Indiana Deals Thread

[depascal22]

I haven't checked the Half-Price books on US 31 lately but they never have anything of note. Or it could just be that everyone snatches up the good stuff quickly.

[evilmojo12542]

greenwood was a mad house tonight at about 5pm loads and loads of people nothin all that great a price though. did have the xboxlive 12month at 30% off and ms points as well(was about out of them)

[aaronandjenni]

Has anyone checked out the Fort Wayne Circuit City yet? I didn't know if the discounts were universal nationwide or not. It seems like they are varying between locations according to reports on the main deals forum. Any info would be cool.

[depascal22]

Greenwood discounts:

Everything is at least 10% off.
CD/DVD/Blu-Rays/Games 20% off
Game accessories (includes points cards and XBL) 30% off

As of last night, there were no more 360 controllers, 12 month XBL or any Wii accessories except for a couple Wii Sensor bars and Wii-mote gloves.

[bantheradio]

Fort Wayne discounts:

CD/DVD/Blu-Rays 20% off
Video Games 10% off
Game accessories 10%
Most other things are only 10% off except all cables are 30% off

yeah thats not too great. Was it still a madhouse though? Too bad the game accessories weren't 30% off like most of the other locations, I was hoping for some cheap point cards.

[erehwon]

I was at the Fort Wayne CC yesterday. It was very busy. I dropped by since I went to check on the clearance stuff at Sears. I wonder how often they are going to up the percentages?

[foltzie]

The Wal-Mart on Washington St in Indianapolis has Rock Band 2 for the 360 and PS3 marked down to $100 (complete with Was $189 sign). Picked up a copy for the 360 and it rang up correctly.

They had two copies of the 360 version and one on the flat skid in the aisle and possible more on the 12 foot run in electronics proper.

[bantheradio]

Did you find anything worth while at Sears, Erehwon? ;)

[The Mana Knight]

I haven't found anything great on clearance at the Sears in the Glenbook Mall for a while. Almost every time I look at games, I get bugged by a salesman that (usually that fat guy with thick glasses). He's been there forever at Sears (most probably know who I'm talking about. I believe he has a little dark gray hair, but somewhat bald).

[erehwon]

Did you find anything worth while at Sears, Erehwon? ;)

I picked up 2 copies of singstar for the ps3 and 1 copy of DDR Universe 2 for the 360. I'm selling one of the copies of singstar to someone on the board. I'm thinking of using the other as a present. I don't usually find much though.

I can't wait for that Half Price books to open up. It'll be nice to have another used book store.

[bantheradio]

I just got hired at the Half Price Books that is opening up on Coliseum. If all goes as planned, it should be open by the first week of March. In the event that I don't get fired during my twelve week training program, I will definitely post some of the deals that I find within our store.

This is why I don't bother with going out of business sales anymore. People jump on the stuff way to early. You gotta wait until stuff hits at least 50% off! :P

Do you know if they are still hiring? I could use some extra income so I can buy more games and electronics I don't really need. :)

[The Mana Knight]

Do you know if they are still hiring? I could use some extra income so I can buy more games and electronics I don't really need. :)I still need a job in general. I've tried applying to 30+ places ever since I finished college in May 2008, and still no luck. :-( I've even tried applying outside Fort Wayne, IN into other cities across the U.S., and still no luck.

I've seen SingStar on PS3 at Sears for a while, but never knew it was on clearance at ours. I already got mine long ago.

[donaldtrunk]

I'm getting ready to finish at IPFW, and that news really sucks to hear. I don't plan on staying in FW anyway, but I'm sure the job market is terrible almost anywhere right now. What's your degree in - what type of work do you hope to get?

[depascal22]

I went back to work at Circuit City and the games were back to 10% off. They had been 20% Saturday and Sunday but the liquidators put the kibosh on that.

Still plenty of 360s and PS3s there at 10% off.

I heard a rumor that most of the inventory might get shipped to Castleton and the Greenwood store closed earlier than the others.

I was right there with you. I graduated from Tri-State University (now Trine) in Dec 2007 and was unemployed for six months. After searching for a degree in my field (psychology) and discovering the limited (read: grueling) jobs available, I finally got a job at Wal-Mart as a dairy stocker. By sheer coincidence, I stumbled on the Half Price Books ad in the classifieds and decided I was ready for a change.

At the moment, I am not sure if HPB will be hiring any more people. They did a series of interviews over the course of a weekend and, apparently, made their decisions a few days afterwards. My first day is the 26th and I should have a better idea of their staffing plans by the end of the week. If all else fails, I would suggest putting in an application at the Wal-Mart off of 37. There are a few openings (two for third shift dairy that I know of). In addition to this, they will be hiring an entire crew for a remodel that is planned for March. Hope that helps.

Anyone happen to get an extra ps3 lego batman from the meijer $14.99 deal? I would really like one.Would pay cost plus paypal fees plus some $$ for your time.PM me if you wanna work out a deal

tooo bad that isnt the walmart on coldwater.. need a 2nd job.

[arbiter]

I graduated college in the summer of 2001, took a month to find a job just to pay bills while looking for a real job I wanted. It was in mortgages and that fell apart right after 9/11. Took me 4 months to find another job. (but I still have that one)

[arbiter]

Anyone have a soundcard they wanna sell? My mobo RealTek Audio doesn't like my surround headset. I'm looking for an X-fi, Later model Audigy, or Asus Xonar if someone wants to sell one, PM me.

[aaronandjenni]

Has anyone been to the fort wayne circuit city this weekend? Any new price drops past the initial 10% off? I'll probably be stopping there tomorrow if I can and give an update here if no one beats me to it.

[bantheradio]

I was considering heading over to CC when they open at 11. However, I'd much rather stay in today and just go in tomorrow. If you go, could you let me know if MS LIVE points have more than a 10% discount?

[icpmattj]

Two things

1: I saw a CC ad on tv today stating 30% off everything.No CC is close to me so i cant verify it.


2: Not like anyone PMed me but i don't need lego batman anymore.My store finally got a copy in after being out for close to 3 weeks and i got it last night with the buy 2 get 1 deal :)

[aaronandjenni]

Discounts in Fort Wayne Circuit City haven't changed yet.

"CD/DVD/Blu-Rays 20% off
Video Games 10% off
Game accessories 10%
Most other things are only 10% off except all cables are 30% off"

I didn't see any point cards in the xbox aisle. So maybe they already got picked up at 10% off. I didn't think to check on wii points or psn cards. However they still had plenty of good games left. So hopefully those will last until a better drop.

[SteveMcQ]

Not a deal, but just thought I'd share: Southport Meijer, I watched as a Chinese guy went away with no less than 12 games from the B2G1F deal. Looks like he grabbed multiple copies of games as well. The lady helping him out already had stacks in her arm as he continued pointing at games, but I nearly slapped my head when he pointed at Too Human and asked for a copy. I can't imagine he bought all those games (or the majority of them) to flip on eBay.

[arbiter]

Best Buy has Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Edition (Fatal!ty version) for $99 this week, that's $50 off, or the same price as the Gamer Xtreme version.

[Tallboy2005]

I heard a rumor that most of the inventory might get shipped to Castleton and the Greenwood store closed earlier than the others.

The Greenwood store is still kicking but when it comes to video games there's, not a lot there. I look pretty much for 360 games and they have a few cheapies left but majority of there games are around the $50-$60 range, and still 10% off as of Saturday the 24th.

[Tallboy2005]

Has anyone had any luck with the Radio Shack Clearance?
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188256
I've been looking at the forum lately and even though I live in Indy, I don't think anyone has reported any luck at any store across the state.

[falcon815]

So, uh... anyone been to the Target on 31 and National recently? 'cause the big sign's down. I knew it was closing "some time in '09", but I never saw anything on the Indy Star or anywhere else after that story... didn't think it'd be gone already.

Maybe they just moved the inventory to other stores and never did a final clearance? Or maybe it just got lost in the furor over Circuit City and Macy's? I'll have to drive back by there and check out the signage.

is that the old beat up store on east street? trying to picture where national is anyways did not know was one closing

[SteveMcQ]

is that the old beat up store on east street? trying to picture where national is anyways did not know was one closingYup, that one across from Mike's and next to the strip mall with the GameStop. Haven't gone there in about a month, but I remember the closing signs stated January 17th as the last day. That was a great place for me to pick up clearance games, so kind of sad to see it go, plus it was the closest Target downtown.

It is a pretty rundown looking area though. The parking lots were always a mess. They had this pothole that was the size of a kiddie swimming pool they never fixed.

[depascal22]

It's not too far from U of Indy.

And Steve McQ is right about that pothole. I stopped going there because the place is more ghetto than Tijuana.

