weren't sure how long they would run it.

I'd call and check the hours before you stop in though, I think they're only open Wed-Sat and it's weird hours like 11 to 8 or something.

[depascal22]

I might hit that up if we head to Michigan for a football game this fall.

I think I might check it out. I enjoy searching through small, out of the way places. I'd like to look through some of those Trade Paperbacks and Graphic Novels. I haven't been that into comics, but I figure that is a good way to get into them.

[arbiter]

Disc Replay has loaded up on a ton more stock. The manager says they're doing a crazy amount of business. They're hiring more staff, and are going to expand the store into the shop next door soon.

The volume of games and systems they have in stock has gone way up.

I picked up Panzer Dragoon II Zwei for Saturn there yesterday.

[Heavy Hitter]

Will they fire the rude little ass that wears the baseball cap? That would be nice.

No me gusta El Sol, pero me gusta La Hacienda.

Both times I've been in Mexico I ate kick ass seafood every day.

La Hacienda is great if you're into recycled salsa. I swear, every time it's sweeps week, one of the local news stations has a story about that place pouring old salsa back into the main batch.

(I still eat there though. LOL)

That's good to know.

[Kapwanil]

Since I'm leaving in two more days, I may as well spill all about Bloomington. There are rarely any posts about the area, and after this little retrospective it may be for good reason. ;)

Best Buy
Typical video game stock, nothing special. Above-average help, quite nice. They sometimes have clearances, although they are few and far between and rarely have gems in there. Not bad, but not worth the trip.

EBGames [College Mall]
Excellent store, overall. Fantastic manager and staff for the past three years. While their Used games waver in quality here and there, the most important aspect is that the location is where RPG fans are turning in their top titles. It tends to be more Atlus and NIS as of late, but if you're looking for something in particular they may have it eventually. I got Nocturne from them for a song well before the reprint, picked up Suikoden 2 before the PS1 clearance (once again, for nearly nothing), and they recently had a few FES, Atelier Iris (original), and other uncommons and rares in stock. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the area.

GameStop [College Mall]
Just like EBGames only far fewer rare RPGs overall. However, their Used DS section tends to house gems every now and again. PSP selection is also quite good.

Target [College Mall]
Game selection is usually a letdown, but their clearances aren't half-bad. The only problem is that the good titles will take forever to reach half-price, and are usually a few weeks behind the current trend in other stores. Don't expect titles to hit the 75% level, if ever. They usually go to Goodwill well before that.

K-Mart
Nothing on sale, nothing good on clearance, easily skippable. Just don't bother.

Sears [College Mall]
Rarely anything on clearance. If so, it's at a ridiculous price anyway. Not worth the time. Good stock overall, though, just in case you're looking for a new title that sold out everywhere else. Then again, how often does that happen?

Wal-Mart
Only been there once but wasn't impressed. Standard selection, few things on sale, nothing special.

Blockbuster Video
Never been, so not sure.

Movie Gallery
Good on rentals, poor on sales. Don't bother.


And that's it. Nice arcade in College Mall as well, although I don't know if it will last. They're all about quality upkeep and acquisitions, though, so it's quite possible that they may be the ones to take the plunge on a SF4 cab in the future, if not shell out for the next King of Fighters.

BTW, when people are talking Disc Replay, which one are we talking? I kinda lost the thread here and I know there is one on the East Side.

I'm looking to trade some games and DVDs in possibly as I don't have time to mess with eBay/Amazon/etc. and it's not all that exciting stuff but I'd like to get something. Anyone trade stuff there?

[chadthechosen]

I know of one on Washington St. and on US 31 by Walmart but those are the only two disc replays near me I know of.. yeah which one is getting a ton of business and plans on expanding?

[falcon815]

I'm guessing there's one in FW as well, considering the guys who are talking about it.

There are three in Indianapolis: 31 and Southport in the W-M complex, the one on Washington, and one in the Castleton complex facing Best Buy. The one up by Castleton has a lot of good stuff, but it's all priced accordingly (which is why they still have so much of it).

As for the guy who was asking about trading stuff there: I've traded some low-value stuff there, and I usually get about 40% of what they sell it for in store credit, (it'd be 30% less than that in cash). It's usually a bit better than Gamestop, especially on low-value stuff, but if you're near a GS that's doing the +50% through the end of this month (like the two on Emerson and Southport), it'd probably be worth it to dump higher-value games there for now.

Can you tell me more about this? Sorry, I haven't been here in a while and I can't exactly search for it. The Southside is a little drive for me, but if it's worth it, I'll make it.

