Here is the most up to date compiled list of all known guide deals listed and posted for this thread and similar threads. I will update this list as people post new guide deals. Everything listed in this thread “should” be the price listed or lower. These prices are typically company wide price reductions and not YMMV. But just because the prices are typically universal does not mean that they are guaranteed to be sold to you. Most stores have a destroy clause with the guide companies. So whether or not you get these guides depend on many many factors from how diligent a staff is to how reasonable or friendly one is. Good luck on any you may find and good luck on acquiring them. If anything is incorrect or missing please post so corrections can be made.


Now you can just cut, paste, print, and GO!!!



How you can help: You can keep a printed copy of this list in your jacket, wallet, purse whatever and when you go to any store that carries guides look for guides for games that have been out typically around six months or more and ask for a price check or better yet use a store scanner if they are available. If they are anything less than cover price write it down for us. Also please when you post the info here if it looks like it’s a temporary sale, please post that as well otherwise it will be assumed to a be a permanent price reduction. If you scan a guide and it comes up a different price that what the master lists suggests please list the day and store that you had the guide scanned. Also please list if you physically saw a self-scanner’s price, physically saw a cash registers price or vocally heard a price from the store’s staff. This might sound like a lot and of course we will take what we can get but this will go a long way to having the best master list as well as ferreting out different store practices and policy’s. All help is appreciated and thank you.




Trading: I spoke with the post office and found out that the cheapest form of mailing to the 48 contiguous states would be to use “media mail” It will take a little longer but it will also allow the least amount of money per transaction when trying to acquire guides for your collection. For an average guide weight of about 9 oz its $1.42 cents. All you need to do is put it in an envelope and ship it media mail. He mentioned no one should have a problem if you use the same envelope several times to cut down on costs. He also mentioned that when shipping Media mail that you cannot have any personal correspondence in the envelope. Only books and an invoice are acceptable. If trading is in you interest you do whatever is most comfortable for you and your trading party this was merely a FYI and a good way to keep it cheap.



Helpful links to check for reduced priced guides or guides in general. You will likely never find one cent guides here but various discounted guides and possibly some that you have been searching for.

Looking for assistance: I am looking for some staff from Best Buy’s, EB’s, Gamestop’s and stores of the like. When EB Games or Gamestop has a price reduction their shelves can be empty in a day or two to even as little as just a few hours. EB and Gamestop have daily price changes so all depending on the store’s staff they could be all gone almost immediately. If I could get some staff that can either post here first thing any day that they have a price reduction on guides or that might be able to text message me with such price reductions so that I might be able to inform CAG’ers ASAP. Whether or not us the end user would actually be able to get them from a particular stores staff is very much an YMMV but if there is anyone who can help this would greatly increase the chance’s of CAG’ers being able to pick up guides from these locations. If anyone is interested and able to help please e-mail me at [email protected]. Thank you all for your consideration.



Thank you all for making CAG what it is and for all your contributions.

master list in post 2
 
anyone looking for a battalion wars, awds, killer 7, or advent rising guide, PM me with a tradelist... there are a few guides i'm looking for, thanks!
 
[quote name='theboogeyman']Any possibility of Best Buy dropping their guides next monday? I remember reading someone say that they dropped alot of guides after MLK day last year.[/QUOTE]

That's funny that they would do it only after MLK Day:bouncy:
 
Just snagged some pennied out guides from a local EB Games! I am willing to trade for games or other guides. Here is the list:

ADVANCE WARS: DUAL STRIKE
POKEMON EMERALD VERSION (x2)
STAR FOX: ASSAULT (x2)
BATTALION WARS
SILENT HILL 4: THE ROOM (x2)
BATEN KAITOS
SHINING TEARS (x2)
RESIDENT EVIL OUTBREAK
MADAGASCAR
RATCHET AND CLANK: UP YOUR ARSENAL
SPIDER-MAN 2
THE INCREDIBLES

For those looking to buy the guides outright, I posted them on half.com!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!!
 
I'm curious about which barcode is scanned. I found a Dungeon Siege II at Gamestop and asked to scan it. He started to scan the one on the back and then stopped and keyed in the in the $14.99 sale sticker on the front. Do you think they would register differently? It came up as $14.99.

It should have been a penny whichever barcode was scanned. Anytime the clerk starts keying in stuff manually, it should be a warning that something has gone very very wrong. :)

Had the same thing happen yesterday for Genji/Makai/Dungeon Siege. Regular clerk scanned them in and got the shocked look on her face that read "This can't be right, it's ringing up for only a penny.)

She then goes to fetch the manager/asst-manager who keys in things manually (some random numbers I would guess) and announces - "Sorry- they were on sale but that ended yesterday and now they're back at full price. I could let you have them for 10% off." Wow! a whole 10%? I should have called Shenanigans on them but why bother.