[slidecage]

not really deals but

FOrt wayne
George town buck movie placed closed down Thursday was the final night it was opened

im shocked they closed it down, i wonder if the 100,000 + remodel had anything to do with it (when they took 2 screens to 3) There probally was around 10 to 30 people everytime i went in there during the weekend but only 1 to 8 during the week.


sucks now that your forced to pay 8 bucks to seee a movie

They were cleared out of the Greenwood store when they dropped to $24 in december.

[arbiter]

The Coventry dollar movie is still open I think.

[The Mana Knight]

The Coventry dollar movie is still open I think.I think they raised the price, according to my friend. I never went there, but use to go there a lot back when it was the largest theater in town. I live VERY close from there. I still remember when it opened.

[bantheradio]

I was at the Meijer on Lima last night and it appears as though they have marked down nearly all of their video games. I was only in the market for a 360 games but I did happen to take a look at the PS3 titles. These are the prices/games I remember:

360:
Dead Space - $35
Fallout 3: Collector's Edition - $40 (Regular edition was $60)
GTAIV: Collector's Edition - $40
Rock Revolution - $20
Lost Odyssey - $25
Halo 3 - $40
Simpson's Game - $9.90
Meet the Robinsons - $9.90

PS3:
Metal Gear Solid 4 - Somewhere between $30-35
NHL2k9 - $15

My little brother seems to remember Dead Space being the same price for the 360. I ended up getting Dead Space and am considering going back to pick up Lost Odyssey and Fallout 3: CE (even though I own the regular edition).

Anyone know how much Gamestop offers for the regular edition of Fallout 3?

[slidecage]

wonder if any DS/PSP games were marked down.. maybe monday i iwll check

[The Mana Knight]

I barely looked at the handheld games. I saw many more PS3 games marked down at the Meijer on Illinois Rd., but I'm not telling which since I hope to grab them up. :-P The Fallout 3 Collectors set still says $80 on 360 though.

[erehwon]

I might try the Meijer on Maysville Road and see what they have. The Fallout 3 CE sounds nice, but I wonder if they have the PC version marked down too? I was actually up by the Lima Meijer last night, but didn't stop since they don't usually have that good of deals.

[erehwon]

I tried the Meijer on Maysvill Rd and it only had a couple of markdowns. The only things I saw were a couple of ps3 sports games and a GTA4: CE for the 360. I'll be going to BB on Monday for some penny guides, so I might also drop by the Meijr on Lima. I'm hoping the Fallout 3 LE for pc also went down.

[falcon815]

Meijer at Southport - all PS3:

Fallout 3 CE: $40
Disgaea 3: $30
GTA4 SE: $40
SingStar 2 disc only: $25
Dead Space: $35

Also, the PC version of Fallout 3 CE was marked $70.

Falcon, I know you said all PS3, but did you happen to see Dead Space on the 360 for sale? I didn't know if the "all PS3" was because you didn't look at 360 (in which case I'll drive over and look) or because you did and the 360 stuff wasn't for sale (in which case the drive would be a waste). 360 Dead Space for $35 locally is something I'd be interested in.

Also, if you're from around that neighborhood, do you have any idea if the Southport Target has a clearance section again yet? The Greenwood Target clearance section was disappeared about a week after Christmas and hasn't yet reappeared. (clerk told me the stuff was all sold)

Haha I always call that place Ghetto Target, lmao. It always had some good deals. Anyways, I've seen a few things 360 wise on other threads. I'm going to hit up CC, BB, Target and possibily GS depending on if I have any money left and then be at a superbowl party. So I'll let you guys know what I find later tonight around the Greenwood area.

It was all PS3 because I didn't check the 360 stuff. Part of it's because mine is RROD'd at the moment, and part of it was me wanting to see what was up on PS3 sales since TMK wasn't forthcoming. So, no, I don't know if Dead Space 360 was on sale. I'm not sure if it was even there. Sorry.

Southport Target had a VG clearance section a couple weeks ago, but nothing caught my eye (I'm mostly recalling PC stuff that I didn't care about). I haven't been there since the last set of price drops, though. Haven't been to the Greenwood Target in ages, not since I was watching the $90 120 GB 360 hard drive that hung around for a while.

[Edit 5:00 - Hope you didn't make the drive. I went back to get a Fallout 3 CE and checked 360 stuff - they didn't even have Dead Space.]

[SteveMcQ]

Southport Target doesn't have a video game clearance rack as of Friday afternoon. I went there to stock up on M&Ms and roamed the electronics aisles a bit.

[Tallboy2005]

Haven't been to the Greenwood Target in ages,

I went to the Greenwood Target Monday and today and they haven't had a clearance section either all week.

[Tallboy2005]

I'm going to hit up CC, BB, Target and possibily GS depending on if I have any money left and then be at a superbowl party. So I'll let you guys know what I find later tonight around the Greenwood area.

Heres what I picked up and noticed today. The Circuit City in Greenwood was pretty much a waste of time. They had pretty much $50 and $60 360 and ps3 games, from what I could tell, they didn't have any ds, psp, or wii games. They also had misc comp games, a fairly decent selection still of those. That was pretty much it gaming wise. I seen a thread on cag saying they seen Culdcept Saga for 360 for $20, so I went to the Best Buy in Greenwood and no luck finding that. I did pick up the last copy of Sumer Athletics mainly because I haven't seen it at any rental place around here so I figured that would possibily be the last chance to ever get points for that game. I then headed to Target. They have You're In The Movies this week for $30. I seen that the camera alone sells for $40 and this comes only with the game and cam so I bit on that and picked it up. They had 2 more there for anyone else interested. They didn't have a clearance section at all so there wasn't really anything else there. I didn't make it to Game Stop. Not many deals going around this week it seems, but I am curious to see if Target has any good markdowns tommorow. Anyways I hope I have saved some time for those of you that shop around Greenwood.

[Jasonofindy]

Thanks for the Southside updates guys. Very much appreciated and better than loading up the toddlers for a drive in this weather.

went to the target and cc in caslleton yesterday and nothing. games at cc way overpriced even after discount and target had a few but not worth anything.

[karubah]

I went to the same CC on Saturday. I got the same sentiment from a lot of people who were trying to find a deal, but I think seeing the lack of deals and clearly overpriced items reminded people why they did not shop at CC more often.

They do still have some nice 46-50 inch HD TVs, but they were about $400-600 away from being a deal. If CC increases the discount on them to 40% or more, then they would be a steal.

I've never really gotten anything good at the gamestops in town. I need to dumpster dive my nearest GS to see if they still destroy the guides. DD'ing is about the best way to get penny guides from GS these days.

I did hit best buy right as they opened and got what I wanted, though I really didn't get any extras. I checked again today as well. They either had a hoarder come in after me or they pulled them after I left. I'm thinking they pulled them. It's too bad since I left a lot behind. I could have grabbed more, but my stack was getting pretty heavy. I left at least one of each guide I picked up.

well its good to know best buy still lies. ended up talking to a guy there and he said they pulled them before they opened up on monday. So that either makes you a liar for the first time or best buy a liar for the 3433786291562 time. i'll go with the latter.

[arbiter]

When I worked at EB, the policy was to pull the $.01 guides when their number came up and give them to the manager. I think they had to tally how many went and report them destroyed. I think technically they were supposed to tear the cover off, but usually they didn't. We tended to hoard them at the counter and sell them to people who were buying that game. Because even if you sold them at a penny, it counted as an accessory sale and made your attachment numbers look good.

It was also a good opening line to have a stack of them and say "hey customer, do you happen to play any of these? (wave stack of guides) I'm getting ready to pull them and send them back, and they're only a penny in the computer right now before we get rid of 'em." Even if that didn't move inventory, it usually got people talking about what games they play.

It's the same thing at kmart, only with everything in electronics. We are supposed to pull anything that has dropped down to a cent. Being the person I am I usually just mark it down a bit and sell it to a willing customer.

(Normally comes up on the computer as "enter price here", so it's however much I want it to be.)

There are those rare times though that I will end up selling them like 90% off to a person I liked or someone that really needed it.


Just like any other store, get the people that can do things for you to like you and you will be rewarded. :rofl:

*cough* If you guys ever run into the Kmart in greenwood, and I happen to be working, I wouldn't mind giving you guys some deals on what I can. *cough*


Incase you're in the area. ;)

When I used to work at a video store I had a similar policy. I'm just now getting used to being back in Indianapolis, but I love being back. This is my home. Do any of the Indianapolis CAGs ever get together?

[The Mana Knight]

Well, I'm going to flat out admit that I have seen great deals at Meijer, but I'm kind of keeping a little quiet about them. If people want to know what PS3 deals I saw, you can ask me in private (I tend to do want to say too much or I'll be seeing hoarders take everything just to sell).

