The Target Clearance Thread

[Murcielago77]

WHOOO 100 posts sorry that was pointless

[Liontamer]

Wshakspear, one of the Targets near me had the deluxe starter sets (with ten figures) of the first set of Marvel HeroClix on clearance for $9.98 (originally $19.99) in the toys section. I didn't see any of the booster packs, but if your interested in the Marvel ones, you might want to look into one of those deluxe starter sets.

I actually had a nice conversation with an electronics employee today. He even pointed out a few clearance games in a different aisle that I hadn't noticed. Nothing too great though. The poor guy said he was waiting for some Gamecubes to come in since he had preodered Pokemon Colloseum. You know things are sad when an employee can't even get a system.

[drfrielgood]

WHOO, yeah, 100 posts. Only a genius could do justice to this milestone achievement.

[Wshakspear]

WHOO, yeah, 100 posts. Only a genius could justice to this milestone achievement.


actually, there was two problems with him saying that. He meant 1000 psosts for the thread, and he himself only had 98 posts at that time. oops.


and thanks for clix info.

Why is it that my Target has no deals? It's evil I tell you, EVIL!!!

[DigitalSpace]

Portland, OR

I checked the Target at Mall 205 yesterday since I was in the area. Still nothing too great. Still a lot of copies of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for PSX clearanced at $14. I also noticed a lot of copies of World Series Baseball 2K3 for XBOX clearanced at $15, which is a new clearance find, but nothing amazing.

[Soft Nugget]

marevel explosion, Daredevil on the cover. 2-figure packs still 4 bucks.

[Masterkyo]

Find nothing this week :(

[JohnnyDrama]

My local Target stores don't have any of these deals. Why, Target, why?

[Freshwillis]

My local Target stores don't have any of these deals. Why, Target, why?

Because the cheap ass gods hate you. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you.

Or perhaps another CAG beat you to them.

[video_gamer324]

Why is it that my Target has no deals? It's evil I tell you, EVIL!!!

You're unlucky, just like me. The only two things I've found were RE: Code Veronica X for $4.38 (last one) and Neverwinter Nights for $7.48.

[swetooth9]

i don't fully understand the "process"...is it this? :

you scan your list of upc codes, and when you get a price on something you want, then ask one of the workers to get that game out of the case and scan it? or do you go scan it yourself after they get it out for you?

will this ever happen: your barcode price (when you scanned it) doesn't match the price they scan for?

thanks in advance :D

Whatever prices come up when you scan your list of UPC's are the actual prices. If the price comes up as $0.00, then a Target employee will have to check the UPC with their price-checking gun in order to give you a price. Once you figure out which games you want, you have to make sure that they're in-stock - otherwise, you can't get them. It doesn't matter whether you scan the UPC's or an employee does.

but if it doesn't matter if i scan the upc's or the employee...how would they give me a price on their price checking gun if the item is 0.00

wouldn't the price from the scanner i used and the price that the gun gets be the same...how would they get a price?

When it scans as $0, what they then check is the last-sold-at price. As I understand it (and this is partly speculation), when they think an item is out of stock, they zero it out, but sometimes, for whatever reason, there are one or two actually remaining in the store (perhaps returns, or just misplaced stock). The last-sold-at price will be that store's final clearance price (which may or may not be as low as another Target's final clearance price).

I haven't come up with a game that scans at 0.00. When I scanned them it displayed that the item could not be found. Then you have to go up to an employee who has a Price Gun, which will tell you what the last price the game was before it was taken out of the system. Good thing for those scanners too, otherwise we would be paying a lot more for those games.

P.S. I just picked up Arc The Lad for PS2 at the North Miami Target for $6.58. Good thing that I know the employee that works there. He was keeping it behind the counter and mentioned that he had it and let me buy it.

[bluenatas09]

At the target I usually go to get my clearanced games my friend who's employed there let me know that they were told to "no longer sell games that ring up as salvaged..." aka : 0.00. I asked her why and she said she wasn't entirely sure..but if thats true that'll really blow. She said she'd run the price gun over it anyway and the game that was originaly 7.48 ended up being 2.48 instead of the 0.00 price.

[dinovelvet]

Thousand Oaks, CA - picked up Gamecube Def Jam Vendetta for 9.98, only copy they had. I got excited when I saw a bunch of green cases in the clearance section but they turned out to all be 2K3 Xbox sports games priced at $15-$20. Pretty lame. I also had Fuzion Frenzy scanned but it came out at $20. So not much going on there, this week.

[bmulligan]

I've had the same problem with the 0.00 games and managers not allowing them to be sold. I was told they get donated to a charity organization. If they get 'donated' to a charity, Target gets to write off the entire cost of the product, which is much more than the 2.48 and 7.48 prices we've been getting so I can understand why they would rather not sell them at thet point.

[lurknomore]

bmulligan, if that's the case, what's the point of Target even selling it at Clearance prices....why wouldn't they simply donate them as soon as Clearance time comes around? I think that as often as they donate, that they simply smash them out back and get the insurance for the "salvage"

I think there's some law (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) where if a store puts an item on a shelf for sale and you want to buy it, they are obligated to sell to you. Even if it isn't a law, it's a cheap way for them to make a happy customer.

