Crazy Discount at K-Mart

ricoraney

CAGiversary!
Someone posted their haul from CompUSA the other day and I reply with a "I got one better" Well it turns out that I didn't even look at my receipt until today and found that the deal was even sweeter then I thought.

Here's a recap: Saturday(10-13-07) I went to K-Mart and browsed their clearance games. I saw some DS, PS2, XBOX, and XBOX 360 games priced from $5.00-$26.00. These were on the bottom level where they were renovating. So at that particular time I had to pay for my items upstairs. Well the cashier stopped after ringing the first item, saying she needed an override. She then told me that the games were 75% off the clearance stickers and that the Perfect Dark Zero that she rang up wasn't $7.00, but instead it was $1.75! My mouth dropped and I told her to hold my stuff and that I would return shortly. Now today I looked at my receipt and saw how much I paid for Pokemon Trozei and Contact; thinking I paid $5.50 and $6.50 respectively. I was wrong! Man was I wrong! According to the receipt I paid $1.24 each! Wow! Talk about sweet.

Check out my haul:
Elite Beat Agents-$5.50
Meteos-$5.50
Point Blank-$1.75
Pokemon Trozei-$1.24
Contact-$1.24
Nintendo DS Web Browser-$5.50
Advent Rising-$1.24
Perfect Dark Zero-$1.75
Phantasy Star Universe(360)-$1.75
Star Trek Legacy(360-$2.50
Tales of the Abyss-$5.50
Valkyrie Profile 2-$5.50

There was something else but I can't remember, I had two receipts.

Now I went home to re-up on some ends for a second haul, but my plans were thwarted by a knowledgeable manager. He got wind of this and said that the cashier upstairs made a mistake. Apparently there was a table on the upper level with clearance items that were 75% off the clearance price. Well since the employees on the lower level directed me upstairs to pay for my items, the cashier upstairs assumed that I picked them up from the table. Which to me really did add up, being that there were no games on the upper level or on that table for that matter. Anyway, I am not looking a gift-horse in the mouth.
 
Erm, that manager isn't all that knowedable considering most if not all of the games you mentioned ARE on clearance.

You pretty much got your stuff at the prices you were supposed to get them.
 
K-mart got some of the craziest deal. Once got a PSone with LCD combo brandnew for $10. Sold it on ebay for like 80 or 90.

when i lived in Jersey, the Kmart around the corner had 2 floors, was pretty sweet. Most of the clothes and stuff was on the 2nd level

That they were on clearance isn't the issue- upstairs clearance items had an extra discount on top of the clearance that didn't apply to his downstairs game finds. It's not much more off, but it is pretty kewl.

Good haul dude!

I still have one from Kmarts clearance a while back of them and a car adapter to go with it for $3 to boot. I may try and sell it this Christmas with a second DS 1 controller for $70-80 and add some games from the GS 75% off clearance with it.

No dude! It is a big difference. Example: I take a game to the register marked $7.00. This is the final price that I have to pay, $7.00. The girl dumps an additional 75% off on top of the $7.00, which brings the price to $1.75.
 
Aw, so freakin' lucky!
It really does hurt sometimes to live in NYC. I went to the KMart near Macy's and I couldn't even find the freakin' clearance section. Nothing but new games.

Speaking about single player only, as I rarely play multiplayer (with a huge backlog of games I don't have time).

PD0 isn't a bad game. I paid $15 for it and it was well worth it for the amount of gameplay I got out of it. Not to mention it is difficult as hell (Halo 3 on legendary is a cake walk compared to PD0's Dark Agent) which can be frustrating but also very rewarding when you finally get it right.

It was In fair lawn, NJ close to Orange. I think off Route 4. Meant be closed now.
 
i checked out the kmart that the op went to, damn what a dump. the games clearance aisle had a terrible selection.. i wanted to find meteos but no such luck. still a few advent risings for $5 though haha
 
ONE cool thing about that kmart is that since it has a downstairs and only escalators, they have this crazy escalator JUST for shopping carts. you put your cart in this thing and it follows you down along side hahah...

other than that yea that kmart is a total shit stain
 
bread's done
