Sorry, you missed my cutoff date of May 7th. :-D It was getting time consuming-- although I could have searched for each item to get more detailed info from more posts. Thanks again to everyone, updated the op with a little bit more info.

I just did an in-thread search for "Sennheiser." Seems like only 3 or so of us actually found them on clearance.

To lessen your workload, I wouldn't bother listing the >1-month old clearance stuff. I think it'd be hard to find a lot of the older VIII items in-store by now, like those PMX200. Some newcomers to the Target Clearance Thread might think the older things listed are current clearances with the way you have the "added [date]."

No complaints though, OP, as I think you're taking on a big responsibility. Just a suggestion so that you're not constantly needing to sift through old VIII posts. One does need time for gaming.

No, I agree with you. Clearance at Target has a tendency to disappear entirely whether it to be customers or to Goodwill. When I decide to make the list, I was at work. So I thought out of boredom I'd go all out. I simply posted anything posted from May 7th-present. It was honestly just a filler list because game wise, clearance seems to be dead other than PC stuff. That and the forementioned boredom.

I don't mean to ruffle any feathers but shouldn't we stop talking about the non-gaming related deals at Target? Already, we have a few posts about headphones and Legos while all the other ones have random posts about DVD players and phones and whatnot. I just think it'll help just a little bit in the way these Target threads always blow up.

Has anyone seen any XBL renewal cards clearanced lately? Or, the camera set with XBL card?

Since it doesn't make a lot of sense to start a clearance thread for a few items in a forum no one really visits, I don't see a problem listing stuff like printers and headphones, since it helps out people who may happen to be interested in those as well.

This is more of a general thread for Target clearance, placed in the games forum since games are the main focus, but people have always brought up other interesting finds they found at Target that are great deals, and it would suck if they stopped now.

The mods don't have a problem with it, either, or else Shrike would have stepped in a long time ago... the thread is never dominated by these non game clearance items, it's just mentioned and talked about briefly.

OK, well, I was just wondering because in one of the threads in the DVD forum, some guy asked us to stop talking about details of some of the DVDs that were on sale, even though it might've helped some people decide whether or not they wanted to purchase the DVDs. And also, there is a separate forum on other deals. I don't think I'll ever get how this place works.

Most likely the store you visited had just gone through inventory. Those stickers mean the game rang up as "no longer in the system" during inventory. At that point, the store has to make up a price and generic DPCI (specific item number) to get that counted in the inventory. It says "AS IS" becuase they use the came stickers for display units they are trying to get rid of that are no longer going to be used.

Short version, yes major YMMV.

We probably should be on the look out for these this month. The back of those cards say they expire June 2007. The question is will Microsoft actually care...

Port Charlotte, FL:

Warcraft III: Frozen Throne - $4.98

I walked up and down the aisles looking for a few of these games in Marlboro, MA and Leominster, MA and found none left already. bummer..

Thank you Target Clearance Thread, for helping me find cheap PC games at crazy discounts.

Oh yeah, and also helping me to resist Gothic 3 for 4.99, because it's a buggy mess (the blokes over at Penny-Arcade forums helped too).

That's because he's an asshole and/or an idiot. We, however, are not.

Generally, the rules about what goes where have a lot of room for flexibility as long as you're remotely close. The guy who reposted one small DVD sale in the gaming forum, for instance, got complaints because "DVD Deals" is pretty self explanatory. Ditto for people who spam the site with trade lists when we've got an area set aside for that. Just don't do things like that - things that would be obvious if you took a minute to look at the board names when you signed up - and you'll be fine.

Got the last Gothic 3 for 10 bucks, Chromehounds is still 21.99 or so here on clearance sadly, ill nab it if its 13 or less.

You forgot about the shmucks who CAG with those 'do 3 offers get a free prize' things when they're such a new member it can't help but be an ad for a site they probably personally own.

uh, whoa. I've seen old Xbox live 12 month cards all over the place at Target. gonna go snag some tomorrow

Batman Lego's? What was MSRP?

Hey, don't know if this is off topic, I hope it isn't...

I'm new to the Charlotte, NC area and I was wondering if there are any good targets around here? I went to the one near...Matthew (sP?) I think it was or something...can anyone recommend any good ones that maybe have better clearances than others? I'm willing to drive a bit if that makes any difference...