As for Indy, I was there on Wednesday, but not for long. I don't go there all the time (like 2-3 times every month), but my Dad goes down there a lot because of a certain situation with my older sister (she lives in Indy). There's a SMALL chance I'll get a job in Indy, because a few companies down there have my resume, but it's more likely I'll end up in another state (such as the D.C. area, Florida, Chicago area, Ohio, Pittsburgh area, etc.). I actually hope to stay in Indiana, but haven't had much luck finding jobs around here.

Like I posted in my blog, I did go to the job fair at my old college (in West Lafayette, IN) on Wednesday and it went really well. I just hope to finally get something.

[Trollsmeesh]

I sent you a PM. :3

[The Mana Knight]

I just wanted to tell Indiana CAGs that the good news is I finally got an email from a company wanting to do an interview with me (they are located in Indiana). I really hope to get it since it's in an area I really like, and it will keep me in the state of Indiana. If I have no luck, I may end up in Illinois.

Track and feild 9.90
AIr port something 9.90
Megaman starforce 2 14.90
Locks quest (got last copy but aking back ) 14.90

they had 1 copy of persona 3 for 14.90 (not worth it to me)

[The Mana Knight]

dog food : )Nope.

I didn't pay too close attention to the DS/Wii stuff at Meijer, but they didn't have much left.

yea the one on Lima the only cheap PSP game was Tennis 3 and some other game drop dead fred or something like that .. neither was worth 10

after looking more at these games and at the massive backlog i got i might take all of them back Thursday beside the AIRPORT GAME... i found that game fun and is worth 10 bucks...

If locks quest was 10 i probally would of kept it but not worth it for 15

[The Mana Knight]

All right, which CAG after Thursday afternoon went to Sears and hoarded all the $4.97 games for PS3/360, such as Formula One: CE, Dynasty Warriors GUNDAM, NBA Street Homecourt, Tenchu Z, etc.? I went there today and noticed everyone of them was gone.

I stopped by the castleton Meijer and the only good things they had on sale were some 75% off copies of Command and conquer 3: Kane's wrath and F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate. They did have about four copies of the collector's edition of WoW: Wrath of the Lich King at retail price ($79.99???). Also a rediculous number of the lunch box special editions of Fallout 3 for both PS3 and 360 at retail price (69.99 I think).

Also stopped by the Castleton Circuit City. Games are marked off 40% now and pretty all the good games were gone. Did see two special edition copies of Saints Row 2 and after the discount I think they would be about $40. Also some NCsoft time cards for cheap. But the big surprise was the rediculous price they wanted for the regular edition of WoW at $40 before discount. As far as I could tell all copies of Wrath of the Lich King were gone, but then again the organization they had at the store was terrible. Finally I will still say the TVs are overpriced. When they want $1800 for a 46 inch LCD TV when you can get the same price or better online...you can guess they were not moving TV sets.

When they want $1800 for a 46 inch LCD TV when you can get the same price or better online...you can guess they were not moving TV sets.Yeah, I bet Circuit City still won't ever top how I was able to get a 47" LG LCD HDTV for $909 (1080p at 120Hz) that I bought at h.h. Gregg in Indy. It was an opened box display model though. The prices are even higher than Stucky Brothers in my area (who has crazy high prices usually), which is sad.

[arbiter]

I got a 37" LCD from Stucky Bros's a couple of months ago. Their prices were the same as everyone else, and they price match. (and they're a warranty center for LG and Toshiba and have pick up service if your TV breaks)

[depascal22]

You guys do know that 120 hz is a rip off right? Also, NEVER EVER buy a display model TV.

Case in point, we didn't have a signal going to our TVs for the last five hours of the day today. Some have a nice feature where the No Signal indicator floats around the screen but some TVs (LG is one of the brands) just sit there as a nice static image for hours. We turn those TVs on at open and turn them off a few minutes before close. Most days that ends up being 12 hours straight.

Know why? Because we don't really give a damn about displays that we don't own. It's true for any display of any kind. I've doing my best to discourage anyone from buying displays but people still want them. My boss and I have a running joke that people want displays more when you warn them about it the same way dudes love skanky whores even more after they get a nasty STD.

Every single TV in my household is open box.

I actually like having 120Hz. While most things it would make a difference for, a few things I have it does.

There prices aren't as bad as they use to be IMO. Best Buy and CC seem high IMO.

[Jasonofindy]

The following were available at the Greenwood Target today:

In the clearance section

Singstar Vol 1 with 2 microphones: $29.98
Disney Sing something or other $29.98 (I was unfamiliar with the game but it looked to be based around their current crop of "Tween" shows and not their animated classics)
PS3 Guitar Hero Aerosmith- 25ish
Haze- 19.98
Too Human- 19.98
360 Kung-fu Panda -no price tag
A bunch of Rock Band 1 bundles for $99
Miscellaneous EA sports games that I can't recall the exact details for

Still in the main cases but marked with clearance stickers:

360
Tomb Raider Underworld, Soul Caliber IV, and Brothers in Arms- 41.98

PS3 Farcry 2- $29.98 Unfortunately, the 360 version of this is still full price at 59.98


I would have jumped on Farcry 2 if it were the 360 version. As far as I know that is GREAT price on the PS3 version and they are pretty much technically identical, but unfortunately the people I'd play it online with only have 360s. That is a decent price on Too Human if you missed Wal-mart's earlier online sale of the game. Unfortunately, I just picked it up used through Family Video.com

The SingStar bundle is still cheaper at Meijer if you can find it, but is worth watching for another price drop. Haze can obviously be found cheaper elsewhere.

[SteveMcQ]

Anyone checked out the Indy CCs if they still have anything worthwhile?

[depascal22]

We literally made a mountain out of the new Guitar Hero World Tours we got in from the Columbus CC. We got at least a dozen of the 360 version and almost that many of the PS3 version.

We also got a crapload of Yoga Mats, Wii Fit Sleeves, Zappers, Steering Wheels, and Sports Kits.

I think we also got in the Garmin 260 but I tried to avoid the camera/GPS section like the plague today.

[falcon815]

I keep waiting for the Greenwood CC to drop the price on GH-related accessories. My wife and I have been watching the desk-top drum kit, mostly for the foot pedal, but it's been stuck at 20% forever. :\

[slidecage]

i got around 8 games im going to be returning to Sears come around Friday

2 def jam icons
1 nba homecourt
3 Ps2 junk titles

and not sure off hand what the other 2 are will list them when i get back just a heads up if anyones going overt here this weekend

[Tallboy2005]

Hey guys, I'm going to be doing my rounds around Greenwood as well. I read in another post that Deals the dollar store has $3 Original Xbox games so I was planning on stopping there and seeing what I could snag. I'll let you know what I get when I return.

Hey guys, I'm going to be doing my rounds around Greenwood as well. I read in another post that Deals the dollar store has $3 Original Xbox games so I was planning on stopping there and seeing what I could snag. I'll let you know what I get when I return.

Hit up Greenwood and here's what I err..... didn't find haha. Circuit City was pretty bare to say the least. They had probably 10 total 360 and ps3 games in the whole store condensed on the left hand side wall. Very slim picking for console games and they were 40% off. Still had a decent selection of pc games, forgot to check what % they are though. Tv's were still 25% off and had quite a few. If your in the market for console games though, I wouldn't waste the gas. Hit up Best Buy. Seen a few new markdowns for 360. They had Blitz: The League 2 for $20 and Samuri Warriors 2: Empires for $20, everything else looked the same. The thing that confused me the most was that they were sold out of the 4000 Microsoft Point Cards for $50, but they had a few of the 4000 cards with GTA 4 on the front of them for $45, lol. Don't hold me to this but I'm about 95% sure they are the exact same thing, so why the cheaper cards were left is beyond me. Next I went to check out Deals which is right across the street from the Best Buy to see if they had those $3 original Xbox games, but they either didn't get any or they sold out quick. I checked the entire store, including the food aisle just to make sure, no dice. Last, I hit up the Target clearance. Still had the same old stuff. 1 copy of Last Reminant for $41, Unreal Tournament 3 (360) (I believe $27 but not 100% sure on that), Fracture $20, Tomb Raider Underworld (360) $41, had 2-3 copies of Disney Sing It for ps3 but didn't check price and 1 copy for ps2, and still had 2 Rock Band 1 complete bundles for $97. From all of those stores, I walked away with nothing haha. So I went to Gamestop and bought Zoids Assult for $30. Not a deal but wanted to get the game, since only 1601 people have played the game in the world haha. Anyways, game on, and happy bargin hunting!! :)

Damn. i was on the south side last weekend and stopped by Circuit City specifically hoping to find a 4000 point card. Didn't see the GTA cards. Were they with the other video game stuff or in another area? Also, were they in the clamshell packaging? I may have to make another run down there.