Had to laugh at that - I don't mind the typical excuse (sorry, we can't sell these but have to send them back to the manufacturer) since that's just part of the penny guide game but this guy went above and beyond to make just a little bit more profit for the company.

Anyway picked up most all of the recent penny guides at another, nicer EB (except that elusive FE : Sacred Stones) so CML if anyone is looking to trade.
 
MP dropped their guides to $1 each Friday. The store closest to me will be staying open an extra week to consolidate and sell off the extra merchandise so if their are any guides that you guys are looking for PM me and I'll see what I can find. I'll trade if you have something I'm interested in or I'll sell for the following amounts which include shipping (all guides will be shipped via media mail w/delivery confirmation):

1 guide $5
2 guides $6
3 guides $8 (heavier packages mean increased shipping amounts)
4 guides $9
5 guides $11

Since none of these guides can be returned or exchanged I'm choosing to only do business w/people who have a total of 5 trades or more. The only exception I can think of is if someone wants to mail me the $ first and then I will buy their guides. If the guides are no longer available I will, of course, mail it right back. I'm sorry to the people this may exclude but I have to be careful here. Just as a caveat, if I buy guides for someone and they back out of the deal I will be leaving negative feedback so, please, serious inquiries only.

Let me know if I can help.

What kind of guides did they have, if you remember?

PM me a list if you can, I'm the type of person who dosen't know what they want until they see it (I mean, I'm drawing a complete blank on guides right now).

Thanks though, this is a good thing you are doing.
 
I'd love to buy some guides, but don't really know where to start. I'm sure I'd buy some if I had an idea of what they have. Mario and luigi partners in time, shining force neo, suikoden tactics (do they have a 4 guide?), soul calibur 3, star ocean, xenosaga, any other rpg are some of the things I'd like. Any guides you remember them having?

Sorry, I thoroughly went through the guides today and I didn't see any of those.

I know it sounds crazy but if I'm given a title I can tell you whether I saw it or not but I can't recall enough to make any kind of definitive list. I'm going to try to make a list of most of them tomorrow and I'll let you guys know. In the meantime let me know about any specifice ones.



EDIT: BTW, I posted my offer in this thread because I'd like to keep it exclusive to us guide hunters.

I don't recall ever seeing any DoubleJump guides at my MP. Negative on the rest you listed except they did have a few copies of Kameo.
 
[quote name='alonzomourning23']They have the first animal crossing guide?[/QUOTE]

I managed to get the GC Animal Crossing guide (1 year ago) at Kmart for free . . .
 
[quote name='schultzed']I managed to get the GC Animal Crossing guide (1 year ago) at Kmart for free . . .[/QUOTE]

You keeping it? I got a bunch of guides (in my TL), plus genji, shining tears, advance ward ds, battalion wars, star fox assault, street fighter ac and metroid prime 2. I also have an extra xenosaga 2 limited edition guide, but I wouldn't trade it 1 for 1.

Thats one of the few recent guides I was never able to get for a penny.
 
[quote name='alonzomourning23']You keeping it? [/QUOTE]

Mine's the NP guide. fuck, I just looked it up on fleabay and it gets $35!

But I think I need to keep it . . . my son was into the game for awhile and wouldn't care now but my nearly 4 year old daughter is really enjoying videogames now (Super Monkey Ball is her favorite) and will probably love the game in another year or two.

Story connected with the guide: I saw it at my local Kmart and tried to get it for months. They had a pile of NP guides (20 copies of StarFox Adv., 1 of Wario World, 1 of Wind Waker, 1 of AC) but the clerk would call the manager and they would refuse to let me have it--they were usually jerks about it. One night I was out running an errand and stopped in to try. This old (but friendly) clerk was in and I asked her to scan all four guides . . . she did and when they came up zero (as I recall) and I gave her the "I think they've been discarded" gentle push and she looked uncertain for a minute and I thought she was about to call the manager but instead she just said I could have them.

As she put them in a bag she asked me (with a big smile) to donate to March of Dimes (or something :)) and I gave $2. :)

Was really cool because I got the AC game new for $5 (remember that 2 day CC glitch in Dec. 2004 where GH games came up 2 for $10 . . . ahhh fond memory) and I found the Action Replay cheat disc for $5 at Half Price Books (unlocks all NES games and unlimited $ . . .). Here is one game where I definitely want to cheat (spending 100 hours in AC is not my idea of fun).

So, for $10 . . . I got the game, guide and cheat disc . . . I love you CAG!
 
Been looking for the AC guide. I'm thinking that's gonna be a near-impossible to find though. Nice that you managed to snag one!
 
