Sept Update: Computer glitch is slowing markdowns - some games are marked up instead of marked down. Example: Feel the Magic should be tagged at $9, sept drop should make it $3, glitch is having it ring up $15. Glitch appears to be YMMV or just on certain games. Some games havent dropped at all. Glitch is on the corporate level - no info on when it will be fixed.

FAQ

Q: Why was this thread created?
A: Because there are multiple threads floating around, and its useful to consolidate. THis one will have the OP constantly updates so you don't have to go digging.

Q: Are these prices YMMV?
A: No, they shouldn't be. I currently have 10 K-Marts in my shopping radius, and they've all been consistent. At one time it was thought that they were YMMV, but I'm pretty sure it was instead employee incompetence at keeping prices updated.

EDIT: Some people are reporting prices that are YMMV, but I am hesitant to mark the deal as such. If you get a different price, it seems to be the exception to the rule, not a true YMMV where it is hit or miss. I'd say these prices are 90% accurate.

Q: An employee said the price was higher than what's on the list.
A: Get the game scanned at the register.

Q: The employee got that price gun and said it was higher than what's on the list.
A: GET THE GAME SCANNED AT THE REGISTER. The gun is incorrect sometimes.

Q: Can I use the price checker thingies?
A: YES! Brilliant idea! They will give you an accurate price. Also, if you have the problem of useless employees not opening the cases for you, you can print off the UPC codes and check them at the price checker.

Q: How can I help?
A: Multiple ways:
- Get a job at K-Mart so we have an inside man
- Post the prices of the games you get
- Write down the prices of games you do not get, then post those too

Q: When are items marked down?
A: Once a month, near the middle of the month.

Q: Does this have anything to do with the weekend 50% off sales K-Mart usually runs?
A: No. While some of these games used to be on the list, this is completely seperate. None of these games are on the 50% list anymore and will not be reduced during these sales.

Q: What if I bought a game at a higher price and it gets reduced? Can I get a price adjustment or a return/rebuy?
A: Chances are VERY SLIM. K-Mart does not do price adjustments on clearance items. A return/rebuy might be possible, but most Kmarts do not employee people with the mental capacity to fully understand this concept.

Q:Can I price check the games without getting into the cases?
A: Yes, thanks to this UPC document from TimTucker. You can scan these at self scanners located in most K-Marts, but note that sometimes prices may not be accurate
http://www.timtucker.com/games/kmart_upcs.doc


Q: What if the price is higher than what's on the list?
A: Then your store has not done markdowns left. Ask them if they have any pending PCLs and perhaps they can do it for you, or just wait it out. Also, you could try a return/rebuy if you have another local store that did the drops. Use the UPC sheet to check this

Q: What if a price doesn't come up? It says "Check shelf tag for pricing".
A: This means that the game was at 90% off, and for some reason it was scheduled to be marked down further. If you have a cool employee, you can get games for cheap. If you have a game with outdated tags, you could be in for a hassle. This is similiar when Target marks things down for salvage.

Q: Are these markdowns YMMV?
A: NO. These are universal nationwide prices. If you arent getting them, its your stores problem and doesnt indicate a larger problem as a whole.

Q: How are things marked down?
A: AFAIK, it can be done manually via gun, or it can be done en masse at the register. If you want further details, we are currently looking for a CAG to take one for the team and get a job at K-Mart to infiltrate and learn their secret methods.

Q: What games will drop further?
A: As a GENERAL RULE, games at 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00 are at 90% off AND WILL NOT DROP FURTHER. Games ending in .99 will drop 2 bucks at a time in random intervals.

Q: What do I do with all these games?
A: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95481

THE OLD GAME LIST - All Games on this list are NOW YMMV. These prices are the lowest reported prices, but many are out of the system and will now depend on the employee you get, the tag on the game and your own negotiating skills:

**SPECIAL NOTE** - All games at a certain price point seem to drop across the board. So if say one game dropped from $8 to $5, all other $8 games also dropped to $5. I believe this is due to percentages, I will discuss this in the theories section later. Here are some examples for this month:

OK 3rd stop at a Kmart and I finally got some...:)

Spider Man 2 DS = $2 tagged @ 19.99
Ridge Racer DS = $2 tagged @ 29.99
Feel the Magic DS = $3 tagged @ 29.99

Metroid Pinball was $24.99 so I passed. Got all that I wanted. Thanks for the great deals guys.
 