Anyone able to spot anymore Singstar Vol. 1 (PS3) anywhere on clearance? I briefly saw two on clearance for $41.98 at the Southport Target, but that's a little more than I wanted to pay for it. Also, no Mercs 2 (360) clearance sightings?

[maxfisher]

I snagged a Mercs 2 for $14.98 over the weekend at the Glendale Target. They probably had around 8 - 10 left. Their clearance section was pretty decimated and I think the only reason Mercs 2 was left was because it was still in the case with the rest of the 360 games. I've seen the Singstar set at either the Castleton or 116th/69 Target, but I forget which one and I'm pretty sure it was still at the $41.98 price. I've also been looking for a $9.98 of Fracture (360) or Too Human and it seems like the stores on the north side still have them both for around $20.

[pezmanmike]

I was visiting the lake house in beautiful Rochester IN last week and at the local Walmart they had on clearance 2000 wii points cards with classic controller sleeve for $15.

i think there are about 10 left

[maxfisher]

I forgot a Target had opened up in Glendale. Thanks for the heads up.

No problem. I actually stopped by there tonight. They had 6 copies of Mercs 2 left for $15, but they had moved them from the case to the clearance endcap. Rest of the endcap was titles like Endwar, Fracture, NCAA Basketball 08 and a couple others, all for $20 to $40 each. They also had a couple of the Singstar packages in with PS3 accessories, but they were still $41.98 each.

Sorry for the late response. They were in with the 360 accessories and were pegghooked and loose (no clamshell).

Also, no Mercs 2 (360) clearance sightings?

There wasn't any Mercs 2 at the Greenwood Target either (was looking for it too). Looks like we'll have to take a drive if we want it for cheap. :cry:

[SteveMcQ]

Got Mercs 2 (360) for $14.98 at Glendale Target as maxfisher mentioned. Four copies left as of Friday afternoon. Also decided to grab FarCry 2 (PS3) at the same price. I usually like getting games for the 360, but that's too nice a price to pass on a good looking game. End War (PS3 - game only) was also $14.98 on that endcap, but there were only 2 copies left. Thanks for the heads up maxfisher.

[maxfisher]

Sorry for the late response. They were in with the 360 accessories and were pegghooked and loose (no clamshell).

I wonder if they can even sell those or if they're just out by mistake. Don't they have to activate at the time they scan them? I'm going to be about 20 minutes from that store meeting some people for dinner tonight, so I'm debating whether it's worth leaving an hour early to try to snag some cheap points.

Got Mercs 2 (360) for $14.98 at Glendale Target as maxfisher mentioned. Four copies left as of Friday afternoon. Also decided to grab FarCry 2 (PS3) at the same price. I usually like getting games for the 360, but that's too nice a price to pass on a good looking game. End War (PS3 - game only) was also $14.98 on that endcap, but there were only 2 copies left. Thanks for the heads up maxfisher.

Glad to be of help. That's really weird on End War. When I scanned it last night it came up $29.98. I guess maybe we've found a Target that does drops on a day other than Monday? I might have to stop on my way home to snag a copy at that price.

[Tallboy2005]

Glad you found it Steve!! Also, I just went and picked up one of those point cards and it looks like they weren't even touched from the other day. They are still in with the 360 accessories on the bottom shelf. When I got there today they looked like they were pushed back and it looked like they were gone. But they still had a good 9 or so, and it rang up priced at $45. The guy in font of me had 2 gift cards and I always forget to use gift cards, and I had a Best Buy card that was dated 2006 at the bottom that still had $9, so it came up to like $35 and some change haha.

[JP]

I thought the 360 point cards that weren't in clamshells didn't work properly?

Damn my poor reading skills! I thought your original post said the cards were at Circuit City, not Best Buy. My bad.

[Tallboy2005]

I believe thats just a Circuit City issue. I buy them out of the clamshell all the time and haven't had a bad one yet, and just activated the one I bought today from Best Buy and it credited my account.

[Tallboy2005]

Its ok, the Best Buy is literally 3 blocks south of Circuit City, on 31. But you were wanting that 40% off, Best Buy doesn't have that. Sorry to get your hopes up man.

[JP]

Ah, my poor reading skills got screwed up on your big post above. I was skimming your post and didn't notice the switch from Circuit City to Best Buy.

[Tallboy2005]

Sorry guys. I'll try to bold the locatons next time I post.

[JP]

Not a big deal really, my fault for not paying attention.

[The Mana Knight]

I was suppose to go to Indy today and pick up SFIV at Fry's, but then had a change of plans. I might go next weekend, who knows.

[SteveMcQ]

This is nice...some activity--and helpful activity at that--from other Indy CAGs. For a while we only had a few posting. Nice to hear from you guys. I wonder if we have enough here to do a meet up or something? Maybe with the Fort Wayne guys like TMK can be in town? That'd be interesting.

[The Mana Knight]

Who knows, I might get a job in Indy. The only reason I'm slightly hesitant about it is because I'd be living near my sister, and I know she would constantly bug me to do stuff for her.

I'd be down haha.

[depascal22]

I'm down. I'm pretty sure there are alot more Indy (and Greenwood) CAGs that don't post but would come out of the woodwork for a meetup.

[JP]

I haven't been an active deal hunter since my move back to Indianapolis but I would definitely be ready for a meetup. I'm a Northside CAG, not the Greenwood area.

[slidecage]

my cousin was in talks with ipfw about holding a meet up/game trade there... its their final year there and was told they might be able to get a room in the union hall for free

[Trollsmeesh]

Hey guys, I'd be up to hang with my fellow CAGs. :)

[JP]

Well it does sound like we have some interested parties. We should really get the ball rolling on this.

[Deewtaei]

Southside Indianapolis/Greenwood CAG here. I'd be interested in some kind of social gathering. Out of curiousity, how many of us are at or over the age of 30?

[SteveMcQ]

Where would be a good place to meet? Ideally in the spring. This cold weather makes me not want to go outside. I wish there was still a Block Party on 86th. That was always a fun place to hang out.

[JP]

Well sadly a lot of the places that I spend time are Bar/Grill places: Scotty's Brewhouse, Champps, been to the The Spot once, Buffalo Wildwings is good. The only places downtown I actually go to are the Slippery Noodle and Howl at the Moon.

[donaldtrunk]

my cousin was in talks with ipfw about holding a meet up/game trade there... its their final year there and was told they might be able to get a room in the union hall for free

A meetup/swap at IPFW would be ideal.

[falcon815]

Greenwood CAG also down with a meet-up. Not quite to 30 yet, but gettin' there.

[The Mana Knight]

I haven't been an active deal hunter since my move back to Indianapolis but I would definitely be ready for a meetup. I'm a Northside CAG, not the Greenwood area.That's usually where I am when I go down to Indy.

Well it does sound like we have some interested parties. We should really get the ball rolling on this.Yeah. I'm the type who is normally very good at organizing these types of things, but I've been holding off in a way until certain things get settled.

As long as the meet up isn't at a bar, there's a chance I may go (lol, most everyone should know my opinion on bars by now).

I actually plan on a Midwest CAG meet up which I've been planning for over a year, just won't execute it/reveal it yet (although it's not just for people in Indiana, for people in MI, OH, PA, and other states too).

A meetup/swap at IPFW would be ideal.I agree, but I'm really not sure if I'd be able to make it (my schedule is all over the place right now). Although I'm un-employed, I'm still quite busy and get interruptions a lot.

[maxfisher]

31 here. I'd be up for a meet at some point, but my schedule's hell right now. I'm working full time, doing night classes for my graduate degree and trying to get a new business off the ground. In other words, there's probably only about a 10% chance I'd actually be able to make it to a meet in the next year or so.

[falcon815]

Oh, and if any of you southsiders were looking to jump on the Rock Band bandwagon, now would be the time. SV/135 Target had two 360 copies of the RB1 full bundle for $70 yesterday, and there are reports that some Targets had the price drop to $35 today. I haven't been to this particular Target today myself, but at that price, it'd be worth checking into...

And if you do get on the RB bandwagon, let me know; I'd love to play online more.

[maxfisher]

The Nora Target had a copy of Haze for $7.48 today, but everything else seemed up around the $27-$29 price point. They also had a couple Rock Bands left, but those were still close to $100.

[The Mana Knight]

I think at the Target in Fort Wayne (near the Glenbook Mall), RB was $90 or so.

Bad news everyone, I didn't get the job in Lafayette, IN (which I really wanted), so now the chances of me staying in Indiana for a job are even more slim. :-(

[maxfisher]

Nice summary. Thanks.