Can you tell me more about this? Sorry, I haven't been here in a while and I can't exactly search for it. The Southside is a little drive for me, but if it's worth it, I'll make it.

Sure. There are six local Gamestops with a coupon flyer that includes +50% bonus on up to 5 games in a single trade-in. (The flyer also includes a one-time use 10% off a new game, and +$30 on a traded-in system, excluding the obvious GC/GBA). These six stores are:

The two on Emerson and Southport (NE and SE corners).
The two on west 86th (within a couple blocks of each other - by Wal-Mart, and in College Park with Panera and Trader Joe's).
The two on east 82nd (one in Castleton Square Mall, one further west on 82nd).

Just go in to any one of those six stores and ask for a copy of their coupon flyer. Like I said, it's good through the end of the month.

Speaking of Books, if you're into comics, and near Ft. Wayne, check out Discount Comic Book Service. www.dcbservice.com It's in the office park just to the north east of the intersection of Washington Center Rd and Hillegas. They're in the first building on the left as you drive in from WCR.

It's a mail order house for comic books, but they have a retail store. They sell most everything at 35% off retail if you walk in, or 40% if you preorder via web. (they say put "(Local)" after your name when creating your account.)

They have a large amount of "damaged" Trade Paperbacks and Graphic Novels that normally sell for 50% off. Usually they just have a dogeared corner or a crease in the cover. Last week they were running a special for 75% off, they weren't sure how long they would run it.

I'd call and check the hours before you stop in though, I think they're only open Wed-Sat and it's weird hours like 11 to 8 or something.
Thanks for telling me about this place. I went today and picked up several from that damaged section.

I picked up:
Crisis on Infinite Earths
The Road to Civil War
Black Panther: Civil War
New Avengers: Civil War
Star Wars 30th Anniversery Collection 6 and 11
Star Wars Dark Empire 1
Star Wars Dark Forces Jedi Knight

I think I did pretty well. I'm just going to have to keep checking back to see what they get. I want to complete the Dark Empire set since I've been wanting to read that for a long time.

[arbiter]

BTW, when people are talking Disc Replay, which one are we talking? I kinda lost the thread here and I know there is one on the East Side.

I was talking about the one in Ft. Wayne, but they're a chain so they should have similar trade values...though management may vary.

The one in Ft. Wayne is just off Coldwater north of the intersection of Coldwater and Coliseum. (big intersection in front of Glenbrook Square Mall)
They are in the strip mall near Shoe carnival, located on the end, right between Quizno's and Clothing Mentor & Plato's closet. (which is a good place to ditch your lady friends while you shop)

Southside Indy people - do not bother with the 'Greenwood' CC if you're looking for FE: Radiant Dawn. I don't think they even had any to begin with.

For that matter, they disassembled the clearance bin and just threw everything in it onto the shelf without organizing it. The DS section is a complete disaster area, not organized by title or price... some $40 games are unprotected and some $15 games locked away. It's a mess and a half. Clearance games ARE mixed in on the shelf, but I didn't have the patience to look for FFXII:RW or anything else with the shelves as jammed as they were.

Clearance games ARE mixed in on the shelf, but I didn't have the patience to look for FFXII:RW or anything else with the shelves as jammed as they were.

I was there yesterday and the clearance games were in a bin at the front of the store in front of the service desk. I saw Bleach Wii, one of the Super Mario GBA games, Tony Hawk for PS3, and that's about it for the current drops. Tons of stuff from previous drops, such as crappy Wii games (move tie-ins, Nights) and crappy PS3 games.

You are right that there was no Fire Emblem though. Strangely, I didn't see Destroy All Humans either, which you would think they'd have a stack of. There were several copies of Destroy All Humans and one or two copies of Dragon Quest Monsters at the Castleton CC on Thursday. I got the last Fire Emblem and probably only because it was shelved in the wrong section.

[Rictor]

I'd call and check the hours before you stop in though, I think they're only open Wed-Sat and it's weird hours like 11 to 8 or something.

11-8 is actually fairly standard comic store hours across the country. That's the hours for all the comic shop in Indy, I believe, except the downtown store which is open earlier and closes earlier. It's because comics are a low profit or no profit business, so they can only afford to staff the store 9 hours a day. They pick that time period because the two big rushes for the day are lunch hour and after work (5 pm - 8 pm). There would be a morning before work rush if more stores could afford to staff a morning shift.