[quote name='schultzed']I managed to get the GC Animal Crossing guide (1 year ago) at Kmart for free . . .[/QUOTE]

Yep, I got one at K-Mart probably more than a year ago as well. They are at $0.00 so you'd be well advised to buy a Cube game or something and then ask to have it for free. K-Mart has so much old crap that is probably your best bet for the NP guide at this point.
 
I lucked out last night at an EB location that I never go to (W Shaw if you are in my area)

Picked up Makai Kingdom, Genji, Advanced Wars: DS & Fire Emblem: SS; The clerk was way cool about selling the guides, in fact he set some aside for himself as well. I'll try to go back this weekend to grab any remaining guides for trade purposes :)
 
Haven't found any of the recent drops around here lately. I did find an extra pikmin 2, and fight night round 2, in case anyone is interested in a trade for those. I was going to leave them collecting dust at my BB, but I figured anyone who picked those games up during the Toys R'US December sale could use them.
 
Well, I checked my MP today and the guides have almost been completely cleaned out. I don't know what happened. Nobody could (or would) tell me if someone bought all of them or if they pulled them (I can't see any reason for that). I'm talking 300-400 guides gone in 1 day. I'm sorry if I got anyone's hopes up w/my offer but I'll still be going just about every day to see what comes in from other stores. If there are any specific ones you want PM me and I'll keep looking for them. Here's a list of the few that were left.

Brute Force
ESPN NBA 2K5
Hidden and Dangerous 2
Horizons: Empires of Istaria
Lords of Everquest
NBA Street Vol. 2
P.N. 03
Rise to Honor
Shark Tale
Unreal II: The Awakening
Unreal Tournament 2003

If you get an extra Fire Emblem or Makai, let me know. I would gladly trade or buy one. ^_^

A BB that still had a Pikmin 2 guide??? That's insane . . . wasn't that drop over 6 months ago?

Ah shit - I'm going to have to refresh this thread constantly so I don't miss anything, hehe. ^_^
 
[quote name='Brian9824']I went to EB and got Dungeon Siege 2, Megaman X Command Mission, Phantom Brave, Genji, and Silent Hill 4 all for $.01[/QUOTE]

Damn, I was there yesterday and saw Genji...oh well. The good news is that I finally met a cool EB employee (not common in my area from my experience) who hooked me up with some free guides: Battalion Wars and Advance Wars DS. The guy asked how I knew about the guides and I told him about CAG. Hopefully he'll join and share.

Hopefully you have better luck than I did. The last EB employee I told about penny guides now pulls every one of them as soon as they drop and, from what I can tell, takes them himself. I know for a fact that he traded in a huge stack of them last year to another local gamestore that still takes guides - the manager of that store told me he traded so many he had to cut him off. Swell guy.
 
[quote name='Etude']Is the Taiko drum thing only at Gamestop? I stopped by an EB today and it rang up $19.99.[/QUOTE]

It is the drum only, not the combo with game.
 
no drops at eb or gamestop today. saw their pos lists. just thought I would save some the trouble.

on the upside I got a demo of Black woo hoo
 
Well, I didn't work all weekend, but when I got in, they still had a stack of penny guides left over... but I forgot to take what I wanted :bomb:

From what I remember, Gamestop pennied these out on Saturday.

Sigma Star Saga
Dungeons and Dragons: Dragonshard
one of the Warhammer guides for PC


There was more, but I can't recall off the top of my head.

[quote name='floormat']a saturday penny out

Well, price changes occur every day but Sundays at GS, so I guess this was the day they did it.
 
My local Gamestop was clearing out their backroom, and they gave me a bunch of penny guides. Most of them were on the list for either GS or EB, but I also got three I didn't see on the list.

All $.01 at Gamestop:
Megaman Battle Network 5 - Brady Games guide
Sigma Star Saga / Rebelstar: Tactical Command - Brady Games guide
Urban Reign - Brady Games guide

I need to look them over, but will be putting a few up for trade, including some Star Fox: Assault guides, an Advance Wars: Dual Strike guide and a Genji guide.
 
Add these to the Gamestop Penny list

Darkwatch
WWE Day of Reckoning 2
Mortal Kombat Deception
Urban Reign
Warhammer 40,000: Winter Assault

These are the last of the Saturday drop I forgot yesterday.

Anyone know if these are at EB as well? Wouldn't mind grabbing an Urban Reign & Darkwatch if so.
 
Is the SMT: Nocturne guide still findable for a penny, or at least cheaper than $20? Probably dumb of me to ask, since I haven't found it anywhere but at the official site...
 
Figures... finally found an Advance Wars: Dual Strike guide a week after I already paid someone for a copy.

Anyways, it's up for trade or sale (sale price is $5).

I sure wouldn't mind a W40K: WA guide, if there's a spare one to be found.

That makes two of us who can use a Warhammer40K: WA guide. :)

I can use a Sigma Star/Reblestar one as well.

Thanks