Anyone able to spot anymore Singstar Vol. 1 (PS3) anywhere on clearance? I briefly saw two on clearance for $41.98 at the Southport Target, but that's a little more than I wanted to pay for it. Also, no Mercs 2 (360) clearance sightings?

Spotted three Singstar Vol. 1's for $14.98 each at the Castleton Target on my way home from work today. Only other things I remember seeing were Guitar Hero Aerosmith, Too Human & Fracture, none of which dropped.

[Jasonofindy]

Rock band was sitting at $70 at the Greenwood Target tonight. The $30 Singstars are all gone as are the Too Humans, Farcry 2's, and Mercs 2's. They still had the Disney Sing games, Fracture 19.98, and a couple of Tomb Raider Underworlds at $30.

[Rictor]

Any hardcore NES collectors/dealers in Indy? I am going to sell my NES collection soon...have to get a list together of what I have. There are 500-600 different games plus duplicates of some stuff, I believe. Also have an original top loader with Dogbone and a ton of accessories. Probably sell the collection for around $3 a game times the number of games as one wholesale lot and throw the system/accessories/Nintendo storage boxes/black and clear cases/etc. in for free. I won't be breaking it up, as it will go on Ebay as one lot if I don't sell it locally.

Also have a boxed Famicom with a ton of games and a boxed Super Famicom with a ton of games. Those will probably end up on Ebay, as I don't think there's a lot of local interest.

[JP]

Wow, wish that could be broken up or I'd take a decent chunk of that, just don't have the cash flow currently for the full lot.

I'm right in really debating (especially if I have to move) whether I ditch all my video game console boxes (I'd give them for free most likely). I'm trying to clean up just in case (so moving would be easier).

[JP]

I had a similar debate when I was moving, and it was kind of a pain to have all of my original boxes, but I've gotten very lucky in having enough closet space. They definitely take up a lot of room.

[Rictor]

Wow, wish that could be broken up or I'd take a decent chunk of that, just don't have the cash flow currently for the full lot.

Yah, I would never do that as people would just cherry pick all the $10, $20, $30 games for $3 a pop.

[JP]

Oh definitely understand that. I really wish I had the funds. I could probably complete all of my definite wants for the NES.

[The Mana Knight]

Right now (more job news) there's a company who has my resume down in the southern portion of Indy (near Greenwood) and claims I'm one of their top people (has a position in mind for me), but right now they are on a hiring freeze. I'd really like to be there since I know some there and it's a great company.

I store my game boxes in my closet currently, but I'm not sure if I want to move them all one day, lol.

I'm looking at going to GameStop this weekend to trade in some games. I might take advantage of the hardware trade-in.

Definitely good prospective on the job front, good luck on that. I've been tempted to get rid of some of my older stuff, I just can't bring myself to do it though. Everytime I think about it, I know I will just buy them back again at some point.

[SteveMcQ]

Got the last Singstar (PS3) at the Castleton store! Thanks again maxfisher. That's the second time I was able to pick up stuff I've wanted thanks to your info.

For other Indy CAGs, the Castleton store also had Killzone 2 in the cabinets. I didn't try to purchase it since I have it coming from Amazon later this week, but it looked like there were no problems selling it--only four copies left as of this afternoon.

[JP]

Where is the freaking Castleton Target? I live like 4 minutes from the mall, and everyone says it is near there but I have never seen the Target.

[The Mana Knight]

Where is the freaking Castleton Target? I live like 4 minutes from the mall, and everyone says it is near there but I have never seen the Target.I've seen it and been to it before. It's really in a weird location. If I'm not mistaken, you can see the back of it from Dick's Sporting goods from the mall.

Maybe one day I'll run into you down there. ;)

[maxfisher]

Where is the freaking Castleton Target? I live like 4 minutes from the mall, and everyone says it is near there but I have never seen the Target.

It's not actually in the mall area. There's a road that wraps around the mall that's 86th St. running east/west and something else (maybe Center Run?) running north/south. The Target's on that road, across from Costco.

Got the last Singstar (PS3) at the Castleton store! Thanks again maxfisher. That's the second time I was able to pick up stuff I've wanted thanks to your info.

No problem. I've got so many great deals on this board over the years that it always feels good to help a fellow CAG out. That said, if you feel like repaying the favor, I'm trying to find The Last Remnant, Too Human, Spider-Man Web of Shadows and/or Tomb Raider Underworld for $15 or less each. If you happen to see any, a heads up would be much appreciated.

As for updates, I stopped at the Glendale Target again tonight. The Last Remnant dropped to $29.98, but all the other clearance stuff looked the same. They also had a bunch of mostly crappy DS games 'temporarily reduced' to $10 and Guitar Hero World Tour (game only/360) marked down to $39.99. Driving between home, work and IUPUI, I pass the Glendale, Nora, Castleton, North 31 and 116th St. Targets, so I'll try to keep the thread updated on those locations from week to week.

[SteveMcQ]

Where is the freaking Castleton Target? I live like 4 minutes from the mall, and everyone says it is near there but I have never seen the Target.It's along Center Run Dr./86th St. Going North on Allisonville, make a right onto 86th (where Bucca/Costco are), past the mall. It's the last stoplight before the road curves to become Center Run Dr.

Or alternatively, coming from the 82nd street side, it's the cross street that has the Good Year store on the opposite side and the strip malls on the other (Center Run Dr.).

I'll keep an eye out for your stuff, maxfisher.

Not to be a dick TMK, but companies will use that line to keep good candidates from taking another job. There might be another dozen people that got the same message. My unsolicited advice is to continue hitting the trail looking for other opportunities.

[The Mana Knight]

Not to be a dick TMK, but companies will use that line to keep good candidates from taking another job. There might be another dozen people that got the same message. My unsolicited advice is to continue hitting the trail looking for other opportunities.Actually, the person who said that is someone we know in the family (who is in charge of hiring). Technically, they haven't been taking resumes or had any job postings for quite a while. He's the entire reason my resume is with them because my Dad was golfing with him, told him I was still looking for a job, and he said he'll take the resume. It's not one of those companies I don't know the people at very well and was applying to (like other jobs I applied for).

Now if this was a company I barely know who said the same thing (like a local company I applied to 10 or so positions before), then I wouldn't buy it.

[depascal22]

You should be fine then. I didn't want you to sit around for weeks waiting for a call.

The DC area is far and very expensive. I understand your reluctance on moving there. It'd be better if they at least had better weather than here. Too bad you can't get a job offer in Miami or something.

[arbiter]

Anyone use Twitter? We could coordinate some hashtags to Tweet deals to just the Indiana, Indy, FW, Southbend people.

I'm going to start using #fwcag when I find stuff in stores.

Ah. Lucky you beat me to that one. That's the Target that is a couple minutes from my office. Clearance stuff tends to sell quickly there. If something gets cheap enough, then it sells to me.

Mana Knight: It would have to be a darn good job in Miami. Cost of living there is insane. A house that costs $150,000 in Indy will be $1.5 million in Miami. An apartment that is $500-1,000 a month here will be $3,000-5,000 a month there. There are definitely affordable places to live in Florida, but Miami isn't one of them. Check out central and northern Florida. Orlando is very affordable.

If anyone wants to try and pick up Halo Wars early I saw it on the shelves at the Meijer at 126th and Keystone last night. Didn't have a price tag, so I don't know that they are selling it yet.

[floormat]

never used twitter. basically if you set up fwcag on twitter any of us who choose to sign up would receive a text message or email on whatever from any of us signed up on twitter whenever one of us finds a local deal and posts it. is that basically how it works? can we choose to ignore somoene if they become annoying or stop posting about fw deals and just post junk? hey I know i could end up being that person too.

[floormat]

oh also does anyone have one of the metal arcade style DDR pads they are looking to get rid of? thanks.

[Tallboy2005]

Next I went to check out Deals which is right across the street from the Best Buy to see if they had those $3 original Xbox games, but they either didn't get any or they sold out quick. I checked the entire store, including the food aisle just to make sure, no dice.

Hey guys, my sister was in there the other day and said she seen these so, I just went and found them. They are right behind the registers on the left hand side of the Greenwood Deals. I went ahead and bought 1 of everything for the heck of it. So here is what they had, and they are all Original Xbox games.

Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow
Spy Hunter 2 (I got the last one :P)
Pulse Racer
High Rollers Casino
Knight's Apprentice: Memorick's Adventures
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (Platinum Hit box)
Dead To Rights (Platinum Hit box)
Power Drome
IHRA Motorsports Drag Racing 2004
IHRA Motorsports Professional Drag Racing 2005
Kelly Slaters's Pro Surfer
Defender

So if anyone is interested in those they had quite a few of most everything. :)

[Trollsmeesh]

Right now at the Greenwood Kmart I work out we have a few sports games for the PS2 for 5.99 and that DS Teenage Zombies game for 5.99.

