Changing this to a FAQs for those that need some help getting these deals.


When I order online it shows X price for in store, but changes to Y price at checkout, what gives?
You can only do in store pickup for the clearance price if the item is available for pick up that day. If it isn't the price will be the online price instead. Sometimes the item will be shipped to that store if it is no longer at that store. It may adjust to the clearance price at pickup but it could also charge you full price for it.

Can I buy the item at one store and return / rebuy at another?
Yes but it is up to the stores discretion to allow you to get it for that stores in store price. If it is an online order, they are supposed to return it to the warehouse it came from so you will not be able to buy it back. It's YMMV on employees following this rule though.

Can I price match a Walmart clearance item at X store?
No. No store, including Walmart, PMs clearance prices. YMMV on getting PMs for these items but it is against every stores policy to do so.

I want to price match this clearance item at another Walmart, will they allow me to?
No WM (or any retailer) PMs the prices of other local stores.

BS said X of an item is in stock, but the employee said it isn't at my store, why did they lie to me?
They didn't. Sometimes items are misplaced, stolen, or the count is off. Employees are not all over the massive stock room nor do they know where every item is. Don't harass an employee or come on here saying they are keeping it for themselves. Sometimes, an item truly isn't in the store.

Why is BS always wrong?
BS is not wrong. Their information is directly from WM systems. Just like all stores, inventory and prices may be wrong for a certain store. Do not rely only on BS.

How do I find clearance items?
Go to the store and scan items, check SD, check this thread. Actually look for something you want.

Where in the store are clearance games located?

Clearance items in general can be on shelves, in dedicated clearance sections or in the stock room. For games specifically, they will be in the videogame glass cases, videogame value game isle or dedicated clearance section. It's random and depends on that stores layout / management.

What is the SKU or item number of this item?
Look it up yourself. There is a search function on this site, on BS site and you can Google the item almost 100% of the time. No one needs to spoon feed you this information and we shouldn't have 20 people asking for the same information that was already posted.


Acronyms to know.
WM = Walmart
PM = Price Match
TRU = Toysrus
BS = Brickseek
SD = Slickdeals

Wild.  The only ways to just get a game from Walmart at their internally displayed price are 1. Steal it, or 2. Buy something else xxx rated so the system knows your an adult and not to mess around with you.

The Walmart I hit tonight had tons of clearance, of varying quality, for PS4, 5, Xbox and Switch.

Some notable Switch ones were Witcher for 40, MUA3 for 40, Bravely Default 2 for 30, Subnautica pack for 30, DC Super hero girls for 30, Destroy All Humans for 15, Jackbox 7 for 20, FE 3 Houses for 40, Immortals for 20, Cris Tales for 20, Mario Tennis Aces for 40, Clubhouse Games for 25, Doom Slayers Edition for 30. Not the greatest clearance prices, but perhaps they'll drop more or other places will follow suit.

Saw PS5 AC Valhalla, FF7, FIFA2k21; PS4 FF7, Doom, AC Valhalla; didn't pay attention to Xbox.

Deku Deals just alerted me that FF7 Remake Intergrade for PS5 is back down to $20, but it didn't show that for me on the website. Maybe it's regional or something to keep an eye on

On Walmart.com, not in-store. Wasn't sure where to post this.

EDIT: Just checked Wario's Twitter and it looks like I got the alert 20 minutes too late :/

I usually have pretty bad luck finding clearance games I want at Walmart but yesterday evening was able to find Assassin's Creed Valhalla (PS5) & Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition (Nintendo Switch) for $7 and $20 respectively.

Went to another Walmart B&M on my home that showed the Nioh Collection (PS5) in-stock but couldn't find copies anywhere.