I had some good pickups yesterday:

Gamecube
-------------------
Metroid Prime $2

Star Wars KOTR $4
Mech Assault 2 $2
Soul Calibur 2 $2
LOTR: Return of the King $2
007 Everything of Nothing $2
Silent Hill 2 $1 (Last one and I have no idea why it was only a dollar)

Might hit another one later today.
 
Finally made it over to Big K yesterday and here's all the yellow tagged games I found:

GC
Mario Golf Toadstool $8

When the Clancy 3Pack rang up, it was really $4!!
Now I'm thinking of going back and scooping up the others to see if they are cheaper than marked. Is Advent Rising or Rogue Agent any good?

Thx.

[/QUOTE]

The future is here. And cheap. It's only a matter of time until I get me a Lucy Liu Bot :)
 
So, I went back to a Kmart where I saw Mario Tennis for $15 not too long ago, and now it is supposedly $5 and what not, but some bad vibe merchant had infiltrated my kmart and bought all the copies of the game. F8cker.
 
Apparently the other K-Mart nearest to me is very well organized. Almost all older games on clearance were marked with the correct price.. and they didn't have that many.

I did find two Taiko Drum Masters for $15, though. One may be for trade, but I'm holding onto it for now.
 
X-Box

Pac Man World 2 $2
Soul Caliber II $2
Advent Rising $5

Game Cube

Super Monkey Ball 2 $2

Should have taken a list. I only checked the ones I new for sure, and now after looking at the list I missed a few good ones.

thanks for the updated list!!:bouncy:

Damn you all! lol I wish my Kmarts near me still had these. Then again, I think I'll need to ask if they can open up the case and let me look thru the games just tossed in the all the way in the back. I know I'd love the Fullmetal Alchemist one though. Been wanting either one for a while now
 
Seems I hit the glitch at 2 of the Kmarts today. Tried Donkey Konga at both to test and they came back $25. Oh well. The 3rd had a few things left, but I missed out on some good stuff.

Picked up:

Advent Rising $5
EyeToy $6

Had a similar experience today, but was able to get the new prices by asking them to scan w/ one of the guns to see if there were any pending price changes.

(Although I did miss out on Taiko Drum Master because the lock was broken on the case at one store I went to)
 
Picked up today at the Forest Fair Location (Cincinnati)

Mercenaries (xbox) $3 (last one)
Urbz (xbox) $2 (ditto)
NFL Street 2 (xbox) 2 copies left
Pac Man World 2(PH) $4 (last one)
EyeToy w/ Antigrav $5 one left
 
Store 1: (I have had major luck there in the past)
LOTR ROTK (hidden away but outside the case)
that's it

Store 2: (never had luck before, all inside the case)
Advent Rising (even though I gave it a 0/10 in my newspaper, $5 just for the soundtrack is worth it.)
Sonic Advance 3

Feel the Magic rung up at $15.
They had a Time Crisis:CZ and I didn't know it was in the sale. need to go back.

So there could be a price difference between the hand gun and the do it yourself scanner????
 
[quote name='wampa8jedi']Picked up

Taiko Drum Master $5
[/QUOTE]

Wait, that's a typo, right? You meant $15?

If it's actually only $5, then what's the best way to go about getting a refund for the extra $10 I spent?
 
Grr second store that had Tom clancy trilogy for $20. Everything was correctly ringing up as $2 though. Found a FF:X from last clearance and the cashier tried calling around for 5 mins trying to get someone to come over and get an old price(since luckily there was no sticker on it for him to say its 19.99). Eventually he gave up and gave it to me for $2.

I always just return/rebuy it. They are supposed to price match within 14 days i believe, but they'll say it doesn't include clearance. But there's nothing to stop you from returning it. And there's no reason for them to not let you rebuy it, since they don't want to keep it - unless for spite.