[Rictor]

La Hacienda is teh awesome. I forget which fajita platter I got the last time I was there, but it had enough for 2 people and was goooood.

If you want to try a little of everything, get El Combo and split it with another person. Get get like 5 pounds of food.

Burrito, taco, enchilada, chille relleno, tostada, beans, rice, and I think some more stuff. It's like $10 or $11. You can find coupons for this place in those coupon packs everyone gets in the mail in Indy and throws away. Also, those free coupon books that you can pick up in restaurants and businesses around town in the same places they rack the free newspapers.

That's cool that they are expanding, they grew fast, probably due to the fact that they are cheaper then McVans and give better trade credit. I'm not sure how they determine TIV's and Price, they were dirt cheap the first 6 months, but now they are doing the McVan %10 more than ebay price scheme. They had a stack of about 10 copies of FFVII marked $70 apiece last time i was in there they were like $20 when they opened.

The Disc Replay manager says the prices come down from the corporate office in Indianpolis. He says sometimes they're too high, and sometimes too low. He also says sometimes the games list doesn't get updated for weeks, and sometimes they'll push 2 changes in a week. I'd guess whomever does the pricing at the main office probably surfs eBay and Google Shopping to find prices.

eBay for sure - I saw one of them checking finished auctions for a game a friend of mine traded in. Also, last year, they had a sealed copy of PS1 Valkyrie Profile at the one on 31 in the Wal-Mart complex, priced right at $200 (pretty much the going eBay rate at the time). I think they may have just eBayed the sucker in the end.

They also have some kind of reference book printed out for how much to give on certain older cartridge titles. There was a header with some game collectors' website given on it, but it's been so long that I can't remember what it was.

--

As for the Gamestop on south East street, yeah, that one's usually decent. I like the employees there, Emily in particular - she's knowledgable and not the usual Gamestop brand of pushy. I don't get to that one much anymore, though, since I'm not driving to work now. The closest ones to me are the one in the mall, and the one across the street; of those two, the one across the street in the 1/2 Price Books complex is infinitely more organized and well-staffed.

Man, I've had poor luck in Indy for years. One day I discovered a possible reason when I noticed I was standing in line at Meijers behind the guy who runs Video Game Xchange (used to be one on the South Side, still is on the West Side.) He had just about cleared the shelves of anything worth getting. Sure enough, next time I was in his store, there were all those games, with a nice little mark up.

Nowadays, I'll check Target clearance, if I'm there. Other than that, it's just not worth my time and driving all over town (I'm on the Northeast side) to maybe find one game I'm halfway interested in. YMMV.

I think that 90% of them may come from the main office, but I know for sure that once i was in there and I saw a game and i mentioned to my friend that it was cheap. the guy overheard me then looked on ebay and changed the price.

*awooga* *awooga* Heavily YMMV deal strikes southside Indianapolis.

For any southsiders looking for FFTA2, head to Target on Sumner. Multiple copies await at $27.98. No more stores on the southside have it clearanced yet, as far as I can tell. This Target also has Ninja Gaiden DS, Zelda PH, Pokemon D/P all 30% off. Also, tons of points cards. I took 6 and there are still at least 15 left.

For any southsiders looking for Madden '08 on PS2, 47 copies await at Smith Valley and 135 Target. :roll:

I am on the west side of Indy and I work in Noblesville, so I tend to shop everything from Avon and Plainfield all the way north to Castleton, Carmel and Fishers. It's one of the few perks of having a long commute.

I only make rare trips to Greenwood these days. I use to live on the east side and work in Greenwood and Castleton. When you have a car with good gas mileage and you're used to driving 100 miles a day, driving 20-30 minutes to Greenwood from the west side is no big deal.

He's not the only dealer in Indy. There are plenty of flea market video game dealers and Ebay resellers as well. Also, Brian's Rare Games from northern Indiana drives down to Indy when there are good clearances. I remember him wiping out a few Game Crazies back when we still had Game Crazies and they had awesome clearances. I miss the Game Crazy and TRU on 38th Street. I could always get their before anyone else since it was only a 10 minute drive for me...I'd just pop in right as they opened the door and grab whatever I wanted...never missed out on any of the clearance deals back then.

Yeah, I picked up some points cards and PQ2 for PSP. Vaguely hoping Bioshock makes it to 75 - that'd be cool.

I just wonder why that store in particular ended up with all those clearance games. They don't even have the case space for all those copies to begin with - their DS shelves are half the size of Emerson/Southport and Smith Valley/135.

