(Part I) The Target clearance thread

This thread is for clearance-- not for sale items. Price reductions for clearance seem to happen on Monday, although not every Monday, but could also occur any day of the week depending on your store's price change team. Price adjustments on clearance are typically not allowed, but some have succeeded or have been able to do as return and rebuy.

Target often donates its older clearance titles to Goodwill stores, so keep that in mind when you're trying to find items. 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." Also, note that, typically, games will drop three times-- from 30%, 50%, then to the final drop of 75% off of the original price. Some people, however, have seen further drops up to 85%.

When games are marked down, the price change team typically find the game and scan it with their PDA/LRT to intiate the price change. However, in the case that they cannot find the game, they will either choose to not drop the price further or process the price change anyway, figuring that the game is somewhere in the store.

When posting deals, please include game, system, price, city and state. For example:
Debbie Does Skywalker, Xbox 360, $4.98
Mesa, AZ Power Road at Superstition Springs

Also, a great help when you're posting deals you've found is to check this post and see if your item's DPCI number is already listed. DPCI stands for Department, Class, Item-- it's Target's version of a SKU. These are a nine digit number that can always be found on your receipt and also on the red clearance tags on the item itself. DPCI numbers are handy to have when you want to check the item's price-- just go over to your scanner and punch in the numbers, if your scanners have keypads. Also, you can give these numbers to team members so they can check the availability of the item easily with their PDA scanners. Please post any DPCI numbers that are not already in the OP-- thanks!

Here is a fairly easy way to check your local Target's pricing-- often price tags will not be correct. 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.

Thanks to Mephitical for this 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.

The lowest known price will be posted. The item could be higher or lower at your store. Numbers in yellow are DPCI numbers, which can be used to check the prices of items on newer scanners.

[quote name='bywaytm']If there is any copies left at all you will only get the option of an exchange for another copy of the same game. (which should be opened before being given to you if they follow policy)

I'm not sure what they would do if its the last copy. Depending on the store you might get nothing, get your money back, or get a gift card. I would think a gift card would be the most likely scenario.

In any event I would be extremely sweet, look presentable and extremely innocent and maybe even naive when trying.[/quote]

Alright, thanks for the tips. There aren't any other copies left, so I guess a gift card would be okay, though I'd rather just have the game in working condition :cry:
 
[quote name='darkslime']I don't hoard, my stuff gets sold quickly on ebay. :D

Seriously, what the fuck is everyone's problem with hoarding games or flipping games? IMO you snooze you lose.[/quote]

As stated above the name of the site is CheapAssGAMER. There are other sites out there geared towards people that hoard things. The purpose of this site is for people who actually play games to have a place they can communicate with like minded people in order to find great deals on games to play and enjoy, not to try and fuck everyone else over how might actually want to play a game in order to make a quick buck for yourself.

Look at the sub-title for this section of the board. It says ...

Video Game Deals - The best video game deals in the world are here.

not

Video Game Deals - The best ways to get rich quick are here.

Anyways, you asked a question thats the answer. If anyone is to do stuff like that, its your business. Just don't come bragging to this site about it and expect to receive a big pat on the back for your good fortune.

Back onto the Target side of things, I had noticed things moving quicker in the area and now I see why. So many South FL people on the Target trails now :shock:.
 
Has anyone seen SC4 :360: in OR? I have a bad feeling it's all gone here. If someone is willing to get hold of a copy please PM.
 
Well I only have been to one Target so far this week, and didn't find anything for me. In keeping with the recent discussions, I will post my location since there wasn't anything I wanted. :p This was at the Forum.

Disney Sing It (PS3) = $9.xx.

I almost picked it up to trade/sell but figured I'd pass for now. It's barely over a 1:1 trade to GS before bonuses and I don't have anything else to trade in now to make it worth it.

No more Fracture (which I probably would have picked up for $10), didn't see Too Human either. Most of the other stuff people talk about here hasn't been at that store for a long time. There were a bunch of Endwar (DS) but I am not sure of the price. I wanna say ~$15.
 
yeah, I don't want to mention location in fear of the horders. I'm lucky to have Mondays off from work so I usually get my pickings, but I only buy 1 copy of each game that I want. The Target I go to actually isn't as busy as others. Tomb Raiders sat on the shelf at $15 for over a week. Monday when I went, there were 5 Pokemon Rangers at $7.48. I bought one. Then I decided I didn't want it and returned it Wednesday. When I rechecked the clearance section, all the Pokemon Rangers were gone, and 5 of the 6 Tomb Raiders that had sat there over a week were gone. On a Wednesday, that means a horder.

:imwithst:

Your shtick is getting old. No, wait--it is old.
 
Oh you're the one from Wesley Chapel...
I was there 2-3 weeks ago and bought Guitar Hero Aerosmith for $9.98. Last Remnant was $29.98. I imagine it's gone now though. First Super Target I've ever been to as well.
 
Monday Pinellas Park, FL had (all 360):

Guitar Hero Aerosmith $9.98
The Bourne Conspiracy $14.98
Lego Batman $12.48
Unreal Tournament 3 $9.98
Fracture $9.98
And a sports game (NCAA '08?) $9.98

Pretty good considering at this store they usually stays at 30% forever. Although they weren't on the endcaps, they were still in the case. The lady there said that the manager had just dropped them a few minutes before. Picked up Bourne and Unreal.
 
We've all been listing the same 4 or 5 games that everyone's Target's have on clearance. Anyone have any "insider" info as to what games will next find their way to the clearance section????
 
