Original Target Clearance Thread

Since the Target deals are usually of the "your mileage may vary" type, let's keep all the target clearance deals in this thread.

Here is a fairly easy way to check if your local Target has the games on clearance without making the store clerk unlock the display case and price-scan a bunch of games. Very often, games may be on sale, but will not be marked as such.

BigDirty came up with this nice time saver. Respect his cheap ass skills.

1) Check this thread for games that have been reported on clearance.

2) Go to www.half.com, http://bits.com/ or similar website and search for the game to locate its UPC code number. Its in the grey box underneath the box art graphic.

3) Go to http://upcdata.info/ , www.milk.com/barcode/ , or www.upcdatabase.com and enter the code so you can print out the UPC.

4) Go to Target and use the price scanners to scan your printouts and search for cheap ass deals!

FYI: "When a game's price ends with 8 cents, further reduction is possible, when it ends in 4 cents, that's the ball game, pick it up cause it's not going any lower. If it ends in 9 cents, it's just on sale or on a non-clearance reduction." - BigDirty

Games that do not sell after being discounted are often donated to local Goodwills for sale at their retail stores, so check there when the clearance items dissappear.

This thread is for Clearance deals, not sale items or raincheck "scams"
Please Post City, State and Store (If City has many stores), game, system and price

Keep extraneous discussion to a minimum, as posts not pretating to clearance deals may be deleted by the mod crew.

As always-- YMMV

Example:

Philadelphia, PA Snyder Plaza
BigDirty's Wild Ride, XBox, $4.98

That was my thought as well.
I already have a R200 which will go to my kids.

If my wife decides not to use either for gifts, I got a cheap set of original carts.

These were found at the Target in Batavia, IL. I got the last ones, one being opened but complete.

I vaguely remember seeing one in the Elgin, IL store on Randall Rd. last week.

went by target. i got timesplitters future perfect for 4.98

when i went to scan it. it said not on file. went to cashier, scanned it with hand held scanner thats how i got the price

The 256MB SD cards that are branded for the Video Now camera (but are universal) are $4.98.

Pickd up another XBL Kit, 360 Component Cables, GBA Micro Case, and the Pod Coffee maker today. Nice finds

I hate you .

My 3 Targets were picked clean .

Picked up Meteos (NDS) for $7.50. It would not scan so they had to do a price check.

I got X360 component cables for 9.98, thanks.

I picked up a Philips 23" HDTV LCD tv at Target yesterday for 315 bucks. It was originally 900 so I'm pretty pleased. Also picked up some sony liv electronics for cheap....loving my 30 dollar CD Shower radio!

agapens, was that TV on clearance, a display model or what? I know these things are sometimes YMMV but ... I need to find a new tv on the cheap soon. Thanks for the info.

In regards to finding a good deal on clearance, I went on Saturday the 29th and didn't see much of anything. They did have a bunch of Rayovac 8 pack AA batteries for $1.98 down from $3.99 though.. Not the best of days at Target but oh well. Just so I can get this right, Mondays are usually the days that clearance is either reduced more or items are put on clearance right?

there are a couple of those at my store too 23" magnavox lcd tv

saw some XBL kits for 17.98 gonna pick them up tommorrow

and another thing i saw was a four pack of games for 7.98 3 of them were crap but it had the EA collection which has 5 games (NFS: HP 2, LOTR:ROTK, James Bond: Nightfire, Red Alert 2, and something else) so thats 8 games for 8 dollars

The 315 was a display model. Pretty much in pristine condition. They also had two more that hadn't been taken out of the box but they were 430 or so. The only thing I had to buy were some 98 cent screws to attach the tv to its base.