The US31 Target is all out of Kane and Lynch (360) and Zelda PH (I really wanted the latter, too). They only reached 30% clearance. Damn. Any of the southside stores have any more of the Zelda's in stock? I'd really love one.

BTW falco, that same store only has the one copy of Bioshock at $19.98 as does the Castleton Target. Don't think they're gonna make the 75% level. The US31 store in particular seems to clear out at the next round from past experience.

[falcon815]

Good Lord, they're out of Zelda already? They had at least 7 copies on Monday.

Smith Valley and 135 had nothing but Madden 08 on PS2 this Monday - they didn't have a single DS clearance game. Emerson and Southport, it's possible... I'll check there tonight, my wife and I are heading there anyway.

Might have to stop and get that Bioshock tonight too, I guess. Then again, they only had two copies on Monday, so one left by now is pretty good... I might wait 'til Monday.

When you say point cards at Target, are you talking about Wii Point cards or Xbox 360? I didn't see these mentioned in the Target clearance thread but have only read a few pages back. How much are they?

After Christmas I remember several of us getting Wii Point cards for $6-7 a pop at the Wal-Mart in Noblesville. Sadly, I have almost used up all those points thanks to pricey WiiWare games ($10 for Dr. Mario?).

I really wish I'd been driving to work at that point - I could have zipped up there and gotten in on that. Those points card bundles were STILL on an endcap at the Southport Wal-Mart as of a couple months ago... at full price.

But at Target, what I was referring to was the sale on 1600 MS point cards last week - they were $15. Good enough for me, considering how rarely one can find MS points at a discount.

Speaking of Target, Steve was right; Bioshock was gone at 31 and National on Monday. Oh well. So was any trace of FFTA2, for anyone who cares. All that's left on the DS side is a stack of Pokemon D/P a mile high... like the 66 copies of PS2 Madden '08 that Smith Valley and 135 had last Friday. (I don't know where they found MORE.)

Indy/Fishers/Zionsville CAGs. The Best Buy on N.

They're not top of the line titles, but there's a few decent games to find on the end caps. They also had a couple copies of Odama (GCN) with the mic available yesterday, which I found surprising.

I remember visiting one that wasn't too far. I think it was called Blue Spring Caverns, somewhere around Bedford. I think one year we also drove down to that really big cave cave system in Kentucky from there. We also drove to Fort Knox while we were down in French Lick one year.

Also, there is a nice miniature golf course in Elletsville, good for an evening excursion from Bloomington. Plus any of the lakes in the area are good.

[depascal22]

Wee actually live in Greenwood so there's a couple places around here to play mini golf. I'd like to hit up that Go-Kart track on US 31 in Whiteland one of these days.

[falcon815]

The one up by Angola... is that Pokagon? My grandparents took me to Pokagon when I was a kid, but I had to go to the DNR's website just to remember the name, so it's safe to say I don't remember anything about it.

If you ever go to that minigolf/go-kart complex in Whiteland, depascal, let me know. My wife and I have been curious about their minigolf setup for a while, but we just keep going to Otte since it's right up the road from our house.

We just got some of the coupons in the Valpak so we'll be heading out soon. I haven't been karting or mini golfing in years.

[SteveMcQ]

What's so special about that karting place? Is it an actual track layout (kind of like the track they had at Great Times) or is it just an oval?

[floormat]

I only went to one state park in NE Indiana. I can pronounce the name, but can't spell it at all. :-P It's near Angola I believe (not talking about Fun Spot Park lol).


Pokagon?

That's good, cause Anderson is a bit of drive from French Lick. Mounds State Park is pretty cool though. Nashville and the Brown County State Forest is beautiful too.

[Heavy Hitter]

Has anyone hit the go-karts by the Putt-Putt in Fort Wayne?

[arbiter]

Pokagon is a nice park, go after Thanksgiving when the toboggan run is open. (It's refrigerated so you can ride the sleds even if there is no snow on the ground)


On another note, Southgate Big Lots had PSP cases for $2 last week. I bought one. Holds the PSP in a holster style thing on one side with magnetic buttons to close it. The other side is zip up storage for a spare battery and UMD's.

[facemeat]

Also, just wondering if the two guys I ran into in Goshen at the Salvation Army shop were CAGs. They looked like CAGs, sounded like CAGs, so I thought that I'd ask.
Haha, small world, that was me and my brother. I almost asked you if you'd ever heard of CAG, because you seemed like the type. 8-)

[depascal22]

I'll let you know in a couple days. It looks like it's a figure 8 when I drive by but my memory is fuzzy since I don't drive down to Whiteland or Franklin unless I need to go to the court house.