[Tallboy2005]

Hey Trolls, I sent you a PM man.

[Trollsmeesh]

Right on, I got it. I sent you one back mate. :D

[karubah]

Stopped by the local Meijer in Castleton and saw that Grand Theft Auto IV was dropped to $39.99.
One strange deal I saw there was for PS3s. If you buy one they give you some piece of network equipment free. Was kind of confused on what they meant.
Also they still have two Collector Edition boxes of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King for $69.99.

[Tallboy2005]

Hey guys did, my rounds around Greenwood again today, here's what I seen. Hit up Circuit City even thought I knew they didn't have much of anything. Sure enough, they had no console games at all. Pc games were pretty slim pickings and were at 60% off. The store was really bare and I don't see it lasting much longer. Tv's were 40% off and not a lot of them left either. Next I hit up Best Buy. I seen last night in their rewards zone deals of the week, they have Mercinaries 2 (360) for $10. So I went and sure enough they had about 10 copies left. I went to check out the guy asked if I had a rewards card and he scaned it and the game and the total came to $32.xx. He seen my face and knew something was wrong and asked had I seen it cheaper, and I said ya I seen it on the net for $10, and sure enough he hit 1 key and it rang up $10. I thought that was a tad sly but regardless was happy with the outcome. For those of you intersted that deal only last until tonight (2/28), sorry for the late info but i just seen it yesterday myself. Next I hit up the Target clearance. Nothing tickled my fancy there. They had about 3 copies of Tomb Raider Underworld (360) for $29.xx, 1 copy of The Last Reminant (360) for $29.xx, 1 copy of Unreal Tournament 3 (360) for $19.xx and a DS game which slips my mind atm. That was all they had gaming wise in the clearance area. I'm watching the Underworld and Last Reminant, but they are still rather new and I feel with time these will drop lower than $30. So all I walked away with from the day was Mercs 2. Hope this helps you guys, and happy hunting.

[jlseal]

The Circuit City in Columbus had a few 360 games left at 60% off. I didn't pay much attention but I did notice a bunch of copies of Halo 3 and a few collector's editions. Its pretty picked over.

[Trollsmeesh]

Hey guys, I just made a short list of some PS2/360 games along with a PS3 accessory that the Greenwood Kmart has right now.


:360:Unreal Tournament 3 - 19.99
:360:PGR4 - 19.99
:360:Bully Schoolyard Edition - 19.99

Great recaps Tallboy and Trollsmeesh. Thanks!

If any Indy CAGs spot some SFIV fightpads (PS3) in stock somewhere, please post. I doubt I'll have any luck, but I'm attributing my suckiness in the game to not having the right accessory.

[depascal22]

I'm also looking for the fightpads for either system if someone comes across them.

Had a small brawl in the Greenwood CC this afternoon. Some guy got all crazy just because the prices were too high in his opinion. Cops were called after they made a quick getaway. He's lucky he didn't get choked out by one of the other associates there.

Ya I've seen lots of 360 ones at Best Buy, I haven't checked for ps3 ones. Will do next time I'm in. I believe Best Buy is the only place that sells them (well thats the only places I've seen them be sold).

Hey Steve you may want to check this link someone just posted recently about the street fighter controllers. http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216344

[SteveMcQ]

Yup, thanks...I managed to get an order in for one before they went OOS. Hopefully, it doesn't fall through. Saves me time and money from having to run around town looking for one.

[maxfisher]

Checked the Castleton Target on my lunch. Last Remnant dropped from $41.98 to $29.98 and they had one left. Everything else was still at the $20 and $30 points with no drops that I noticed. There were about half as many games as were there last week (quantity, not titles), so someone's buying them at those price points.

[maxfisher]

Stopped at the 116th St. & Glendale Targets tonight. Everything was same as last week, except they put some dual PS3 controller chargers out at Glendale. Original price was $19.95 and they were marked down to $13.98.

I go to that Target weekly...people pretty much always grab the games before they hit 75% off. Only recent exceptions I've seen were Singstar games and Drilldozer. I went just about every day a couple months ago when they were clearancing out Wii games I wanted...never got to the magic 75% off number and I didn't need them bad enough to pay the 50% off price. Even food that is clearanced at that store seems to disappear at 15% off and never hits 30% off.

[Tallboy2005]

Thanks for the list. Was curious about this. Nothing worth the drive to Greenwood or the $3 in my opinion. I wonder if other Deals stores have this and if they have the same game selection?

Well I noticed on a few of the games they had a like $4.99 sticker on them from Best Buy, so I'm guessing this is just what Best Buy can't sell. So I would assume that if they did get them from Best Buy, that they probably would have different games, but to be honest, I have no idea. I noticed the Best Buy in Greenwood still had halo 1 and 2, and a few other original Xbox games so if they ever send those to deals, I wouldn't mind another copy of both haha. :P

Also guys, I was at the Walmart in kinda Greenwood/Southport (off of 31 and Shelby.) and they had a rack around where the layaway was in the back of electronics that said $10. They had a lot of various titles. I only really remembered the 360 ones. The were:

NBA Street Homecourt
Smash Court Tennis 3
Conan
The Golden Compass

Theres a few more 360 games I can't think of atm, but that had a ton of Wii games a few DS games thrown in there and don't remember seeing any PS3 games but there could have been, and a few Ps2 games I believe. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

http://fortwayneindiana.blogspot.com/2008/05/you-know-youre-from-ft-wayne-when.html

It brings up lots of old memories of the area and definitely shows I've been living in the city too long.
I know a lot of those, but some were definitely before I was born. I remember most of the stuff about glenbrook and southtown malls. I do wish I would have been able to go to the arcades more, but I was too young. I remember when there were some VR machines at glenbrook and I really wanted to try one.

that VR machine was locatated down in the foodcourt next to the acrade room wasnt it...

i remember thinking who in the right minds would be stupid enough to pay 10 bucks for 3 mins (it was either 10 bucks or 20 bucks for 3 mins)

That one near the food court is the one I was thinking of. It probably was a rip off, but I don't think I ever got close to see the price to know that.

Just to warn you guys.....Shit has been getting real crazy at the Greenwood CC. We've seen fights twice in the last four days and most of my fellow co-workers are on edge. Please don't say anything that could be construed as a threat or you might get a printer to the dome.

Glad I got that Buffalo 320 GB wireless server last Friday, then! Stay safe.

[Tallboy2005]

Wow stay safe depascal22, any word on your guys last day?

[squidhead442]

In case this pertains to anybody....the Evansville Circuit City is now closed!

I went last night in the hopes of cleaning up some cheap crap, but the lights were off and the store was empty. Dang!

[ObiBen]

does anyone know the status of the Castleton CC? Are they all cleared out? I haven't had a chance to get over there.

[maxfisher]

Pretty much cleared out. I was in Tuesday and the only gaming items I saw were a shitload of intercooler fans for the Wii. In terms of what else was left:
- a couple Blu-Ray HTIB sets for $400
- a handful of store display TV's left for 40% off
- a bunch of overpriced cords & cables
- some sets of outdoor speakers
- about 15 Memorex digital picture frames (bought one of these for myself)
- a bunch of car stereo installation kits
- maybe 25 CDs & 25 DVDs, tops
- some cell phone chargers
- a table of used office supplies (staplers, tape dispensers, etc)

That's all I can remember. All in all, I was happy to get the digital picture frame for 70% off, but everything else sucked.

[Trollsmeesh]

Depascal22, anything worth getting at the greenwood CC? I was thinking of stopping by tomorrow but didn't know if it would be a waste. ha

#36. I was on Happy's Place twice... I wonder what ever happened to him.

[depascal22]

Greenwood CC has a bunch of Panasonic 50" Plasmas (85 series) and a couple Sony Cybershots left. Other than that, you're out of luck.

Last day will be March 8th. Just to warn you guys, we will be very hung over from the party on Saturday night.

Lmao thats so awesome haha!! I'll probably see if I can snag a T.V. on Sunday if the price is within budget and I don't work. Good luck to your next job depascal and stay out of those fights. :)

#36. I was on Happy's Place twice... I wonder what ever happened to him.I think Fox 55 decided to stop airing him. There were 3 different people who were Happy, if I remember correctly. I was never on that show, but I remember watching it quite well.

How much are those 50" Panny's going for? I have a good friend that's been looking for a deal on one and I might steer him down there.

LOL i still remember the time we pulled a joke on my grandmother.... we used to watch happys place and Froggies pad every morning .... Well one day she was talking about wondering what ever happened to to the first happy the hobo and we told her

Didnt you hear that he flipped out on tv and killed himself in front of all of the little chidlren .... She belived it and called up 55...