I can clarify this as I worked at Target for about 1 year.
Target doesn't donate clearance stuff. If you were to go around a target you would come across a lot of clearance stuff. The only stuff that goes back is the stuff that customers return due to a defect. I remember when I was working there a few customers returning PS2's back due to them being damaged. They just send it back to the dealer and get the full credit. Otherwise anyone can purchase them if its just a return. That's why they don't take returns on things that have been opened anymore. They just don't want to go through the hasstle of processing the damaged goods.

[bjschre]

Milwaukee, WI

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (GC) - 2.54
Unlimited Saga (PS2) - 6.54
Pirates of the Carribian (XB) - 20.98

[Darkstar]

WI Target- XIII-13.88-PC....

[kane1330]

anyone go to a target in the new york, new jersey long island area where theres some of the cheap games left?

[Teremei]

Incase noone has mentioned.

Target - Chicago burbs

Soul Calibur II (cube) - $26.99
Max Payne 2 (xbox) - $26.99

Not the cheapest, but great values if you ask me. They are mark downs not hidden scan deals.

[drfrielgood]

Those markdowns are for this week only. They were in the sale ad.

[cougartai]

Let me know when Karaoke Revolution hits the discount price. I'm still waiting for that one...

[equest943]

[divine_comedy]

I heard that you can get Champions of Norrath for 32.88 after you apply a 5 dollar coupon. Where can I get this coupon ? thanks

[Mr_hockey66]

Allrighty then some more clearnace games coming your way from Georgia! Oh yeah I have found out what games will soon be in the clearnce racks. My target marks a high but somewhat off of the price sticker on the games. On the sticker it will have a code on it 3 sets of numbers. Etc 207 56 608. This is the clearce code for it. This is the start of the clearence. Its a white sticker at first. After a week it gets the red sticker with same code and a price drop. Still above ten at this point. The next week same sticker but price drop 6-7. Next week price drop to 2-3. next week price drop to 0.00
. Were what I found at my target!

Gaineville Ga

x-box PHs Xuya? Wreckless 9.00
ps2 make payne 2 26.88
Ps2 Gh's Sly copper thevies racoones 13.XX
Ps2 GH Xeno Saga 13.xx
Ps2 Harry potter and the sorcerers stone (soon to be clearnce. Has stickers on it with clearence codes but not in effect yet)
(watch for these in the next few weeks to drop below ten. They have clearnce stickers on them but not the red ones yet. Whole bunch of both at gaineville Ga target)


Lawrenceville Target

Chaos Legion .98 still there last time I looked!

[Gojtron]

Um, hockey? That's just the item code. Everything has them in the store. Soda, patio sets, everything. Red means clearance, white means regular.

[Lord Hamm]

I am going to Target in Southern Arizona to see what deals are going on.... :roll:

[Mr_hockey66]

Um, hockey? That's just the item code. Everything has them in the store. Soda, patio sets, everything. Red means clearance, white means regular.


There is a difference though. If you find a game with a clearnce sticker on it's at the top of the clearence sticker. Before any major price drops it's a "white sticker" with the item code up top. Well yes I guess it is the items number. Anyways normal products don't have the iterm number on the stickers on the front. The clearence have a sticker on it with the code/item number at the top and on the front of the prouduct. Its kinda hard to explain with out looking at one. After it sits for a week? with this type sticker on it they make a major price cut on it and put the "red clearence" stickers to it. But to know whats coming up find the white stickered ones "with the code" to know that in a few weeks you may find it for lees then 10. I thought it might help. If not oh well. I know what I was trying to say at least. It helps me find the deals for the next week. :) If it don't help sorry.

[spek]

Ithaca- Kill.switch Xbox 29.99

I don't know if it's a week deal, price lowerage, or just clearance but it's a step towards the 19.99 price point that everyone wants it to be at.

[Vampyre]

I just scored the psone car adaptor for 4.98.

Found 2 with a 29.98 red sticker on it and then 4 more in the controller section with there normal $40 price tag. Went to scan it and it came up at 4.98. I was going to get one anyways next week as i have a road trip comming up in april.

They had a few clearence pc games but nothing of intrest to me.

Master of orion 3 was there but when scanned it came up with nothing.
hitman 2 (gc) 17.98
and the car adaptor for 4.98

At the Round rock texas target

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction - $9.98

They had a pretty good selection. This is just what I can remember. They are back in the electronics/toys section, not the media with the full price games.

[swetooth9]

why when i scanned my printed barcodes...some of them say that the item cannot be scanned...some of them do...but the prices are normal ones...over half of the game upcs i printed out could not be read by the scanners...

[Murcielago77]

you need to print them out as clearly as possible. Use the highest setting possible

[evilmax17]

If anyone's checking Target anytime soon, could you scan the Karaoke Revolution w/ microphone bundle? It's been out for quite awhile, and every target I've been to seems to have them.

[swetooth9]

i did print them out as clearly as possible...it's just that the scanner read some of the items and gave the item name and price...but for other games like amplitude and arc the lad...it didn't recognize them...

also for the ones that were scanned...they were normal prices :(

[TheRock88]

this may have been posted on another forum (I think) but I checked out the Hackensack NJ Target and they have DualShock 2 controllers (Slate Grey only) for $3.14 each. I bought a few, but there are still at least 5 left.