[Heavy Hitter]

Really off topic, but if there are any LOTR fans in the Fort Wayne area, or if you know someone, my GF is having a rummage sale this weekend. She has a framed LOTR movie poster (original movie theater poster) in a huge frame (that was framed by Hobby Lobby). Originally around $250 total, for sale for much less. If anyone is interested, PM me.

[foltzie]

Fast Times karting on the North Side of Indy is a blast, but it is not kid friendly and you have to be 18* in order to drive. They use karts that will go 40 mph on a straight, but of course the course is curved enough to slow speed considerably. However, it is serious karting and you are required to wear a jumpsuit, hans device, and helmet.

*You can drive if you are 16, but they make it so complicated that only people associated with racing teams actually jump through the hoops.

[arbiter]

If anyone still wants a PSP extended battery pack (the phat pack) the Southtown WalMart still has them. Retailers are pulling these or selling out of them as Sony appears to be switching to only the slim pack going forward. Rumor has it that the PSP-3000 and the new PSP Slim batteries that are available now are probably going to be incompatible with the current battery hack-related methods of enabling homebrew.

[depascal22]

Thanks arbiter. Do you know how much they're charging for the Stamina Battery?

And is that the Wal-Mart that's on US 31 next to Hooters?

[erehwon]

I picked one of two they had at Sears a couple weeks ago. It was full price, though. Now I just need to save up some money so I can get a slim psp before the new model comes out. I want to have psp that can be modded.

[arbiter]

I think they're like $30 or $35. This is the one near 27 as you leave town to the south. (Across from K-Mart)
I'm sure other places have them...but when they're gone, they're gone.

I recently got the custom firmware on my Slim and it's great. There are a couple of cool homebrew apps, but I'm finding that battery life is longer when running the games you own on UMD from the MS instead. Plus I can carry pretty much all my puzzle games on one Memory Stick instead of dragging a half dozen UMD's with me.

[The Mana Knight]

Pokagon?That was it.

It's been a while since I posted in this thread. On October 10th, there's a Bulls vs. Pacers Exhibition game at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne. Since I'm a hardcore Bulls fan (yes I hate the Pacers, always have. :-P ), I will be there cheering the Bulls.

Southsiders looking for Lost Odyssey: there was still one for $15 at the Smith Valley / 135 Target last night after I picked mine up. No more Scene It! there.

Might want to check 31 and National too, they had a bazillion LOs at $30 a couple weeks back.

[arbiter]

Meijer has all flash memory 20% off this week.
I picked up their store brand 2GB MicroSD card with SD adapter for $8.50.
They also have a kit in the clearance in the corner that is a set of adapters that includes:
PCMCIA to Compact Flash
Compact Flash to SD
SD to MicroSD
They are $6 on clearance. I'm using the SD to CF adapter in my camera and it works great.

[Saurus]

Fishers Target had 3 GTA4 Special Editions @ $22 as of noon today...

[arbiter]

Target on Coldwater has digital picture frames on clearance. They're NPower series and feature Nickelodeon character inserts and animations, but the secret is, they come with a plain silver frame insert and you can turn the animation off, thus rendering them a slightly cheap normal frame.

I got one for $18, not bat for a 7" TFT frame. Looks pretty good...has a stuck pixel that you can only see on a black background.

There was one left yesterday on the electronics endcap.

[Full Recovery]

Does anyone know of any mom and pop shops in the T.H./Indy area that breaks street dates? Looking to get a few games early this season

Target 135/Smith Valley has the GTA Special Editions at $44 still.The Target up on 116th St had them marked down to $22 last week for those interested. I left two more copies, so I don't know if they've since been picked up though.

[falcon815]

Target 135/Smith Valley has the GTA Special Editions at $44 still.

Yeah, and all the fun stuff from the last two weeks is gone. I had the day off yesterday (hooray, Columbus Day being a work holiday) and checked it out... was kinda hoping GTA4 would drop, but alas, it's in a holding pattern, like those 2 GB Zen Stones that are *still* $27.98.

[falcon815]

Probably the 360 version. On the south side, the 360 version is on clearance and the PS3 version is still full retail; I've never seen Targets vary too much in what's on clearance and what's not, so I'd be willing to bet that the PS3 one isn't on clearance yet.

[GutshotGary]

[myboyblue22]

incase anyone in fort wayne or surrounding area wants LBP this week i just bought a copy of the recalled version at meijer on lima road it is 4 A.M. so better hurry to beat others there were about 9 copies when i was there.

