I saw these in Parma, OH and Fairlawn, OH at the same price.

I doubt they will drop any lower since this is 75% off and I haven't seen target stuff go 90% off in about a year.

Bikes clearance out at the end of the season usually...which would be fall/winter but as late as early spring...they have to make room for the new models that come out in early spring. Same with most other sporting goods.

Watch for sales throughout the summer though.

If you want a really good deal on a bike, start going to garage sales...I see like new bikes that originally retailed for $200+ for around $10-20 at garage sales all the time. Like most exercise/recreation equipment, people buy them with good intentions, never use them, then sell them because they need the space in their garage.

Thanks for the info Rictor and phear3d. I didn't know when the new models came out.

I'll do that.

That's a great suggestion.

Unfortunately, most of where I live is new developments and sub-divisions (arggghhh!!) and the only stuff I find at garage & church sales are baby clothes and toys and maternity wear. Some stuff from elementary age kids, but that's about it. ...it's depressing actually. I go once in a very great while, and wind up feeling I'm the only single person and/or kid-free person within a 50 mile radius.

I should really check my local Target, since they almost always have some of the clearance items, though I only still want that damned 'tourist book' from the San Andreas PC version. I don't even want the game, since I have it for both Xbox and PS2 already.

I take it there's no new clearance news this week? I would go out and scope out the scene myself, but the weather's too hot and humid for me to put in the effort.

I just checked a Super Target in Kissimmee, FL this morning and didn't see anything gaming related.

In other departments, the summer seasonal stuff was 75% and extremely picked over. Some Eddie Bower camping accessories that I hadn't noticed before. There was a bunch of sauces/soups/marinades in the food section. That about sums it up for this particular store.

Hey all - I went around to see if I could find another copy of DOAX2 at other Targets in the area for you guys, but it was $30 behind glass as you guys have reported. I guess it just goes to show that these clearances are really store dependent some times.

Good deal hunting everyone

Legos! Nice!

Bellevue, WA Target has one DOAX2 for $15 and two copies of TMNT PC for $7.48 and that's all for games.

Every time I've checked a Target in the past few weeks, there's either been minimal clearance (one or two tycoon games for the PC) or nothing at all.

Gentlemen, I think we've hit a dry spell.

I noticed something today - all previous clearance, no matter what discount, was removed from my store. The endcaps were bare but appeared to be waiting for product. I don't think it was for clearance; I think there is a large influx of product at the start of the summer. If memory serves, they start to clear that out around August.

Same here on the east coast. Kind of a dead time for retail before the fall shopping season heats up.

What's in that "Tourist Book"? Is it like an enhanced instruction manual? I always enjoy the artwork of the GTA world, but their manuals have been pretty skimpy in the past.

I'm no gentlman, but I have to agree. The Targets near to me are still wanting $39+ on games most of y'all have found clearanced out months ago. I enter the ASI number with all good hopes and... no joy. blah.

Yup. I'm even seeing gardening supplies/outdoor stuff starting to be marked down. I guess they're beginning to make room for Back To School, but currently they have no BTS product to put on their shelves. *shrugs*

I'd be psyched about gettng new stuff for my gardens, but with the drought we have I can only water twice a week as it is... I'm not about to start planting new stuff when I can't water them enough for them to establish. Fiddle faddle.

I believe so, as it also lists 'ads' for many of the businesses you run into in the world of San Andreas at some point or another. You know, the Cluckin Bells and such where you can have your character eat later on in the game.

I almost talked someone from an EB into letting me have the book, if they didn't find a disc only version of the PC game sitting in their drawer.

It is a very nice book, to say the least, which is why I so desperately wanted to find the PC version of SA from this clearance for $5.

Those little hand-held Game Gear clones had finally gone on clearance at my local target, the same ones that were $20 on Amazon for a bit.

Dropped from $50 to $35 which is still a bit pricey for me, but they had plenty so I shall await further drops.

its time to check out the nearest Goodwill within the next 2 or 3 days.. ymmv though cause Goodwill sometimes will even jack the prices on the stuff they get from target.

I went to my Target today and not only did they not have a clearance area anymore they also had barely any PS2,Xbox,PsP,or Gamecube games ??????

These were all 50% off in the Livonia, MI Target today on Haggerty Rd.