[GFX-Delta]

You guys are freaking lucky. I swear, my local Target literally has a small plastic bucket on their back shelves of games that has utterly crappy games in it...not even that cheap for a clearance area. A bunch of PC ABC Learning games or something...and like Elder Scrolls 3 for 9.99...not even that great of deals. Local Target = teh suxorz.

[The_Continental]

slate grey controllers still 24.99 here

[magilacudy]

[starman9000]

I bought two for Champions of Norrath (and then they will sit unused for years)

They still had about 7 left.

[baronofhell]

this is just in responce to a previous post about Target NOT Donating clearance products. Target does donate items that have gone last the %75 off price point. If its been on the shelve at %75 off more then a week or and returns that they can't sell are donated to local charites. I know this because I always find products with the target clearance stickers on them at my local goodwill. They even told me at goodwill that they get stuff from target once a week.

[E-Z-B]

Cherry Hill, NJ: Myst Trilogy $13.88;
Myst 10th Anniversary DVD Collection: $13.88
Both Box sets for the PC.

Anyone know which set is a better one to get? The Trilogy box is much heavier than the DVD anniversary collection. I assume there's a bigger instruction book with the trilogy set, but the DVD anniversary set might be updated. I know this is a very complicated game, and more instructions may help. Can anyone shed some light on this about which is the better set to get?

[TheDecn]

NFL Fever 2004 $14.98

Lucky SOB (no offense intended). Where was that (Norman, OK again?)? That is about $70 less on the PSOne/LCD combo than the one that was available at my Target.

[JibbaJabba]

no it was'nt the norman, ok location. The screen was at the East Reno & Midwest Blvd location in Midwest City, OK, ESPN Football was at the NW 50th & May Location in Okc, OK. (I get around)

The ESPN Football was scanning $0.00. The combo was a return but at that price I'm not complaing one bit.

I've never played it, but it has gotten good reviews (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/klonoaempireofdreams/). $15 is the price at all Targets, it is one of their value titles.

[ZForce915]

Without having to read through all of this, could someone give me the 411 on how the Target rain check thing works? I've never considered using it until today...

[chosen1s]

What is so freaking important in this thread that there are over 1,000 posts? No, I'm not reading through 55 pages of it to figure it out.

[dcfox]

Are these PSOne/LCD screen combos out on shelves or behind the glass case? I can't seem to find one at my target.

[zzl365]

What is so freaking important in this thread that there are over 1,000 posts? No, I'm not reading through 55 pages of it to figure it out.

Target clearance deals are YMMV (your mileage may vary) and because of this there are many reposts as certain items may or may not be available in some areas. Also there are usually (if not always) new clearance prices at a number of Targets each week.

[JibbaJabba]

Are these PSOne/LCD screen combos out on shelves or behind the glass case? I can't seem to find one at my target.

Both. It just depends on the store. If they are'nt in the case then they will be in the next isle next to the PSOne only systems.

You will receive a mighty punch right in the old coin purse.

Look forward to seeing you then.

If you are unavailable at this time please call so that we may reschedule.

Now if only I could find the PS2 controllers... *sigh*

[bmulligan]

Yeah, speaking of the PS2 controllers, I was at 3 targets today and none of the Dual Shock 2 clear grey controllers were on sale. They were regular price, 24.99 ea. Are these the ones supposedly on sale, or are they the PS1 Dual Shock (not DualShock 2) ?

[peteyrose]

Dual Shock 2s.

[organicow]

THis deal is definitely YMMV; apparently no one cane find this deal anywhere in the southeast, and most of the people who are getting them for $6.xx are on the west coast or north east.

BOOO!!!

[MICHAE2414]

Yep, YMMV for sure. I still have to check the Targets around me for that Slate Gray PS2 controller, I'm really in need of a second controller right now.

[pachi]

I think if they are in older packaing they are clearenced.

[mrjdh]

target is not so bad

[DigitalSpace]

At Jantzen Beach Super Center, Portland, OR:

In the Gamecube case, there was one copy of Hitman 2 at $12.48. That was it. Better than nothing, I guess.

I was there at 7:00 pm last night (3/17) and didn't buy it, so it might still be there if any Portland area CAGers want it. Btw, the PS2 version was not on clearance and still $19.99.

[rant]

Not a huge deal but my target had the Gamecube version of Splinter Cell for 12.48.

[soulyogurt]

Novato, CA Clearances, for those who care:

Mortal kombat deadly alliance gamecube 9.98
Ps1 auto adapter 9.98
Gba tiger woods pga golf tour 13.98
Neverwinter nights 14.98 10 or 15 copies
Enter the Matrix PC have twentydollar bills taped to the cover in a sly attempt to get somebody somewhere to accidently install the steaming
pile of fetid pig vomit.

Console clearances are on the endcap facing the photo lab.

[swetooth9]

if anyone wants to trade for any slate gray ps2 controllers, i might be able to get some and trade...im looking for these games:

1. amplitude (i've heard you can get this at target for like $6-7)
2. arc the lad (target for $6-7)

*i want these games b/c i couldn't find these deals at my local target...pm me if you want to talk*

[Murcielago77]

souly the matrix has fake or real 20 dollars on it. if real im goin there later

[silliemutafuka]

I would really like to know where do you guys find the games for $5.00 or less? At my target, all they have are the new games on the glass shelves and then the greatest/platinum hits/player choice section for each at around $19.99. Where on earth do you find those $5.00 ones!?

