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='hmbtnguy']Last I checked Gamestop is only giving $5 for Endwar so at that point you might as well try your luck on ebay or just keep the game.[/QUOTE]

$5.00 is more than I was expecting, and would bring the $50 headset down to $17.48.

Prices on ebay are bottom of the barrel as well. Not a big fan of gamestop, but in this one case I think it may be one of very few choices. You're already getting the headset for about $25.00 (w/tax), so anything you get for the game is great either way.
 
Damn, is Ninja Blade ever going to drop to $9.98? It's still $19.98 in my area. I know it's still at that price in most places but it's still taking a long time. The only thing I picked up was We Cheer for $9.98. No drops other than Motorstorm: PR.
 
Finally! Picked up two copies of FEAR 2 for $12 but most of my money went to Hollywood Video's sale and was able to pick up FEAR for $5 yay finally I can play em!

No other good deals except that Pokemon Saphire GBA game is now $17. 2 left at one store only 1 shrinkwrapped one left.
 
[quote name='emg28']The only thing I picked up was We Cheer for $9.98.[/QUOTE]

Get ready for a sh!tstorm of requests from other CAG's who couldn't find this but want you to get them a copy.
 
[quote name='Haggar']50 Cent & Riddick were still $29.xx at my local Target.

Picked up Fear 2 for $12.48 & Endwar bundle for $22.48. I have zero interest in Endwar, bought the bundle for the headset. Will be trading Endwar to Gamestop to bring the headset price down a little more.

I forget, is .98 or .48 the 'final' clearance price before the items are pulled?[/QUOTE]

IIRC, final prices usually end in 4
 
[quote name='confoosious']I've never seen a target price end in 4?[/QUOTE]
Your Target is doing it wrong. ;)

A price ending in ($xx.x4) is usually the last markdown before that Target ships the items off to salvage. The item can be priced lower if it does not sell but it is at the discretion of the Price Change Team Leader.
Sounds like your Target clearance never reaches 75% off.

I lol'd.
 
Saw hawx for 24.xx and some change it was on the lower shelf at 50% off. Was looking for fear 2 for ps3 but it's only on clearance for the 360 but they had a few copies for 12.xx
 
[quote name='KinjiMuto']saw about 2 dozen copies of Prince of Persia for 14.XX quickly jumped on this[/QUOTE]

Which system? The only reason I ask is because the PS3 version is now clearanced, but I haven't seen it for less than $27.98 yet.
 
EndWar with headsets is marked at $44.98 at my local Target (League City, Texas). I had the counter person verify that it was the "correct" clearance price.
 
[quote name='bballsports']I saw $22 End War Bundles for PS3... any chance these go lower in price?[/QUOTE]

Probably not. Once the normal Target shoppers figure out that there is a headset in the bundle for $20ish dollars as opposed to the $50 retail one, it shall disappear.
 
Yet another copy of 50 Cent : BOTS picked up, all alone on the shelf. Must have been a hidden copy that was found because it still had the $41 price tag on it. ;)

Up for trade on my list as is the other!
 
Can anyone keep an eye out for House of the Dead Overkill for me? Thats the only game Im looking and actively searching for. Id really appreciate it. Heck even if someone bought it and played, I'll take it used if youre not into keeping it.
 
I picked up a 320GB My Book for $39.98. Not bad for the price...not great, but I will keep it sealed for a week before I open it. Will come in handy as a PS3 backup or an external device attached to the 360 or something.

That's a pretty good price, IMO. I need a new one.
 
Saw a few more Motorstorm: Pacific at the Super Target in Fitchburg WI.

I'm really hoping I can get that one if it hits $14, but I'm guessing it'll be long gone before that.
 
Total bummer today. I found a copy of Banjo-Kazooie:NaB out of nowhere. It was labeled $27.98 but I knew the game went down to $9.98 when I last saw it. So I scanned it hoping that went down more (unlikely but you never know) and of course it wasn't in the system anymore. I took it up to the service desk to see if they could do anything. They called over their new GSTL to take a look. He offered it to sell it to me for $28 since thats what it was labeled. Dammit.

So I scanned it hoping that went down more (unlikely but you never know) and of course it wasn't in the system anymore. I took it up to the service desk to see if they could do anything.

I believe you should be able to get an employee with a scanner to tell you the lowest price before it dropped out of the system. Of course, the trouble is to find one, and then convince them to do it.
 
Picked up the PS3 Endwar Bundle for $22.48 this evening at Super Target on Bowles in Littleton CO. There were 9 other copies remaining on the endcap.
 
Yesterday my Target had 12 copies of Endwar that had just recently dropped to $22. I decided against it and ended up going back today at roughly the same time I went yesterday. Not a single one was left and the entire rack was a huge mess.

Looks like I have some hoarders in my area that enjoy defacing what was originally a pristine and organized collection on the racks.
 
[quote name='omega999']Went to a local target Monday night and had FEAR 2 for PS3 get scanned, it was $49.99 will the price drop to $12 like everyone else is getting sometime this week perhaps?[/QUOTE]

Don't hold your breath. It's rare to snag a decent PS3 game at 75% off. :roll:

it will drop at some point just possibly not when he's there.
 
If I can grab Motorstorm: Pacific Rift at $15, I'll be really happy.

The clearance sections at two of my Targets have been bare for the past few weeks, so I'm hoping Motorstorm lasts that long.
 
For those of you that found HDDs, were they in the same section as the rest of your store's clearence items. I know each store is different, but I have yet to see any type of HDD on clearence at my stores.
 
For those who picked up an EndWar bundle. You can trade it in at Goozex for a cool 950 points. I was able to find a requester and I'm shipping it out tomorrow.
 
This thread is for clearance-- not for sale items. Price reductions for clearance

You should've removed the sticker before taking it up to CS.*

*Yes, I do know that removing/altering price stickers is illegal in some states so... move along.

^This is what PenguinoMF should've done (right after removing the sticker). In my experience, they won't even scan the item if they see a price tag on it.


For those of you requesting that I pick up a copy of We Cheer for you, GTFO. I bought all the copies that they had and I plan on keeping them sealed to sell on e-bay in the future. :booty:
