Target coupon- 5 dollars off 25 dollar purchase

This thread is for clearance-- not for sale items, or raincheck "scams." Price reductions for clearance seem to happen on Monday, although not every Monday. Target often donates its older clearance titles to Goodwill stores, so keep that in mind when you're trying to find items. Some info from BigDirty: "Further reduction is possible when a game's price ends with 8 cents. However, when it ends in 4 cents it will NOT drop anymore. If it ends in 9 cents, it's just on sale or on a non-clearance reduction."

When posting deals, please include city, state, store, game, system and price. For example:
Mesa, AZ Power Road at Superstition Springs
Super Soup Soufflé, Xbox 360, $4.98

Special thanks to Mephitical for this great tool for locating clearance titles which is located here. Go to Amazon or Target to find the item's ASIN. When you find it, replace "B000O3IS48" in the URL with your item's ASIN. This will take you to a page asking you for your zip code. Type in your zip code and click enter-- this will display a list of local stores and whether or not they have your item in stock. YMMV on it working properly.

Here is a fairly easy way to check if your local Target has the games on clearance-- often games will not be tagged correctly. Thanks to BigDirty for this:
1) Go to Half.com or a similar site. Search for the game to locate its UPC code number. It's in the gray box underneath the box art graphic.
2) Go to UPC Data ,Milk.com , or UPC Database and enter the code so you can print out the UPC. Go to Target and use the price scanners to scan your printouts.

Remember, the lowest known price will be posted since the listed item could be higher or lower at your store. Here are the current deals:

Lots of new titles at 30% (notables)

DS - Children of Mana, Meteos Disney, Chocobo Tales

PS2 - Rogue Galaxy, Okami

GC - Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Mario Sunshine

Picked up a Psyclone "Metal Sunrise" wireless guitar for PS2 for $12.48 (!) - was an "as is" sticker.

The PS2 psyclone guitar kits with stand and strap are now $5 as well

Dave[/QUOTE]

I saw a lot of these too. I'm waiting for a bigger drop. I'm hoping most of them hit $5 (especially AC, Mario, Meteos, and FFIII).

And mine still had STALKER at $14.98. I hope it's $7.48 by next week.

doubt it, he probably got Call of Duty 3 or 2 for that price. Must have been a typo

I'm as pro "castination" as the next guy but keep your shorts on; nobody wants to see your bare fruits!
 
The stores in my area pretty much had the same collection of games already reported on endcaps and/or in carts. Plenty of copies of anything I'd want, so I'm holding off until they drop. The only thing I think I didn't see anyone report are the DDR sets. I've seen PS2, XBOX, 360, and standalone (think Strawberry Shortcake) DDR sets clearanced at several stores. All of 'em at 15%, if I recall correctly, so I'll keep an eye on that too.

I saw one of each of the DDR sets at my store tonight.
 
George is gettin frustrated...My Target shipped off all the clearance stuff before hitting 75% AGAIN. :bomb: !!!

I noticed the Nintendo brand Super Paper Mario guide went down by 30%.
 
The Cherry Hill, NJ store has several titles already mentioned, along with:

Splinter Cell: Double Agent (PS3): $41.98
Mario Party 7 (GC): $34.98 (one copy)

Most if not all their GameCube inventory is getting clearanced (SMS, Wind Waker, etc.).
 
What do you guys mean by "as is"? Are these titles opened up and missing stuff?
I'd like to make a trip today to see what my local Target has.
 
[quote name='hordak']WTF???? :applause::applause::applause: You got CoD4 for $10????[/quote]

This has to be CoD2, as 3 and 4 were not made for PC in any way, shape, or form.

Too bad though....I would love to pick this up for $10, reminds me of the R6:Vegas when it first came out and some targets had it on clearance.
 
They had loads of games on clearance at my local Target last night, but the prices were rubbish, and I'm not sure if they'll drop any further.

[quote name='Segasonic01']The games are still sealed, idk why they're marked "as Is". :)[/quote]

Short version: The item no longer scanned in the system and they made up a price.

Full Explanation: When an item drops to a certain percentage off (usually 90%), they are "salvaged" and sent to Goodwill. Shortly after, those items are removed from the system. During inventory, everything in the store is scanned to be counted. If an item that is no longer in the system is scanned, it comes up as "not on file". Rather than not count this item, the management team comes up with a price on the spot so it can be counted with the inventory. The item is marked with a red and white rectangular ticket that says "as is". These same tickets can be used on damaged items or multi pack sets missing pieces. As long as their sealed, you should be fine. And even if there is something wrong you can always return them.

Full Explanation: When an item drops to a certain percentage off (usually 90%), they are "salvaged" and sent to Goodwill. Shortly after, those items are removed from the system. During inventory, everything in the store is scanned to be counted. If an item that is no longer in the system is scanned, it comes up as "not on file". Rather than not count this item, the management team comes up with a price on the spot so it can be counted with the inventory. The item is marked with a red and white rectangular ticket that says "as is". These same tickets can be used on damaged items or multi pack sets missing pieces. As long as their sealed, you should be fine. And even if there is something wrong you can always return them.[/QUOTE]


Funny thing that the target exclusive TRANSFORMERS PC game was about 2.9x something at my local target store 3 WEEKS after it came out with that red "as is" tag!!!! I bought the game on sale a few weeks back. I was thinking to myself how the hell did this happen? Yet now I go back to the store and bam, it's on the shelf still for 19.99... so how can something that's not in the system, get back in the system when it wasn't suppose to be out of the system in the first place!??!?