[tenzor]

i saw metal gear substance for xbox for 5.48 today at my local target in anaheim, ca

[scsg75]

Probably been mentioned before, but I didn't have time to look through 56 pages of posts.

Stuntman for PS2 is $4.98. Picked up one yesterday in Eugene OR.

[soulyogurt]

murcie, that was a joke. Sorry. I would be happy to go tape some fake 20's on them, though.

Again, another joke.

At the Target I go to, the clearence games are on the aisle with the controllers and accesories. They are mixed in with the Greatest Hits and Platnium games. Generally, they do not have clearence stickers. I take what I am interested in, go to a scanner and scan them, if they ring up $0.00, they are clearence and will ring up at the register for $4.98. Sometimes they have white price stickers, generally saying $29.99. These prices are generally right, though I did find a mess of games marked $29.99 scanning at $19.99. Just look through that section of games, any non greatest hits that you are interested in, take them to a scanner and see what they scan at.

[soulyogurt]

sillie... walk around the perimeter of the store, checking the endcaps facing away from the major aisles for collections of clearance items. At our Target, most are there. Sometimes, games are on a shelf in the vidgame section, but the deep discount items are often on an endcap. Our PC titles are usually in the PC section though. I don't understand the criteria for removing the Neverwinter Nights and leaving the Wolvies, Assburger Tycoons, and whatever else they had sitting to one side amongst the PC stuff.

[TheDecn]

A year-old sports title, but couldn't pass it up:

NBA Live 2003 (GCN), $4.98, Lennox Target, Columbus OH. 50+ copies remaining so plenty to go around. Clearance rack on the opposite side of the videogame isle.

[Murcielago77]

darn about the 20s(i would just buy and return anyways) but thx for the deals and reminding us(me) to check the endcaps. I used to check near the photo place but i forgot

[alongx]

I haven't found any good Target deals in way too long...last summer I managed to get Gungrave for $3.75 and Gunvalkyrie for $7.50. Everything else posted here, my shitty Target passes by, or so it seems.

[SolinariDotCom]

Man, someone's gotta hook me up with one of those PsOne/LCD combos.. Anyone want to do me a super favor? ;-)

[silliemutafuka]

Ohh I see, thanks for the info scsg75 & soulyogurt!

XBOX DROPPED TO $149 ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 31ST AT TARGET IN WESTERN KY WHERE I WORK

[Requiem]

^^^ So if I went to Target and asked for this Portable DVD player, it wil be available for $45? Why was it in the backstocked stockroom anyyways, and not on the floor?

[scsg75]

^^^ So if I went to Target and asked for this Portable DVD player, it wil be available for $45? Why was it in the backstocked stockroom anyyways, and not on the floor?

Probably not man, that sounds like an oversight on the price teams part. See, Target has a "price team" or at least this was the case about 3 years ago when I worked there. Among their many duties is to go around and specifically mark items that are clearenced and pull them from the backstock room. If an item is not scanned into the location in the stockroom correctly, then they probably didn't even know they were there, hence unable to pull them, mark them and put them out as clearence items.

[chosen1s]

What is so freaking important in this thread that there are over 1,000 posts? No, I'm not reading through 55 pages of it to figure it out.

I will be over your house today, around 3-ish?

You will receive a mighty punch right in the old coin purse.

Look forward to seeing you then.

If you are unavailable at this time please call so that we may reschedule.

Wow. Uh, violence therapy anyone?

[Darkstar]

I was at Target yesterday.... I only found XIII for 13 for PC... And a few other sucky games like Big Mutha Truckers for 6.88.

I checked for the PS1/LCD combo, and they didnt even have it, they had like 15 copies or Max Payne 2, so no rain check there, same with Halo.... They didnt have Futurama Vol.3 there, so i had to go to Wal Mart...Geez, normally we got a pretty good deal Target,but not yesterday...

Will anyone be able to pick me a PS1/LCD combo up? I can work out the details in a PM or something.

OR Could someone use there Max Payne 2 raincheck to get MGS:TTS for GC for 22 or so? I could make out details with anyone on that too...

[hohndog]

I was in Target last week and spotted one copy of IndyCar Series for XBox at $20.98. I went in today and scanned my barcode sheet and discovered it was lowered to $14.98. I went over to see if it was still there. It was. Well, the cover and instruction booklet were. Some freak-ass stole the damn disk. Ahh. So sad.

[Mr. Anderson]

I just went to the Target on Walzem in San Antonion (visting grandparents) and there is NOTHING. NADA. ZILCH. ZIP. The only thing worth mentioning is the universal Max Payne 2 lower to 26 bucks and TMNT (PC) for 13 bucks. Sad sad sad.

[greyzieoriental]

so is the port dvd player clearanced only where u work or will it be that price everywhere?

[Masterkyo]

Max Payne 2 (PS2) $25.XX at Walmart

[terribledeli]

Absolutely nothing this week. Infact, the clearance area near the photo area looked like a goddamn war zone. No Doubt CD cases on top of opened Black and White games. Broken children's books being smothered by a sea of cell phone cases.

