goodbye CAG. You haven't been fun for awhile now. Too many hoarders, lurkers and flippers.

I find this pretty ridiculous to be honest. Why would you deliberately risk eliminating a useful app by being lazy/dumb? Sure it's not 100% accurate but it does help show what might possibly be available at certain stores instead of wasting time/gas/money going store to store looking and hoping. Might not mean that much to you but you do realize what site your on right?Get over it worst case scenario you have to do things the old fashion way and hunt for clearance.....
Yes and no, BS is the one skirting the legalality here, specifically fishing and publishing internal data/numbers for the public to see. Walmart seems to don't give a shit about this but Target certainly do. Evidence? Target forced Fyndly to shut down, BS had to agree not to publish store stock number anymore.lol @ the idea that Brickseek is some sort of secret. As someone who has managed at both retailers, trust me when I say corporate knows about it and don’t really care..
Again read before you post.. I am not the one going around talking about BS I was defending a guy who was attacked over mentioning it..... people here....I find this pretty ridiculous to be honest.

Thank you for helping people in your store. You go above and beyond in ways we don't see in these areas much anymore. There was an awesome rep like you in electronics for years at my local Target, but he's been gone since Christmas last year. Maybe coincidently who knows, the Target clearance deals have dried up there. It's too bad there aren't more like you guys.lol @ the idea that Brickseek is some sort of secret. As someone who has managed at both retailers, trust me when I say corporate knows about it and don’t really care. If a customer wants to come into the store looking for something, they view that as only a good thing. Feet through the door is what retailers want.
Go ahead and tell employees all you want about Brickseek. Show them the app and the price it says. At Walmart I have had customers do that to me and I will check the system and see that, yeah, there is a pending price change waiting and I’ll go ahead and change it for them. Or if they show me the system says we have X copies of Y game and I am pretty sure we don’t, I’ll go ahead and check the back because I might be wrong. Personally ever since UPCs were removed off the website, I’d rather use sites like Brickseek to find something for a customer.
What I can’t support is treating an employee badly because something isn’t in stock when BS says it is or because the price might be different.
Just responded you your "worst case scenario" comment.Again read before you post.. I am not the one going around talking about BS I was defending a guy who was attacked over mentioning it..... people here....
Thanks man. Some people in here acting like I just murdered Tim Tebow or something. & Most here have a good, healthy attitude about it though.lol @ the idea that Brickseek is some sort of secret.

Don’t let it bother you SideQuest, this place is bizarre with the unwritten rules and entitlement and emotional responses to something as trivial as showing an employee an app he already knows about. I mean, imagine how many people come in there looking for these clearance items on a regular basis, especially during the holidays. And these people are freaking out like you’re gonna Ruin their party LOL
Same here. But it seems like I go in looking for 1 game that I can never find and come out with 3-4 games I had no intention on getting.I've really got to stop going to target all the time...so many purchases just because things are cheap lol. RIP backlog
I know. I've been doing a lot of impulse buys lately. I had to talk myself out of getting that Xbox One with cartwheel that was on sale last week.I've really got to stop going to target all the time...so many purchases just because things are cheap lol. RIP backlog
That's me. On top of all the games, my HP desktop, HP laptop, and the Xbox One S were all impulse buys because of CAG. But I am not complaining. I love my new toys.I know.

Ugh, I think I've impulse bought like 10 games, the laptop and the desktop too. Managed to hold off on all the xbone and ps4 deals but I feel kind of bad about it because they were so cheap.