They told her that he moved to chicago and had a very popular talk show based out of chicago ...


dont know if its true or not but that is what they told us

[depascal22]

Panasonic 50" are gone folks. Someone came in yesterday afternoon and bought them ALL. I can't blame him. They were only 1100 a piece.

When I left today at 2pm, someone was going to buy the last two TVs but he hadn't shown back up by the time I left.

I ended up buying the Sony Upscaling 5 disc DVD/CD changer for $65. I think that's about it for me. Nothing really left except for the 12" Touchscreen HP laptop but it's still over $800. I might strike a deal with the liquidator if it's still there after closing Sunday night.

As for the two people that assaulted CC employees over the week, they were both apprehended and charged as of Wednesday night.

[maxfisher]

Thanks for the update. $1100 is good, but not astoundingly so. I snagged the same TV at Best Buy in December for $1500, but they were giving out a $150 gift card with it and the equivalent of $150 in reward zone certificates, which pretty much knocked it down to $1200 for me. Seems liquidation sales just aren't what they used to be. Nowadays, most everything's bought up at discount levels higher than Amazon's prices. I remember way back when Phar-mor (sp?) went out of business, I stocked up on VHS movies, CDs and games for like 1/5 of what you could buy them for anyplace else.

[depascal22]

I think the liquidators have perfected the psychology of a liquidation sale. You'll get some people that realize the prices are high and they either bitch about it or leave. Sadly, the majority of the people snatch everything up thinking they're getting a deal at 10% off. Luckily, I got to educate alot of people about Amazon, Newegg, and some of the other great sites on the web. It's a good thing the liquidation manager never heard me telling people to buy elsewhere.

Let the masses think that they are realling getting a steal. :P




But I do the same at kmart, let people know a 'smarter' way of shopping. :)

As of late I have even recommended a few people to CAG.

Nooooooo..... shhhhh. That's more competition. :P Haha j/king. I don't have the money to snag the deals anyways.

[slidecage]

sunday paper in fort wayne they had 4 coupons for half price books

40 % off item thursdaay
30 % off item friday
20 % off item saturday
50% off item sunday

starts 3/12

[bantheradio]

It should also be noted that the first 100 customers will receive a free tote bag and a $5 gift card, one lucky person will get a $200 gift card instead of $5, and the first day we are actually open for business is Monday.

When the madness of grand opening dies down, I will try to periodically post some of the great finds/deals we have in the software/video game section.

[donaldtrunk]

I didn't realize it was opening already. Looks like I have something to do tomorrow. Will there be any coupons available in store, or are they only available in the newspaper? Also, what time is the grand opening tomorrow?

[erehwon]

I'm going to be heading there tomorrow. I'm tempted by a copy of contra for the NES I saw there. I'm trying to decide if $8 is worth it for a NES game. It might be, considering I haven't seen this one during my last several years of garage saling.

[maxfisher]

Hit the Castleton Target tonight. Most prices were the same, but Too Human finally dropped to $9.98. There were only two and I bought one of them, so if anyone wants to get in on it, I'd act quick.

I wonder how bad the lines will be.. I remember when sears gave away a 5 buck card the line started at 2am and the final person was in line at 330am who got the card and the store did not open till 8am

Im sorry but i got better things to do then stand n the cold for 4+ hours for 5 buck card LOL


i probally hit it up thursday and sunday for the the 40 and 50% off coupons.

i doubt there is coupons in the store

[donaldtrunk]

I checked out the store today. Pretty sweet place and they were handing out the coupon sheets at the door.

[maxfisher]

Stopped at the Glendale Target on my way home last night and Tomb Raider & The Last Remnant both finally dropped to $15. I'd say there were 10-15 or so of Tomb Raider, but only 2 of Last Remnant left.

Wonder is this the same mcvans in fort wayne (heard he sold out) does dave even run any of them anymore.... if not he got out at a smart tme cause most of his stores are mostly Junk now

UPDATE in FORT WAYNE WOOO LOL

HALF PRICE books opened today. i got there around 835 and was about 60th in line


Game wise its not better then mcvans mostly did find a few good deals today


ANIMAL CROSSING DS 19.98 or 12. something with the 40% off coupon today.. ONLY DS GAME in the entire store... No psp games no Ds Games ... and knew it would never last till sunday for 50% off


i think they had 1 or 2 xbox 360 game and 1 or 2 ps3 game FOOTBALL 08 and something else

their guides suck. 8 bucks per guide saw tales of something and FF Crisis core and that

Gears of war LE guide for 8. (though if they have them sunday 4 would not be bad)


one more nice fine was KINGDOM HEARTS 2 Greatest hits for 3.00


so ended up blowing about 10 bucks there (after the free 5 buck gift card) on

ANIMAL Crossing ds and KH 2

I probally end up tossing KH 2 up for trade here


Trade in prices suck as well... I asked how much i would get for the Crossing gameand they go 6... so the trade in vaules are VERY Bad and just like gamestop

I be very shocked to see this company still opened by xmas

[falcon815]

To be fair, most of their business is through their books. The one in Greenwood has always kinda sucked on its game inventory (though I've picked up a couple decent guides there for $1... SMG, Phantom Hourglass), but it seems like the place is always packed full of people buying books. Considering they give $.25-$.75 per paperback (in my experience) and then turn around and sell them for half of whatever's on the cover, they probably do pretty well.

bad thing is they are opened right across the street from a boarders. and barns and noble.... many people in line were saying they were there just for the free bag and card ...seen alot of people just walk out as soon as they went in...

there was noone in line when i checkout and that was with probally over 150 people waiting before the store opened.. (many were looking)

i probally go back tomorrow and try to get another bag : ) and look at the 1.00 vhs tapes they had.. (saw them on the way out the door)

the worker said they would be more then happy to have my 200 DS/PSP games but for 3 to 8 bucks a pop i think i pass... LOL

Im shocked that with all of these 2nd hand stores noone followed what mcvans did with the Trade a game and pay xx

I would rather trade my game and give him 6 bucks to get a new game then give my game to them and pay 15 to get a game..


i would say within a mile or two we now have

This store.
Boarders
B and Noble
Disc replay (sells used movies games ect
2 pawn shops
mcvans
a another game trader next to golden corral
gamestop
blockbuster
(if they do buying) Toys r us
the FLEA market on speedway

so that is 10 to 12 places very close to one another and will be shocked if they all make it

wasnt there walk disc replay was going to open up more stores ? never seen a 2nd one open .

tomorrow coupon is 30% off
Saturday is 20% off
sunday is 50% off

i doubt i will shop there once the coupons disappear and probally just buy something on sunday if anything at all....

[bantheradio]

In order to give HPB a fair shake, I feel it is necessary to admit that the bulk of our sales are not from games but instead, as a previous poster has already stated, they come from books. And while we are located in the same general vicinity as two other major book stores and a number of other retail chains, it has never affected business in other locations. In fact, one of the Indy stores has a Disc Replay across the street and the owner of the place has mentioned publically that HPB has increased their business. It is simple economic competition in the end, really.

The other issue I have is we do not give any customer a price quote without seeing the merchandise. There is no ballpark figure or percentage that we give when we do our buys. Every employee is trained on running the buy counter and, because of that, every buy is handled differently.

Lastly, I want to reiterate that our sales are not really linked to games. I think people are hesitant to bring in their used CONSOLE games to us because they have so many other options. My belief is that many think "why should I sell my video games at a book store when I can sell them at a video game store?". Because of this and the sheer lack of console games we see come in on a daily basis, our game section is small and may have difficulty competing with some of the larger video game traders.

I do apologize your HPB experience left you with a sour taste in your mouth. This reply was only written to clear the air and encourage more people to try us out. If this is the wrong place to do it, please move it to the appropriate forum.

it really did not leave a sour taste in my mouth i was just hoping for something different....I do have a question though.. u say every buy is handled differently... Does that mean the quotes will be different or the same

That would be werid of someone offered 8 bucks for an item but then another worker says 5

i hope more people do go there and check it out at least once to see what its like but personally i think it was just too jammed tight... The store seemed like it was not big enough for what they wanted to do

do you work in the fort wayne one.,.. If so do you have to park behind the store and walk up all of those freaking steps...Saw around 30 cars parked behind the buliding and first thought that was people waiting in line...

ANd wonder who had to dressed up like that lizard thing today and hand out ballons : )

[ObiBen]

Every time I'm near HPB I make a point to stop in and check their game selection. I've found a few good deals. Pyschonauts on the Xbox for $3 and a couple of NES titles. Also, their used DVD selection is usually pretty good. I found a couple movies for my dad for Christmas that were in perfect condition.