When do you rebuy the games? Right there on the spot when you return it, or after they reshelf it? I'd love to do that, but I'd probably get a wierd look, ya know?

Explain to them it has a price drop and they don't do a price guarentee so this is the only way you can get your money back. I'm sure they will understand since they would most liekly do the same thing.
 
Went into my local Kmart and came out with:

Donkey Konga -$5
Tiger Woods Golf -$3
Ridge Racer DS -$2

They had about 4 copies of metroid prime pinball but they were still at 24... ugh. Stupid glitch, hopefully the glitch will be gone by next week.
 
[quote name='defmonkey05']Went into my local Kmart and came out with:

Donkey Konga -$5
Tiger Woods Gold -$3
Ridge Racer DS -$3

I thought Ridge Racer DS was suppose to be $2
 
This 'glitch' is also causing some games to appear as Not On File, so be careful if you've got your eye on a NOF game. It'll cause drama if the store didn't price it.

-Darkwatch
-Rainbow Six Lockdown
-Simpsons Road Rage

And like three or four others. Mostly Xbox.

I can definetly confirm a whole ton went to 90% off last week, like Mercenaries, NFL 2k5, that $9.99 Poker game, Metroid Prime...

I received the PLC list last week, and my store activated it immediately. Any decent store should have the same updates going now.

Also, Resident Evil Code Veronica X (PS2) got pennied out.
 
Damn, I really should have checked this thread again before I went out - I missed several things.

Is Donkey Konga part of the glitch? Because I had them pull one out (it was marked $35) and he said it scanned $25. It was definitely the first (original) Donkey Konga w/drums. I managed to get Simpsons Road Rage for $2 and Getaway Black Monday for $3, and my Ridge Racer DS UPC scanned at $2, so the rest of the list seemed consistent with what everyone else has seen. Has anyone else had Donkey Konga not ring up at $5?

And also GC Dragon Ball Z Budokai came up $19.99 instead of $3 ?? Maybe they just didn't update the GC stuff for some reason. All the others that did ring up right were Xbox and one Guncon ($6).

Edit - OK, looked back and saw that Donkey Konga at $25 is common. I will just have to check back there in a week or so and see if it is down to $5...
 
I really wish the list on the main page were updated with all the current prices, as this fishing through pages of the thread to find new prices is horrid.

However, I scored at my local Kmart the other night(Moosic, PA)

Taiko DrumMaster(ONLY one that was there, wedged between some PSP movies and 360 games) $5
Goldeneye Rogue Agent(PS2) $4

I'll be redoing this thread so it will be cleaner. I've already asked Mighty Slacker for his approval and he's cool with it. Since I was the Original OP for the Kmart clearance in the first place, I'll be resurrecting my original thread about it. The new(old) Thread will be complete with UPC's just as I've been posting the lists in this one. All I ask is, if someone gets a game that's not on the list that they post the 12 digit UPC # along with the game title & price. I'm going to try and start it tomorrow.:cool:
 
If slade is staRting tomorrow, tonight Ill do final OP update so he doesn't have to do so much work adding stuff and changing prices

Also, I got some more prices:

Ace Combat 4 - $2
Tiger Woods DS - $3
Getaway Black Monday - $3
Feel the Magic was ringing up $15
THUG 2 was ringing up $10 (should be $2)
Nascar 2005 Xbox - $3

[/quote]

nice. color me jealous. none of the Kmarts around here ever have anything good.
 
you guys are lucky. My kmart doesn't have any Xbox, Playstation 2 or GBA games. Its all Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PSP (barely) and DS Lite.

I'm sure this has been posted but DDR Revolution Universe 3 and DDR Revolution Universe w/dance pads are still 5 and 6 dollars repectivley. Just picked them up last week.
 
Guess I should have paid a little more attention when reading the thread. I was going through and couldn't figure out why I hadn't read any of the past 10 or so pages... guess it helps to pay attention to the year :D
 
WHAT??? I was looking at the posts at the top and seeing all these last gen finds that hit those prices a couple years ago and then was really confused when I saw the dates of these posts. Funny that the title names September drops. Funny is over, I bet a mod will lock this soon!