Computer, in the break room? What fresh hell is this?Why is there always some Target/Walmart employee that comes into these threads and tells us how corporate works? We get it, you were doing the training on the computer in the breakroom and read an update from corporate one time. Stop acting like you know how it works.
We still use stone and chisel.When I worked at JCPENNEY we had an Apple 2 that we had to clock in and out on in our employee locker room. This was in 2006. Macy's had us clock in on the registers.
I also saw Troll and I for that price at Target and the only reason I didn't get it is because the game has gotten dreadful reviews. A shame...I like its concept.People, did SideQuestsSuck make a rookie mistake? Yes. We've all done that. And yes, rule #1 should always be to treat the employees you are trying to get a deal from nicely even if they won't give you that deal. Failure to do this often comes with making the rookie mistakes though.
Offer newbies constructive advice on how to go about things as we all know that it makes things best for everyone. They've clearly gotten the message that BrickSeek is neither definitive nor can it/should it be used to reference stock inventory or prices to Target employees directly as it just doesn't help anything.
Decided to stop at a Target yesterday morning to just pick up some small things and had a couple of finds I was happy with.
All X1:
Batman: Enemy Within for $9
Baja: Edge of Control for $9 (this ones's for my nephew who likes racing games and has very few games for his X1)
Micro Machines: World Tour for $9 (may also go to my nephew, haven't made up my mind yet)
Troll and I for $9
Also found all of the Spider-Man Homecoming funko characters for $3. Snagged spider-man, spider-man homemade suit, Tony Stark and Vulture figures for both me and one of my nephews who's birthday is coming up.
There's a furniture Store Near my house that Uses a application on DOSBOX that stores all of the order information.When I worked at JCPENNEY we had an Apple 2 that we had to clock in and out on in our employee locker room. This was in 2006. Macy's had us clock in on the registers.
How is Dead Alliance... early on impressions from all over was it is shit on a discSo I went back to the Target that hadn't updated prices by yesterday afternoon and they were updated this morning. Ended up picking up:
207-34-9412 Battlechasers: Nightwar (PS4) - $8.98
207-34-1684 Baja: Edge of Control HD (PS4) - $8.98
207-34-0227 Warriors All Stars (PS4) - $11.98
207-34-1713 Dead Alliance Day 1 Edition (PS4) - $11.98
207-32-0356 Batman: Return to Arkham (XB1) - $5.98
207-24-1519 Lego Marvel Avengers (PS3) - $5.98
Also, picked up a Retron 3 2.4 GHZ (Red) for $29.36 (online return - as is)
Damn nice find
FYI, the price sticker on that is for F1 2017. Pretty lucky find there.
They miss labeled it because that DPCI F1 2017 PlayStation 4.
Actually I don't plan on playing it soon as there are too many other things I am working on. Early impressions I saw were for a shooter with zombies - hard to go wrong there.How is Dead Alliance... early on impressions from all over was it is shit on a disc
Looks like someone stuck the wrong sticker on the game. DPCI number is for F1 2017 PS4. You got lucky
Probably spent more on gas and time than the savings ;DAfter about a ing month or two of unsuccessful searches (Through both Targets and Toys R Us) I finally found a copy of Dragon Quest VIII today for 11.98.
The weirdest thing was it wasnt even on the clearance isle, it was the sole copy in the case and was still marked 39.99, but when it was scanned it came up at clearance price.
I saw one at my Target recently, but marked at $19.98 and that was just not cheap enough for me. $11.98 I can hang with though. Do you happen to have the DPI for DQVIII? I wouldn't mind checking the ol' Brick Seeker.After about a ing month or two of unsuccessful searches (Through both Targets and Toys R Us) I finally found a copy of Dragon Quest VIII today for 11.98.

Is this price before or after the 25% cartwheel coupon? My store had it for $11.98, before 25% cartwheel coupon.Nascar Heat Evolution X1 $8.98 207-32-0357
I didn’t even know there was a coupon, that item specifically rang up $29.99 but the target app scanner showed it as 8.98 so that’s what they gave it to me asIs this price before or after the 25% cartwheel coupon? My store had it for $11.98, before 25% cartwheel coupon.
It automatically applied the cartwheel coupon for you. I just tried it on the game and it said offer applied (cartwheel).I didn’t even know there was a coupon, that item specifically rang up $29.99 but the target app scanner showed it as 8.98 so that’s what they gave it to me as
I never actually drove around just looking for DQ, it was mostly while I was hunting for other deals and it was just high on my want list. And the moment the price dropped to 11.98 was when I was out of town so like all my stores sold out instantly.Probably spent more on gas and time than the savings ;D
Funny: Brickseek seems to think that a Target in Hyde Park Chicago, IL is only 19 miles away from me here in No. VA.

Funnier: That particular Target happens to be the closest one to my parents' house *in* Chicago.
Maybe I'll send them on a CAG run. They're both retired with nothing to do....