[cegha]

plz inform me as i have been gone from this site since christmas (i had to buy other things) whats this PS1/LCD combo deal and tell me more about the DVD player

[jt2k3]

plz inform me as i have been gone from this site since christmas (i had to buy other things) whats this PS1/LCD combo deal and tell me more about the DVD player

PS1/LCD Combo Pack (Seafoam Green Box) - Retail $149.99, Clearance Price $37.48

As far as the DVD player, I havnt heard or seen anyone but the Target employees talk about it, so I think that was mega YMMV.

[Lord Hamm]

[Saurus]

Chicago burbs....

They vary by store. It may be the easiest to ask somebody in the game area.

[joeposh]

NJ East Hanover

Splinter Cell 14.99 (GC)

Think I snagged the last one but I might be wrong.. was mixed in with the players choice stuff.

[josh33_unc]

the dvd player was originally clearanced to $137 as i found about by searching the web. but apparently the ones at my store never got marked down, so they stayed in the back, with the numbers of the dvd player marked down, but never put on the actual product, so each time it got put in the system as marked down, the product never got touched. so thats y it became so low priced, and finally discovered, thank god.

[GizmoGC]

Where can I get this barcode sheet?

[drfrielgood]

Saw a few new clearances today, including:

I-Ninja (GCN) $20.98
MLB 2004 (PS2) $14.98
Final Four 2004 (PS2) $14.98
Silent Hill 3 (PS2) $14.98
Tony Hawk 4 (GCN) $9.98

And that's all I can remember. Also, a local Target had a couple slate gray controllers. The controllers had a regular white price sticker that read $6.24. When I scanned them, however, they came up as $24.99. They were in the current yellow packaging. Any reason for this discrepency?

[darkwingduck13]

Dude, go back and buy them if you want them. At Target, if the product is stickered at a certain price, the store policy is to give it to you at that price, regardless of what it scans at. I've literally seen people pick something up at the cash register off of a game sale rack(1080 Avalanche) that was sitting in a $14.99 spot. It had been stocked in the wrong place, and the manager told the cashier to give it to the guy for the $14.99 price.

[doraemonkerpal]

Where can I get this barcode sheet?

hi, if you read the original post, it gives you instructions on how to do it.

[cegha]

is there any coupon or anything i need to purchase the PS1/LCD combo for $37?? wow i would love to see a game somewhere like on a $14.99 shelf and actually buy it for that.

[JackSuper]

There is no coupon needed for the combo, but it will be marked at full price. The $37 price will come up when you scan it.

[cegha]

thnx i will grab one this weekend

[WSkywalker]

At my local Target in Charlotte, NC I found the follwing

Haunted Mansion-XBox 9.98
Hack-Outbreak-PS2 14.98
I-Ninja-GC-14.98
SSX Tricky-GC-4.98

[Demontooth]

Today in Louisville I saw:

[captainfrizo]

Which location in Charlotte did you go to WSkywalker?

[Ebraum]

Which location WSkywalker? I'm in Charlotte also.

[cruzincontrol]

:?: How can I take advantage of a raincheck if there is no sale/reduction for any games for this week's (3/21-3-27) ads for target?....I wanted to get Ninja Gaiden or another newer release cheap and didn't see any sales? Any alternatives, Please advise....

[Darkstar]

You cant do anything then. You have to wait untill they have a game on sale. Like for example when Max Payne was 26.88... I mean just getting rainchecks on things like KillZone at 24% off helps... I am gonna get MGS:TTS for 30 with that 24% off.. Not a great deal, but helps me save a few bucks... (My Target had a good 20 copies of the on sale MP2, and they had 3,4 Halos left, so I couldnt get the 46%)

[WSkywalker]

Well, these prices I saw at the one near UNCC. I havent checked the one on Albemarle road yet.

[wubb]

Fairfax VA

Indiana Jones and the Emporer's Tomb (Xbox) - $7.50

but I'm pretty sure I snagged the last copy. I think that's the first good clearance find I've made at that location.

[Raiden_MGS3]

Dark Cloud 2 for PS2 is now clearance at 20.98

[grandamchandler]

midway arcade classics (xbox) $9.98

Wilmington, DE

[DigitalSpace]

At the Mall 205 location in Portland, OR:

As of 3/23/2004:

PSX:
Soviet Strike GH $7.48
Harry Potter & the Chamber Of Secrets $13.98
(Plenty of copies of both games)

Playstation 2
Freekstyle GH $13.98
(There were about 8 copies)

Game Boy Advance
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 $13.98
(1 copy)

XBOX
World Series Baseball 2K3 $14.98
(Still quite a few copies... not too surprised about this though)

[c]

The first post in this thread says that if the clearance price ends in 8, it can still go down, but if it ends in 4, that's as low as it will go. Is that a reliable system with which to determine whether or not to wait for a game's clearance price to drop?

[YoshiFan1]

I think that's the old markdown system. Now even the final markdown price appears to end in an 8.

The easiest way to tell if a game will drop more is by seeing what the price is. If it's 75% off, chances are it won't go any lower. There are some exceptions like I once found Time Crisis 2 with the Guncon 2 for $7.50 when the original price was $59.99 but generally only holiday/seasonal merchandise goes past 75% off.

[badmrfrosty20]

Any deals in Tukwila, WA?

