Do you know what the clearance pricing cycles are? I'm talking about the aisle caps in electronics where they place the stacks of clearance video & pc games.
At all the Target's around here it goes in a $20, $12, $7, $5 pricing drop if it's a PC boxed game, a similar drop in price if its a jewel cased game but it goes as low as $2.98, and video game's that drop to $7. What I'm trying to figure out if how many days they wait on average before they drop prices again if a clearance item doesn't sell.
I tend to go once every other week, and if I find dropped prices, I drive to all the Target's and find all the prices dropped so it appears to be going in corporate cycle's among all the stores.
I'm asking since a store near me has about 25 copies in the clearance rack of Half Life 2 for $29.98 each and I'm trying to determine the next pricing drop time so I can go in and get one for $20 or less. :-D
