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