[c]

Thanks, YoshiFan.

Another question: If a game's only 25%-50% off, is it safe to wait for the price to drop a bit, or is there a chance that that's as low as it will go before they suddenly pull it from the shelves altogether? I know this varies case-to-case, but in general, is it safe?

Thank you very much for the assistance; sorry to dirty this thread with questions instead of cheapass deals...

[SteveMcQ]

If it's a game you really want and there's limited copies, I'd grab it up (or hide it). You might wait for it to drop lower, but someone might look at it and take it at that price point.

[The_Continental]

If you find a game at a good price point, go ahead and buy it... You can still go back later and buy it again at a lesser price point, and then return it with your old receipt.

[wubb]

I've seen my Target gather up every copy of a game to be clearanced at another Target. (According to the guy gathering them up.) So it's possible they will all be carted off to another Target before they are clearanced lower at your location.

[drsuper23]

I was able to take back the PS1/LCD combo that I bought for $74 and buy it back on the spot for the $37 price. The lady at the customer service area was very nice and didn't even ask questions. I believe that their policy is to put it back the next day and not sell it back but she did it anyway. YMMV type of thing.
P.S. Target in Aventura FL.
PS2
Dark Cloud 2 $14.98
Freedom Fighters $14.98

[ElwoodCuse]

I've seen my Target gather up every copy of a game to be clearanced at another Target. (According to the guy gathering them up.) So it's possible they will all be carted off to another Target before they are clearanced lower at your location.

It's possible. One Target around here has absolutely nothing, not even an empty shelf and the other about 20 minutes away has a clearance shelf plus all kinds of behind-the-case, secret-scan goodies.

[Qbe]

Target on 28th St. SE in Grand Rapids MI has the following for $14.98:
Silent Hill 3 (PS2)
.hack Outbreak (Part 3) (PS2)
Dark Cloud 2 (one copy left)

piles of Xbox and GC games.

[jkam]

Most of my Targets never had any of these good clearance deals. Found one a little out of the way that does clearance games. Picked up Silent Hill 3 today for $14.98.

[Indiana]

I guess this could explain why I can never find any deals on the West Side of Indy!

[Mr_hockey66]

Trust me if these deals are being posted here. Other sites are posting them too! You have to be quick! Or check everyday. I try to check about 3 times a week! I have gotten many deals. I just keep checking this thread and write down the games that people are finding and go look for them!
Alot of the time they still have them in the glass case. I just have them price check them for me and see what they ring up. If its cheap I get em before "the clearence" put clearence prices!

[suprsaiyanMAX]

I've only ever hit one of these deals for a game I wanted in all of Indy.

[drfrielgood]

I wonder if Midway Arcade Treasures is on clearance for every system, or just for X-Box? I'd really like the Gamecube version.

[c]

Thanks for all the help! You've collectively answered all my questions.

by the way: target in glendale hts, IL:
$5 each for Tony Hawk 1 and 2 (PS1)
$2.94-ish for Tomb Raider Chronicles (PC) (just thought that deal was funny)

[MANIMAL]

Still in need of a PS ONE w/ LCD screen bundle..have PAYPAL - help a fellow cheapass out wontcha?!

[Ebraum]

I-Ninja GCN $14.98 in Charlotte

[number6]

I've only ever hit one of these deals for a game I wanted in all of Indy.

Same here. It's gotten worse. I snagged Maestro for $3.89, Amplitude for $6.xx, but since those (+8 months ago) I've seen nothing decent. However, I did snag a $150 10GB ipod at the Target by 38th and 465 on the nw side a few weeks ago. Sweetness.

[SteveMcQ]

I didn't know Target actually sold iPods. I just thought it was just accessories. I go to that Target sometimes (across from Eagle Highlands), but they have, by far, the worst clearance section of any Targets in Indy.

[Freshwillis]

Target on 28th St. SE in Grand Rapids MI has the following for $14.98:

.hack Outbreak (Part 3) (PS2)




Sweet, I've been waiting for that one.

[doraemonkerpal]

i saw a ipod at the target in yorba linda, CA but when i did a price check, it was around $300!

[BlueWingX]

Target at the Scottsdale Pavillions in Scottsdale, AZ:
Freakstyle (PS2 GH) - $13.98 (At least, I think that's what the sticker said. I didn't pick it up)
.hack Outbreak (Part 3) - $20.98

Not as good as the $14.98 price someone mentioned, but since I got Pitfall: The Lost Expedition for $29.99 instead of $39.99 because they had the wrong label on the shelf, I'm not too dissappointed. :)

[thatstoobad]

as of today at the target in clinton twp., mi, on gratiot:

silent hill 3 - $14.98
max payne (xbox) - $9.98

there were probably about 5 copies of each left.

[number6]

I didn't know Target actually sold iPods. I just thought it was just accessories. I go to that Target sometimes (across from Eagle Highlands), but they have, by far, the worst clearance section of any Targets in Indy.

Yeah, it's kind of pointless right now as well with the renovations and what have you, particularly with electronics clearance. My wife has found some nice stuff there. We've had pretty bad luck with the Super-Target in Avon, except just after Christmas where we snagged some of those pre-wrapped things (not video games). Our best luck (excluding the iPod across from Eagle Highlands) was at the Target in Kokomo. Pretty great stuff there, if you're ever in that area.