PS5 version of HFW was $69 at a local store that had copies in stock. I just beat HZD so I'm going to wait on this one until the price dips as I've heard the game is good but "more of the same" 

On the deals front I hunted a few local stores in my travels that are outside the normal 2-3 store I hit semi often. Both stores had big yellow stickers identifying any marked down games, and everything else was full price. Were some "ok-ish" deals in the 30-ish range, but nothing spectacular. Was tempted by a copy of Doom Eternal PS4 for 10$ and Mario Party for switch for 28$ but decided to skip them. If its something I really want 20-25$ is the start of "yeah scoop it up" price, where 10$ or less is the "buy it even if you don't really want it" price. 

Edit: For reference my backlog is a bit crazy, and I don't foresee myself having a lot of time to play Mario party with buddies, so I skipped out on it. I know it was a good price

Yeah, the good old days. I visited about 11 walmarts over a weeks time. Timing was perfect as I was on a road trip so it was easy to hop off/on highways. 
You also didn't have to compete with scalpers with smartphones back then. Even to this day I buy one copy for myself and leave the rest for other fellow gamers.

This road trip was only a few months ago. What helped me score greatly was one store manager pulled all of the clearance games from the last round of drops and refused to sell them to any known scammers/flippers. They let me buy basically one of every copy in stock which were hidden in their back room.

I'll buy copies for buddies, but yeah I would never buy more than 2-3 copies of the same game at a clip. One for myself, one for a friend or two, and MAYBE something to trade to GS if friends don't want it. I don't necessarily have a problem with flippers, but greedy ones who snap up everything in a 20 mile radius irk me. 

I'm pumped my one local store keeps games in the cages if they don't have space for them. Increased chance of my getting em when they hit those sweet

Marked as those prices or you scanned them?
 
I lucked out and found a lone copy of Zelda Skyward Sword HD for $8 at the Knightdale, NC store. They had a handful of $4 games like Borderlands 3, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and MLB 2K21 for Xbox. First time I've gotten lucky with any clearance stuff at that store in a long time.

 
The only thing I ever hoarded was when Walmart had copies of Destiny 2 for $2-3. Each one came with a free month of PS Plus, so I bought all seven copies at the store, but I only got to use like three of them before Sony changed it so you can only use one of those codes per account. (I still have a few of them but they're of no use to me.)

Happen to have the SKU? I tried 530817837 which is the SKU on the listing from Walmart.com but it's not turning up anything around me even though I know a few stores should have copies.

I left two more $8 copies there on Saturday morning. You're welcome for not being a hoarding/flipping asshole.

Not that guy, but that's the normal SKU that i've used to find it before. It's probably just Brickseek being Brickseek, it gives the red 'no results' error sometimes. Just gotta keep trying, or wait a few hours.

Same for me. I typically call my best friend when I'm on a Walmart clearance run and ask if he wants specific copies of games. He's WAYYY more into collecting than me. So bad he basically buys a copy of every game just as a completionist. Claims he has intentions on playing though with life and hid kids, it would literally be impossible for him to play everything he owns.

There is a member here on CAG I have a good rapport with and we've traded in the past. We haven't reconvened in real life since covid hit so we have a bunch of pending trades as well.

Brickseek is just being weird. The store I got my copy from was the only one to show up on there when I've seen it at other stores.

Thanks! I was surprised to even see in the case. I always forget how long it takes to find someone with the keys when you roll up in there around closing time.

For others, here is the listing (it is 530817837) and the list of stores that have it for a clearance price (all showing 6+ stock). This list is for $10 - $25, some stores have it for $30 - $40 as well.

One of my local Walmarts apparently cleared out Fire Emblem for $5.

That's pants-on-potato insane.

Been watching for Outriders to drop but all the stores by me are still $20.

There stores in my area that have random game clearance to $5 quick like Clubhouse games a month after release.

 
See if any of these tickle your fancy…

This is a Wal-Mart around me that decided that half of the games on clearance:

There is nothing great yet but amount is huge.

My closest Walmart had a few of those same titles on clearance too. Namely niohs. Didn't see hades, tropical freeze though. I think there was a Naruto to Boruto title for 7.xx as well.