[myboyblue22]

if u want to add me my psn is jediknight1984

[floormat]

i have read some people have beaten LBP in as little as 6 hours. The game looks fabulous but if its only 6 hours and then you have to try hit and miss on user made levels. (at least till they set up some sort of system to filter out the junk levels.) that would just be quite frustrating.... Would prob be a great pick up around christmas when there is a nice set of user levels and maybe even some downloadable content by then. I even have unedited copies I can pick up today. I just can't bite for 6 hours of story though....

They said the official theme is Romero-style slow shambling zombies. :)
I know the guy organizing it. He says it should be fun. They're hoping to have more than 100 zombies turn out. If you show up at 3:30 they have an art team who will try to make you up, but it's first come first served. He's supposedly going to be sporting a nasty neck wound in his costume, and says Stoner's has the best fake blood sold by the bottle. :)

I'm debating whether to just show up and take pics or to go in costume and join the horde.

If you do decide to drive over from purdue they're doing stuff all night, check the frightnight website for the schedule, but I know there are some free movies, Nosferatu being one of them.

By the way, what auction did you go to slidecage? I've been tempted to try going to some of them. I think there are a few auction places around here, but I've never really went to them.

I noticed that Neo Geo Pocket last time I was at Disk Replay. I don't remember the price though. I noticed that it looks like they are expanding that store. I'm also glad the Fort Wayne CC isn't closing. Granted, it's not the best one, but I'd rather have one.

it was the one out on high view around the goshen road truck stop... did not miss much as it was very bad... Auctioner people had to buy alot of the stuff for buck cause noone was buying the stuff..

funny thing is they had like 5 boxes of dishes and cups and could not get a buck. Auction i went to a month ago 1 box of this stuff got 4 or 5 bucks.

there was a MAJOR auction last saturday out by the old haunted castle.. thing started like 9am and went to 4pm. and that was with 3 people runnin the auction.

they got an upcoming one up by northcrest next tueday the 18th at 4pm and little shocking they got one out in glenwood park Dec 4 (a thursday) at 9am

little shocking its at 9am on a weds)

they got a few other ones on saturdays but with all of the craft shows i ususally have to run my cousins to them on saturdays in nov .... Bishop Dw. has theirs tomorrow along with holy cross and northside....

better craft show next week as Northrup has theirs

is it just me or is Target dragging their feet this year dropping the halloween items..

ususally 3 every days for a price drop this year it took 5 days to drop to 75% and they said they have no clue when or if it will fall to 90%

BTW, if anyone is within driving distance of Muncie, the Ball State auctions are pretty good. Last time I checked they were doing 3 a year. They sell all the old fixtures and furniture from any renovations. I've seen them sell large tv's and dorm beds, dressers, couches cheap. They also move old computers there.

I once picked up 10 broken computers for $15. I think I got 3 or 4 working again.

they had cheap stuff at the the highview auction noone would even touch... Kitchen table with 4 chairs couldnt even fetch a buck.... 2 nice bedroom dressers (one with large mirror) could not even get a buck.. i think cause noone had anyway to get them home

they even had a outdoor wooden swing that they could not sell for a buck ( one of these big swings that can hold 3 or 4 grown up people) ---- looked sort of rotten though

I was doing some running around by the mall today and found a flea market. It is on 217 Marciel Dr., which is off of Speedway Dr. I didn't see that much interesting stuff, but I thought I'd let you guys know. It's open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

There was only one table with games and they were more than I wanted to pay. There were some Odyssey 2 games I was thinking about. When asked about them, he mentioned they were $6 a piece, but If I wanted them all, he'd give me a deal. I was more thinking $6 for all the odyssey games, and that is being generous.

If any of you guys are interested in books, there is a bargain book store over on Lima and Dupont. It is in the big shopping center opposite of the new Walmart.

I went there around 3 weeks ago when they first opened ITs the old SPEEDWAY FLEA MARKET

i was thinking about buying a booth and trying to dump off my games there (got like 100 ps2 games and 30 to 60 DS/ PSP games

until i saw the prices

150 per month for a spot rental...... There is no way in hell any of these people are making 150 per month (unless alot better stuff moved in)

when i went there we were the only people walking about (place was totally dead) and it had a mold smell to it

did find a lot of 99 Cent vhs tapes for my grandfather.

if there was a chance it would turn back into the the OLD SPeedway market then i might try it , but as it stands right now, i be very shocked if this place is still open next summer