I just back from my target and I didnt hide any games. What i did though was hide the cashier working electronics so no1 can find him when it's time to move the clearance titles to the end cap! Ill get him out when i go in to pick them clean. :lol:
 
I hid my Target behind one of the Wal-Marts, but I'm not telling which one. Good luck finding it.

I keep forgetting we have a new Target. Wonder how many deals I may have missed because I never think to check there.

[quote name='Kakkarrot23']Can someone give me any opinions on Farcry 2. I picked it up on impulse for 14.98 and was wondering if it was worth it and what it is about[/quote]

its solid gameplay, just repetitive. if you don't mind driving around africa shooting things all the time its no problem. for example, to get from one objective to another you have to pass through some posts with guards. they respawn every 2 minutes.
 
the problem with FarCry is that the save games can get corrupted at around 60%. It corrupts all saves so you have to start over. I don't believe they ever patched this.
 
Saw about 9-11 boxes of Rock Band 1 SE for PS3 marked down to $70 bucks. I was tempted to get it, but already have the X360 version.

Going to wait for another drop before I bite, mine has a good number.
 
got the last copies of silent hill and last remnant for 15 bucks each at kennewick washington target. also picked up sciv for 15$.

noticed they added dead space and a few other newish games to the clearance rack but they still scanned at $49.xx

Are you serious? I got the game for $15 and opened it so any info or link with details on this would help alot.

I've gone down that route, and it almost never pays off for me. I either miss out, or someone less frugal will pick it up. Anyway, good luck!
 
All right guys, I took a two week vacation from work (and subsequently got lazy, so I didn't update the last 50 pages or so until this week) Sorry about that! OP should be good, but if I missed something let me know. Also, if you guys can help me brainstorm for questions newbies may have, I want to flesh the OP out more.

Also, as far as posting your location goes, whatever. I personally don't post information about a game that's at 50% off that I'm waiting for 75% off. However, I do always tell about the 75% off titles that I don't want, or already managed to get.

I also don't think we need confirmation for a game being the same price. If, say Bioshock is 27.98, we don't need to see a bunch of no-location posts telling us it's 27.98. We do need to hear, though, lower prices such as 19.98, or if it rings up full price at your store since some items don't go on clearance at some stores. But, that's just my opinion and request and there's no way to make it factually correct since many CAGs (myself included, which I've been trying to cut back on) post bragging posts in deal threads.

I guess I just want the thread size to stop blowing up so big so quickly-- this thread is really something else, for whatever reason. I look in the K-Mart clearance thread, or any thread really, and I don't see three page debates at the morals of hiding games-- repeated week, after week, after week.
 
I was surprised to see that someones stash got reveiled.

Found:

Brothers in Arms and Too Human for the discounted prices...someone grabed a Bolt and there was some random PS3 titles laying around. Glad to see my Target stepping up finally

I took the two that I found (Too Human and Brothers in Arms) worse case I use the Tiered GS system to turn a small profit.
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']All right guys, ...
[/quote]

I think it's mostly because Target is one of the few retailers that puts on games on shelves and on behind a case that causes the blow up compared to sears.

I am seeing a few Targets on my Biweekly trips that are starting to keep their clearance games behind glass cases. Notably a Target by McDonald and the 101 in Scottsdale Arizona.
 
[quote name='Ravenous']Are you serious? I got the game for $15 and opened it so any info or link with details on this would help alot.[/quote]

I plugged maybe 40+ Hours in this game and only had this problem once. Luckily every time you save it starts as a new save. I only had to revert to an old save once. I suggest unlocking a safe house when you find it and saving there every time your near it. It's a game about sticking with you decisions and replaying for the best outcome.

That said it can be annoying but I loved the game. Im very disappointed in the game for not having an achievement for beating it on hard. That was a BITCH and when I beat it (I don't look for achievements till I beat a game once) I was shocked to see there was not recognition for beating it on hard. (I blame there being multiplayer achievments.)

Also don't buy the DLC.

Yeah, it happened to me on my 360 but I was 92% done with the game. I just figured I would restart it and get my money out of it

Well, what if I post my findings but don't mention which particular store. But then anyone can see I'm in SA and know they can check stores around here. If I saw someone from SA post a deal I was interested in, I'd definitely check the stores by me. I don't really care either way, just a thought.

God I hope the Scene It 2 Bundles gets marked down soon. I'm so tempted to just pick it up for $40, but I'm really trying to hold out. I take it to the scanner everytime I am in there, lol.

Right, and I would consider that as part of posting your location. A city, or even a state, in your profile is better than five or ten people with no posted location or no location in their profile saying "Brothers in Arms, 14.98." It's just a preference of mine since this damn thread gets so big. =p But, people can post as they like, no sweat off my back.
 
Thanks for the all time Sonic!

Your guidance is appreciated...now what's your opinion about the "hiding" crap ... pages and pages
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']It's a fun read at work, please continue[/quote]


Then why did you just post this in the Kmart thread?

and you just wrote about needless posts ...

"I think it's immoral to hide a game so that you can get a cheaper price in the future.

I just wanted to let you guys know that."
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']So I can have more bickering about hiding games to read about.

Donut, please loosen up the buttons. You don't need to button the top button. It's just there for show.[/quote]

The problem is that there is no Target bragging thread and even if there was people still wouldn't post there (happens with penny guides all the time).

Yeah, that's a good point. Which is why I'll never pursue the matter beyond a "Plz guys." But, I'm just more mad at myself that I let the thread go 50 pages without updating it.

Ok, keep us informed about your future purchases.
 
I'm not posting location info because I hope I find everyone's stashes, buy what I want and put them back where they belong. Especially after seeing new items just magically appear. You will be found.