[maxgle]

I offcially announce my local Target sucks! Never have anything you guys said that is for sale..

[Mr Peanut]

I have never seen anything good at the Vegas Targets.

[craven_fiend]

in all the times i've been to the kokomo target, i've never had any luck with anything. what have you found there number 6?

[swetooth9]

yea maxgle...mine doesn't have any of them...except the slate gray sony ps2 controller for 7 bucks...

[lurknomore]

For the past few weeks, my local Targets have been a bust in terms of finding any gems that were to be clearanced. Oh well. Is this the end of a fine era?

[dragonfireflys]

Clearance:
Xbox
Max Payne (greatest hits)-9.98
Celebrity Deathmatch- 9.98

Sale:
Prince of persia w/ splinter cell (39.99) while they last.

all is ymmv.

[Masterkyo]

My local Target have alot Prince of Persia bundle w/ Splenter Cell $40 :)

[ananag112]

Target has $10 off:

MK:DD
NBA Live 2004 (All systems)
Pokemon Colosseum
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Sonic Heroes (All systems)
MVP Baseball 2004 (All systems)
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing (All systems)

I think that is all. It is $10 off regular price.

[aTaRiFrEaK223]

I managed to get Freedom Force and Black and White for $2.48 each.

[drfrielgood]

Man, the Scottsdale Pavilions. I used to love that place. I lived in Fountain Hills from 92-96, when I was 8-12 years old. I used to love going there with my family. They had everything, Target, Best Buy, and this awesome arcade/outdoor center place called Outer Limits. Can anybody tell me if that place is still open? Hah, there was also a Discovery Zone there for awhile, but I'm sure that's probably long gone. I also seem to remember a movie theater, a Circuit City, a Toys R Us, a Sports Authority, a Wherehouse (pretty sure that closed), and an Old Navy. I could be wrong though. I really gotta go back and visit Arizona sometime.

[badmrfrosty20]

Some more at Tukwila, WA.

Megaman Networt Transmission- $7.48
Mace Griffin -$4.98
Hulk(GC)-$7.48
Activision Anthology-$9.99
PS2 Car Adapter-$9.98
Lords of Everquest-$19.98

Picked up Megaman, there's a copy left of each. There is also Klonoa (GBA) for $15.

[schultzed]

Target is extremely hit and miss. When you score it can be great. I picked up Blinx for $9.98 most recently (not a good game and not even that great of a deal). :?

You may find something but you have to check very often to get lucky.

[jetblac]

All you guys that live around the corner from Target make me sick.
I have to cross a bridge to get to a target. in both directions! $8 and $6

Outer Limits? Technically, it's not there anymore. It got bought out by Fiddlesticks, which is basically the same thing, but with laser tag. The Discovery Zone is now a Chuckie Cheese... The theater is still there. Warehouse is gone, but there's a Gamestop now. Old Navy is now a Petco. There have been some other minor changes, but it's mostly the same... Although, that food court are near the theater is almost dead. I think all that's left is Charlie's Steakery, and the god of all restaurants, YC's Mongolian BBQ. If only AZ weren't so damn hot already this year... :)

[Darkstar]

WI Target-
Nothing other than whats been there for 4 weeks now-
XIII-20.98 for PC(Not much of a deal)
Red Alert 2 Ex Pack-9.98(Not much of a deal at all)
Tribes 2-6.88

I went there to get MGS:TTS for GC at Target, they didnt have that in stock, wanted the PS1/LCD combo, they didnt have that, wanted Futurama Vol. 3, they dont have that(had to go to Walmart to get it), wanted to get Tiger Woods 2004 on PC for a friend, they didnt have that... And the costomer service sucks ass. They got these 16yr olds who dont no anything and dont help you... They always answer with simple yes or no answers... Not helping at all...
I hope you guys had some better finds that I did...

[argyle]

Went by my Target today and the only deal I found was a really odd one. They had one lone N64 cartridge, in a box that had been smushed. It was Mario Party 3 - scanned for $7.48, so I decided to grab it. No idea where it came from, I've never seen it there before. Oh well, being a Mario Party fan I figure it was a pretty good find. :)

[Uncle Fuz]

Silent Hill 3 for $14.96, I think, at the Target in Daly City, CA. Plenty left. I didn't have a chance to check out any other prices, though.

Smithfield, RI Target

[erniecars]

At my target in Pasadena, CA

Tony Hawk 4 (GC) 14.98
I-Ninja (GC) 20.98
SSX Tricky (GC) 6.98

I picked up SSX Tricky and I-Ninja. Somehow she scanned SSX tricky first and then I-Ninja but it just came up as 2xGAMECUBE VALUE so somehow I got them both for 6.98 but im sure I-Ninja should have rang up at 20.98 cuz I checked the UPC at a price check station. Other games they had in the bargain pile (behind the glass) were Mario sunshine, Defjam Vendetta, Hulk, and some 2k3 EB sports games, but I dont have prices on those.

NHL Hitz Pro (GC?) ~15.00 (not that great of a deal since I think it's 10 at some online site)

Don't remember the exact prices so 3.50 may be something like 3.28. Still a good deal though. Quite a few of each in stock.