I think the pricing team screwed up big time..either that or they were transformers fans doing fans a service :p
 
[quote name='CokeCola']Target uses the as-is labels to sell both damaged merchandise and items they end up with that the store doesn't sell. They generally get the latter from mis-picks (and one or two other ways...) - something gets mis-packaged at the DC, so instead of a box of donuts they end up with Spanish-language DVDs. They need to use the as-is label because 1) the bar code won't scan as anything, 2) even if you stuck a normal bar code on it, there's nothing to sell it as that won't impact inventory, and 3) there's no where to put it.*

The thing is, sometimes bar codes on items the store is supposed to have still don't scan - the UPC that comes in isn't the one headquarters attached to the DCPI for the store. Some stores interpret that as a mis-pick and re-label the item. This happened to Rainbow-Six: Vegas for the PS3 when it came out. Other, smarter stores will print out their own bar code for the item, or better yet, tie the actual UPC to the Target DCPI (but not everyone knows how to do that).

*I think mis-picks are actually supposed to be sent back to the DC, but for various reasons, that often doesn't happen.[/quote]

Saw the Chocobo game for the DS for 20 and Oblivion for the PS3 for 15. A stack of black label Bullys for the PS2 as well for 15. Impulse buy on Oblivion and Bully... both are to good of a game to pass up.
 
My Target had Def Jam ICON with the red and white sticker, but the cashier said it was the price on the sticker, $29.98. When I scanned it at the price checker, it didn't come up in the system. Is this the correct price?

Sounds like it dropped out of the system and was supposed to be pulled. I think they can check it with their little gun things and find out the last price it was dropped to. Whether you can get them to honor what the little gun says is another matter.
 
[quote name='Segasonic01']The games are still sealed, idk why they're marked "as Is".

Found a 4X Gamecube card today for $2.37 :)[/quote]

If it's third party don't bother using it, read this thread.

Yeah when a game drops out of the system it's a real crap shoot... I've had really good luck at my store with the cashiers allowing me to name my price. Big time YMMV.
 
I guess if I had a bad experience, I'd be upset too, but I've always used 3rd party accessories as much as first party. I cannot recall anything particularly wonky about the 3rd party stuff, with the exception of my Nyko remote for the 360. Though I'm not sure if that's because the remote itself is a piece of garbage, or because Microsoft intentionally made wireless hard for 3rd parties. But all my Madcatz stuff (GC, PS2) works well and I'd have no fear in buying from them again.

For the record, I also use GameStop component cables for my 360.
 
I've also used a lot of third party accessories and I've never had any horror stories. Hell, the second oldest PS1 memory card I have if from mad Catz and it's still working just fine. Even 2 of my 4 Gamecube cards are Mad catz, including the first one I bought, which was the first February the system was out. I think it really depends on how much the thing is used and how it's handled. if you are constantly moving you memory card, dropping it, etc, it may just corrupt. But under moderate/normal use, it should be fine.
 
I haven't been following this thread much but there's a ton of stuff on clearance at my local Target. Most of it is still above the range I'd want to pay but I did pick up College Hoops 2K6 (360) for $4.98. I figured that was the 75% off price so that's the lowest it'll go. This store is notorious for only letting things get to 50% before sending them off (like those 360 Arcade sticks).

I also managed to get a bunch of Halloween T-shirts for the kids for 40 - 70 cents. Sure, they are all odd sizes that don't fit anyone now (or probably next year either) but for that cheap I couldn't resist ;).
 
^ I know the feeling. I found a lot of candy for $0.21 - $0.27 a bag. I was grabbing stuff even if it wasn't my favorite kinds just because it was so cheap. I figured with most expiring in Spring and Summer 08, I'd stock up now rather than buy an occasional bag for $2 on sale during the year.

I also saw an endcap with a ton of games, unfortunately they were all 30% off. Too many to list, but I remember seeing Ant Bully for the Wii for $13.98, a bunch of 07 sports games on various systems, Gun for the PSP.

Was hoping the 50% off games finally dropped but Burnout Dominator is still scanning at $19.98
 
[quote name='Joe Fongul']Went to the local Target (Fresno CA River Park location)

Had quite a few copies of clearance games:
Stalker $20.98
All Star Football (360) $14.98
Fantastic Four, Harry Potter (PS3/360) $27.98
NBA Street Homecourt (360) $29.98
Godfather (Xbx) $9.98

I'm looking to obtain STALKER, but for no less than $15. If anyone can help me out, please let me know ;)[/quote]

Are these deals everywhere?? Is it just for this week only??

READ THE DAMN TITLE NOOB!!!

it's a YMMV thing so you have to get your lazy ass to a target and look for yourself.
 
Hey Friend of Sonic, nice job on the list in the OP - that's the first time I've ever seen a comprehensive Target clearance list on CAG ;).

I did just remember one more I saw. Besides the College Hoops 2K6 I picked up, it was the only thing at 75% off - King Kong for the Gamecube was $4.98 also. I would have snagged it if I didn't have the 360 version. Pretty much everything you have in the list (dated Nov 5th) that I saw at my store was the same price so I would imagine those two would be fairly universal as well - or at least on clearance at some price (you do have College Hoops on there from Oct as $9.98 but King Kong for the GC is new).

Damn, wish I had known about Arcade Unplugged - I need to keep an eye out for that one. Unfortunately every Target I've been to in the last year keeps on top of all their prices and I never find those hidden gems any more (unlike at, say, Kmart ;)).
 
Just got Black (Xbox) and 24 (PS2) for $4.98

Also saw Blitz (360) for $13 and piles of other 360 games that have already been mentioned
 
I saw Battles of Prince of Persia for DS for $9.98 the other day.

I'm not sure that I would include prices in the OP. Clearance prices vary from store to store.
