Stopped by my local sears tonight and got the last two wii points cards for 11.87 a piece. The guy told me that they are going to clearance out all of their game stuff in the next couple of months because they aren't going to sell games anymore. Not sure if that is just that location or nationwide.

Just going by the amount of stuff on ImperialPie's lists I would say that's not really too far fetched. I know some Sears stores already stopped selling games a while ago. But with the condition Sears Holding is in where they're doing more store closings and are back on the verge of disappearing completely again I wouldn't doubt that they want to eliminate all unprofitable stores and departments as quickly as possible.

The manager comes out and remembers me from August when I pricematched the Toysrus GH guitar bundles for a crazy discount. He asked if I was looking for a camera cuz he had some clearanced out back. It's the GE A1455 for FREAKIN $16.97! I got the 4 they had for me and my family. 14 megapixels, 5x optical zoom. Idk if it's only one color or all of them but they only had red. UPC is 810027015532. Let me organize that better: GE A1455 Digital Camera $16.97 (Red. not sure if all colors clearanced or not. My store only had red) 14 megapixels 5x optical zoom UPC 810027015532 Then while I was there and they wanted to help I asked about the PSP Go. They had three of those for $49.97! What a day! Sorry CAGers, these are all spoken for. If there are more at another Sears and I go I'll pick them up

I just wanted to update my adventure today. Went to two other Sears. No PSP Go Pearl Whites, sorry everyone, and that digital camera was nowhere to be found. Google shopping shows three other Sears that have them listed for $79.99 but are out of stock. No clue why my store had such a huge difference in price

Tried one store today near the outskirts of Boston. The guy vehemently denied that there was any stock at his location. I asked him if he could check the warehouse where I go for merchandise pickup. He chortled and said all his stock is out here. I gave him the number from my sears e-receipt for him to check stock. Again he said he had none... but punched in the number.

Sure enough, there were 2 in stock. He muttered something and then called one of the warehouse guys. They exchanged pleasantries and the guy asked if he had any psp go's in the warehouse. The guy on the other side replied almost immediately no... end of story, at that point he refused to help me any more. These guys sucked worse than the guys at the gallieria!! I just know that 6-9 months down the line, i'll see these psp's on the shelf somewhere marked on clearance.

I'm starting to believe this too. However we did just get PS Vita stuff and a few new games in the last month. My guess is that they will offer fewer games but continue to sell more systems.

Yeah I'm guessing maybe they will scale it back to AAA titles only. I've never actually seen another human being buy a game when I've been in there!

The only other people I've seen buying games in Sears(or even Kmart) were other CAG's or the very occasional soccer mom who was gonna buy stuff at full MSRP. Very rare to see anyone outside of the employees and the rare tv/appliance shopper in electronics in Sears.

The only time I see people buying games at Sears is during the holiday season or if a new popular game was just released and everyone else is sold out so some people go to Sears probably after checking Gamestop and other stores.

Didn't someone say the points cards in the plastic prisons were on clearance? When I took a 1600 points card to the register it rang up as $24.99 LoL!

No go on PSP Go (south St. Louis County mall) but I did get Motorstorm: Arctic Edge on PSP for $2.97 + tax.

Don't worry, I am not going to buy it since I already have a PSP 2000 and I don't need it, so its all yours. Just save a PS3 remote for me since I am holding out for a price drop on them, that is all I ask I wouldn't mind getting a Wii points card, but I have 1800 unspent points from the pepsi rockband promotion years ago, and I am holding out in the hopes that something actually good comes to the Wii marketplace.

I have never seen anyone else buying games in Sears either, I have taken family there to buy games and accessories as gifts since the games are sealed unlike gamestop and the accessories are at worst, MSRP, and stores like TRU and sometimes Gamestop charge more than MSRP for a lot of accessories. I have never seen anything priced more than MSRP at Sears.

I have however seen people buy TV's there, I have to say they are possibly the most incompetent people at selling TV's that I have ever seen, you are probably better off at Walmart. If you try to get a TV there trust me on this, it will be either out of stock, or they can't find it in the back or wherever they keep the TV's. I have been game shopping so many times and seen so many people have problems with just getting a TV out of Sears that I can't even begin to talk about how many times I have seen it. I don't think I have actually ever seen anyone successfully pay for and purchase a TV in Sears, but I have seen many people try (and yes I know I think you pick up your TV at the warehouse part so I wouldn't be able to see anyone walk out with a TV if I was just shopping electronics)! I have also seen many arguments about appliances, loud enough for half the store to hear. Overall, don't use Sears for the large stuff, and you should be OK.

Haha...when I mentioned seeing the Hannah psp's when everything went on clearance, that was the store I was talking about. The weird thing is that I don't remember seeing them there until this month. I wonder if they're clearing out the warehouse or something.

no PSPGos near me :( oh well, was worth a shot i suppose.

Wrong points card. It's the 2000 card in the blister pack

If anyone is looking to sell one of the white psp go's that they have could you send me a pm?

Looks like there is one in the Thousand Oak, CA Sears. A bit out of my way, so I thought I'd share for someone else to snag it.

In case you guys didn't know, Sears stores can do store transfers on items to a location closer to you.

Didn't know that. Based on some of the employee stories I've heard though, I'd expect a "We couldn't find any in stock" answer while the employee resells them on eBay. Regardless, I'll give it a shot.

Yeah it's probably huge ymmv on employees offering to help but worth a shot.

If clearance prices vary between the 2 stores I would think you'd pay the price of whatever it is at the store you have it transferred TO but I am not sure. I called some national sears center and the guy was really helpful.

Had to drop my car off at sears auto, so I needed a pick me up. I walked through the clearance section at my sears and got a good laugh at their 55-45$ clearance games