X-Box games Star Wars Jedi Outcast and NCAA Football 2003 are now at 6.58

Weird-

I printed out a UPC symbol for Jedi Outcast and when I was shopping at Target I scanned it and it came up as "XBOX VALUE SOFT $7.48" so I had the clerk get me one out of the case, but the game itself scanned at $49.99.

This is the first time something like that has happened to me. The clerk scanned it a few times, too.

What happened is the game is in Target's comptuer system at that price, but the price change team has been slacking and haven't activated it yet. Sounds like they're really behind too, as that game was price cut to 29.99 a few months ago and then finally went 50 percent clearance last month

[drfrielgood]

Pick up one of the last two Altec-Lansing speaker sets at the Brighton, MI Target today. $19.99.

[bmulligan]

Darn you Drfeilgood! I never even saw those and I'm there every couple of days! aaaaarrrrghhh!

I can't find a Target near me that still has this game. :x

[drfrielgood]

[scsg75]

XBOX DROPPED TO $149 ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 31ST AT TARGET IN WESTERN KY WHERE I WORK

It dropped to $149 everywhere in the country on Tuesday dude. Kinda a well known fact. Not really a clearance item either.

[Excalibur]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (GCN) $4.98 at the North Druid Hills Greatland Target in Atlanta. I got the last two that I saw, but there might be more.

[Raiden_MGS3]

This is a YMMV one, but the Platinum Hits edition of NBA Street vol. 2 for the X-Box scanned for 4.98 at my Target.

[argyle]

Grabbed a couple of good deals tonight. The Hulk gc was $7.58, and Auto Modellista ps2 was $6.58. I grabbed the last copy of each (Montgomery, AL). Scanned Def Jam Vendetta ps2 and Splinter Cell gc while I was there, and they showed $19.99 and $12.48 respectively.

[bmulligan]

Dr. Frielgood works at the Brighton Best Buy ??

You've probably seen me a thousand times and never knew I was a fellow cheapass!

[drfrielgood]

Hah, yep, probably. I only work 10-20 hours a week though cause I've got school full-time.

[silliemutafuka]

Just found Hitman 2 (GCN Only) at Target for $6.24 tonight, good thing I didn't buy it last week when it was $12.24.

I got the last one, whoo! :P

[EggViper]

i have no idea how u guys keep getting these deals, ive been to two targets in my area and both have games at regular prices. are the prices mis marked or something? do i need to get employees to price check em? help?

[JibbaJabba]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always price check never go by what the tagged price says. If your Target has the new scanners you can then just write down the 9 digit item code(located under the name and price on the tag) and punch it into the scanner without having to hunt down a moronic employee that knows nothing about games or electronics for that matter.

Also check for a CLEARANCE section on one of the endcaps in the electronics section. Many Targets pile up the games being clearanced there. This is NOT the same as the Value Games section where they stick some of the cheaper (GH, PC, PH) but not clearanced games. I made the mistake of thinking my target had no deals but I thought the Value games section was the clearance section. And many times as already said, Targets are not on top of the pricing, so you have to get it scanned even if it says regular price.

[Smoke]

[THPS]

I never find any of the clearance deals at my Target. Does anyone here go to the Hanover or Fairfield Target stores in NJ?

[jmon22]

You don't need any. That is if your the same THPS that won twice on VideoGameDeals.com. Just kidding, congrats for winning twice. Hey just keep looking, and take a list with you, you will find some.

[THPS]

Yes I am the same THPS that won twice at VGD. ^_^ Anyway, it could be that I am just too late. Also, not all Target stores are going to have all the games listed. I understand that, I was just wondering if anyone else goes to those Target stores. Maybe they would have some tips as to where Target hides their clearance games.

[bhfgamer]

Aliens vs Predator Extinction (XBOX) was $6.48 @ Target in University Heights, OH. I also saw World Series Baseball 2K3 for $6.48. There also was a lot of clearance PC games (Tomb Raider 5- 5.04)

[doraemonkerpal]

This is a YMMV one, but the Platinum Hits edition of NBA Street vol. 2 for the X-Box scanned for 4.98 at my Target.

i just checked my local target (westminster, CA) and it scanned at $19.99 :(

[doraemonkerpal]

http://www.computersphere.net/images/frontpicaltec.jpg

[jalu6]

Midway arcade hits Xbox 9.99
SSX Tricky GC 4.98

[drsuper23]

Just picked up:

Midnight Club II (xbox) $7.48 only one
Medal of Honor Frontline (GC) $4.98 couple of copies.
They also had Alien vs. Predator (xbox) $7.48 and a bunch of other games in the $14.98-$20.98 range. Will go back to check and see if they're priced lower.
This was in the Aventura, FL. store.

[THPS]

You people are so lucky. I tried my Target today and Test Drive 5 was $20 instead of $3.XX and Medal of Honor was also $20. Oh well. I could just use a rain check on Medal of Honor and get it for $10. I have been wanting that game forever.

[doraemonkerpal]

i went to target to look through their clearance games and i found one (Iron Storm - PC) that wouldn't scan in any machine. i took it to the cashier and they couldn't scan it in there either. they told me to take it to customer service and they should be able to scan in a price for me. when i took it to cs, they scanned it and it was only $1.26! not bad for a first person/third person shooter that came out at the end of 2002 and got a 7.0 on gamespot.com.