[bantheradio]

I understand now. It is a smaller store and the opening day madness probably made it feel much, much smaller. I highly recommend coming in sometime next week and checking us out when there aren't as many people there.

And yes, the quotes are different each time. If you bring in your merchandise today for an assessment, it might not be the same if you bring it in the following day. We each have our own system of doing buys and what Employee A finds appealing and interesting, Employee B might not see it in the same way.

Yes, I work at the Fort Wayne store. In fact, I'll be leaving here in about 20 minutes to head in for the day. Just for the time being all employees are parking behind the stairs and walking up the steps to get in the store. It is kind of inconvenient but I could use the exercise so that I feel less guilty about my Rally's addiction.

And the bookworm...

Chances are I will be in that costume by the end of the day.

[The Mana Knight]

I didn't even know they were carrying console games, since I assumed books. :lol:

[erehwon]

I went this morning, but was too late to get a gift card. I didn't get anything today since the book I wanted and the copy of contra I saw on their sneak preview day were gone.

[ObiBen]

FYI, If you go to the McVans location in Fishers and wonder why it isn't there it is because the store has moved to the Broad Ripple location

[donaldtrunk]

one more nice fine was KINGDOM HEARTS 2 Greatest hits for 3.00



I saw the KH2 when I went on Monday. The disc was absolutely destroyed. Good luck getting that to work.

When I stopped by on Monday I picked up a 98 cent copy of Shinobi for the Sega Master System and a massive Fallout 3 guide. $8 for the guide was kind of expensive, but it's one that I'll definately get some use out of.

[slidecage]

went back today and will say its a lot nicer when the crowd isnt not that big...

got another 5 buck gift card (will keep it till sunday 50% off coupon)

i noticed they were not handing out coupons today : (

people must be selling stuff yesterday cause i seen a few new games out toady..

p.force for the psp 14.98 way over priced


might go back saturday and sunday and try to get 2 more 5 buck cards


figured so far grabbed 10 bucks so that KH 2 and animal crossing so far only put me 6 bucks out of pocket

Say 5 for animal crossing and 1 for KH 2

overall from today to yesterday i like the store more cause it was less crowded... and that bookworm thing freaks me out LOL

[Trollsmeesh]

What store are you guys talking about?

[erehwon]

What store are you guys talking about?
The new Half Price Books that opened here in Fort Wayne this week.

lucky we still have a gamestop on lima.. Cousin took my car over there and the freaking brake line broke and almost went into the store LOL

[slidecage]

went to half pricebooks again today.. got a 3rd bag : ) going to give them out as gifts since i know people who love bags like these..

The store was almost dead today compair to thursday

100 bags each day

would guess thursday gone within 10 mins or less
Friday i think they had some left at 930

Today i took mytime and looked around and just left around 5 mins ago and they had probally 50 bags left an hour after opening... Picked up a few cheap books and a few movies

will go back tomorrow to use those 50% off coupons.

[evilmojo12542]

target on 135(greenwood area) has fracture for 9.99 xbox360 in clearnace was a few copy's left last night while there

[depascal22]

Is Fracture even worth the $10?

[Tallboy2005]

To me I'd pick up just about anything for $10 lol. But its not a bad 3rd person shooter. Very interesting game and would make a decent mulitplayer game if anyone ever played it. Thats kind of odd though, I went there last Monday and Target had no 360 games at all, wonder how that one snuck back in, hmm.

[depascal22]

I went by Target last night and I only saw Singstar ABBA, Rock Revolution, Walk Hard (UMD) and GRAW 2 PSP. They also had five million Hannah Montana cameras and crap.

[Trollsmeesh]

I need to get out more, considering that target is right down the street from me. :P

Hey all indy cags. gonna take a trip out 2 indy in a couple months for a few days. after checkin out indy.org i came across a dave and busters type place called xscape and a dinner theater place. is xscape any good and what other suggestions might you all have? is there a japanese hibachi style restaurant in indy? thanks all.



boy its annoying typing on a phone.... ackkk

[depascal22]

There are plenty of hibachi places. I know of one in the Greenwood section of Indy and there's a couple downtown on Illinois St. I believe. If you walk around Circle Center Mall, you really can't miss most of the good downtown joints.

Jillians and Mikado in downtime Indianapolis. Benihana is on the North side in the Keystone at the Crossing complex. They are all chain, but all fine.

There is a locally owned place called Ginza on 38th Street near Lafayette road. I highly recommend it.

I picked up the last XBL 12 month card at K-Mart in Greenwood. Anyone else have any luck price matching at Wal-Mart or Best Buy?

[floormat]

Thanks for all the replys thusfar. What malls would you all suggest visiting?

Anything you think of in indy thats particuarly neat or you enjoy? I grew up south of Chicago but have lived in Fort Wayne for the last 10 years or so. I am sure in a larger city like that there are unique things to consider that you might not even think about living there that smaller cities just dont have. Museums, theater, unique shops or locations.

Like one of the days I will be there will be my birthday so there probably are a few "places to be" on ones birthday in indy for atmosphere, free meal or just uniqueness.

If I am bothering anyone with these questions sorry and let me know. Just this is the best place I reguarly visit to drain knowledge =P Again thanks all for any replies you can offer. Pm me if you would prefer but posting here might help someone else too.

For Birthday options one cannot beat Fastimes Indoor Racing. I dont know what their birthday special is, but they do have one. In terms of restaurants, I dont know if a local one that does anything special. Honestly, Hooters, might be the best in terms of pomp and circumstance.

As for your general time, the IMA is free, and the other museums are reasonably priced. I sometimes go to the Children's Museum with my fiancé, just for the fun of it. The IRT is the best theater in town, but the other smaller shops are nice too.

Have fun, feel free to ask more questions if you are looking for somethign specific.

Nice price on Too Human. I think it only got down to around $25 here. $10 was the price I was hoping for.

[Tallboy2005]

Just got paid, so I'm hitting up Greenwood right now. I'll let you guys know what I snag when I get back. I mainly look for 360 but will try to keep tabs on what I can remember for other systems.

Started off as usual at Best Buy. Didn't see any new changes really. Only thing notable was that they had 2 bins right behind the check out lanes and 1 had $9.99 on it and the other had $14.99 on it. They had a lot of various titles in both bins. The only $10 game for 360 was Beowulf and the only $15 they had there was Kengo: Legend of the 9. I don't recall any PS3, there was a few psp, ds, wii games and quite a few ps2. Nothing in there interested me too much, but if your curious stop by. I walked away empty handed. Next I hit up Target had a few clearance games since the last time I checked. They had MLB Manager for $27.98 for 360 with 3 copies and Afro Samuri behind the glass with mulitple copies for $41.98, PS3 had Singstar: Abba for $9.98 about 8 copies, Rock Revolution for $4.98 with 1 copy. They also had a couple ps2 games for I believe under $15 but I don't recall what they were. I walked away empty handed as well. Lastly, I met up with Trollsmeesh at K-Mart and snaged Dead or Alive 4 for $20 and X-Men: The Offical Game for $4. So hope this helps you guys around G-Wood.

Thanks for the update, Tallboy.



So whatever happened to the meet up in Indy? Should we make a list of interested parties and then go from there? I might be able to do it at my place later this year. Really depends if we buy a place in Old Towne or not.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know we have Dynasty Warriors for the PSP for 3.50 at the greenwood Kmart.(US 31 and Smith Valley) :)



Also, nice meeting up with Tallboy, don't let him fool you guys..take his name as literally as possible. ;)



And Depascal22, I think we should have a meet up. Get a lan going or something cool. :D

Were you working the register when I bought that Xbox Live card last Sunday, Troll?

It's quite possible, what time was it?



Was the guy that checked you out a short kid with longish brown hair? If not, it could have been Matthew(Taller pale guy with short brown hair) or Greg(Taller older guy with red hair).



I can't find my schedule book, so I can't look and see what time, if I worked, on Sunday. haha

Bah, I tried to buy that copy of Dynasty Warriors PSP today, and Matthew wouldn't sell it to me for $3.50. "It doesn't have a price, it just says $0.01. Let me check the other stuff on the shelf... how about $10?" I didn't feel like arguing, so I just put it back on the shelf and left to check Target. :p

wow..xD I'm sorry to hear that.



Let me know if you still want it and we can work out a time when I am around.

I was in the Castleton/Fishers area today. I went to the Target no one can find (near the mall) and saw they had a bunch of PS3 Rock Band bundles, for like $68 I believe. If I didn't already have it, I would have bought it.

Woah! TMK was in the area. I didn't realize that Target was that hard to find even for locals (not including you of course, TMK). Then again that leaves the deals for those in the know.
