Target Clearance Thread XXIV

So is she strictly cash and checks? Does she use debit card? Another reason to use a credit card is she's protected from fraudulent purchases. If her debit card is compromised, it's very difficult to get your money back.

You know, debit cards also have protection against fraud due to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. Legally the protection between credit cards and debit cards is different, but both have it and the differences aren't that big. CC has a max liability on fraud charges of $50, debit card it's $500 (but that's if the actual card is stolen and you wait two months to report it). If your debit card number is stolen and you tell the bank within 60 days of the first statement showing a fraudulent charge, you have a liability of $0. Most banks are also quite keen to resolve fraud investigations quickly if reported quickly, because they want to keep accounts instead of losing them to a competitor.

I've had fraudulent charges on my debit cards twice (two different banks, two different instances, two very different scenarios). Literally all you have to do is call the bank, dispute the charge, and call it a day.

The first time, they had the money back in my account within minutes. I got a letter a week later just confirming that it was found as a fraudulent charge. The second time, I had the money back in my account the next day (though the fraud happened on a holiday, so I gave some leeway). Got a letter a week later confirming it was found as a fraudulent charge. Both times, the bank's auto fraud alert texted me as the charge was happening so I could dispute right away.

I've had fraud on a credit card once. It took over a month for them to remove the charges and associated interest, and I had to keep calling to follow-up on a weekly basis. It was much more of a pain in the ass than dealing with the bank.

 
Not sure if this has been posted already but all of my local Targets have/had Rayman Legends (Switch) for $11.99. Other than that, pretty much a dud as far as video games go.

 
Does Target ever have nice TVs on clearance? I coulda sworn I bought one there years ago but I haven’t seen one recently.
 
Black Friday is also one of the best days of the year to get great deals on slightly older TVs, as most of the new models start showing up in stores in February.

I noticed the other day that some Target stores are putting PI3B+ kits on 50% off clearance:

Thanks. I grabbed one of the $39.99 kits with the black case today along with the Raspberry Pi power switch for $4.49. There were plenty left since Target isn't exactly the place where people go to shop for those kinds of kits.

I had purchased a Pi 3B a month or so ago, but I believe that I ruined the microSD card and card slot trying to fit it into one of those RetroFlag MegaPi cases, so this is was perfect since the kit included the card and everything.

Wonder if that G7 would work with Xcloud gaming???

 
Wondering how Target will handle Black Friday this year. Assumed most stores would be transitioning to predominantly online sales, however I’ve noticed a massive buildup of older games at 2 or 3 Targets I’ve been to lately.
 
I'm looking for cheap phones for my parents, so that G7 Play might work well for getting them something to throw on our Fi account. 

Edit: No luck at my store even though Brickseek indicated it was in stock (along with their website.)

Did you go to Guest Services and ask them if they had it there? I would go there and mention to them that their own website says they have units in stock and usually they send someone in the back to look for it.

I watched an employee scan the tag for the item with their scanner and saw that a quantity of 0 came up on the device. It's a bummer, because we have a 13 year old with a borked Pixel that needs to be replaced. Oh, well. Something will come up again soon. Thanks again to everyone who has posted.

 
I picked up the PS4 Catherine SB last Saturday and it rang up for $59.99.  Didn't matter much to me since I was planning on bringing it to another store to return/rebuy at the clearance price.

However, when I look it up on BS now, the prices show up mostly as N/A in my area, with a handful at $59.99.  I scanned the actual copy I bought at another store today and it shows as price not found.  Looks like I missed the boat on this one and will be returning my copy.

 
I remember a few years ago Target employees being able to look up the price history of an item on their scanner. So whenever I tried to return/rebuy an item and it would be out of the system in that store. I would tell them what price they had it last and they'd look it up on the scanner and see the last price it had was indeed what I told them. Now either most of the employees are new and don't know how to do that or their scanner apps changed and they can't do that anymore.

Thanks. Got the G7. Was able to use the 10% off electronics coupon as well. Pretty decent phone for that price

Yep, it's been that for a long time now and in the Nintendo landscape at least it's like the only notable thing I've actually seen discounted there since their last game clearance back in like January. The stores I've been to since have a mix of various older (no longer on the planogram) games just sitting on an endcap collecting dust at full price. One of the associates at my local store told me that there is going to be an overhaul of the electronics department this month so hopefully they start putting some more things on clearance.

Nintendo Switch branded Anker power banks 70% off! Some time ago I bought the comparable Anker one that wasn't Switch branded because it came with a charger for it, and the switch branded one doesn't. But now that I have a charger I just bought the Switch branded one for a 2nd one. These are great! I always use them on my Switch and my phone. Replaced my normal charger because I hate being plugged into the wall. Now I have a 2nd when one needs to be charged up, but I'll keep one on my desk and one next to my bed and just charge one when needed

Edit: I almost bought one last week when I went and seen they where 50% off. Then went back this morning planning on buying one but they where 70% off instead. Plus the extra 10% off electronics coupon worked on it

Saw this the other day too and totally forgot about it. My local store had the Anker Powercore 13400 Nintendo Switch Edition at 70% off for $20.99:

https://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker/?sku=207-00-0092

Here's the link for the Powercore 20100 Nintendo Switch model as well but stores around here don't seem to carry it anymore so I have not seen it:

Thanks for the links. I'm contemplating going back for a 3rd smaller one. Both of mine are the 20,100 now.
 
posted this in the arcade thread but realized maybe it should be here instead? 

Galaga has dropped down to $60 but Pacman is still $100

Sell me on these please, and what exactly makes these Switch units?

There is a few left in my area, but it seems they are just power bricks/batteries right? I guess what i'm trying to find out is how worthy are they and what other uses do they have?

i.e. raspberry pi?

appreciate any input on this..

 
It can probably power a Pi, but why would you use a battery to power a Pi? It'll run out of juice at some point, let's say days.

It should be able to charge your phone, your controllers, whatever else?

I haven't worked there in about 8 months, but, last I remember, scanning it would show a $0.00 and then have the last price in parentheses next to it. I'd have no problem quoting them that price.

If it was $0.00 and then had $0.00 in parentheses next to it, I'd say either 50 percent or 70 percent off the list price (which is also listed).

Asking to talk to an ETL about it will generally result in the ETL not caring and honoring the 70 percent off

But, I started there in 2008, so, I learned a lot of tricks that the new people probably don't know.

same reason as anything else, portability my friend. Was all set to buy a portable battery source but then I saw this, so now I'm a bit unsure..

Generic off brand Portable Power Bank, 25000mAh - LINK

Or this Nintendo Switch PowerCore 20100 - Link

Sure the off brand has more power, 25000, and digital read out...but its "off brand" right? V/S the Anker Powercore.... which is even certified to work with Nintendo Switch..

Decisions, decisions..

any and all input welcome..

Sean P

P.S. if anyone cares, here is my build.. "they" are always watching so I won't say what it is but yall should be able to figure it out fairly easily right?

Alfa Atheros Chipset - Antenna
SmartiPi Touch 2 - Case

Raspberry Pi 7" - Touch Screen

 
Not sure if this was posted yet, but throwing it out there.[attachment=34708:20201006_164207.jpg][attachment=34709:20201006_164213.jpg]

The Anker outputs at 24W I believe. This generic is 18W.

generic is likely Shiite. Go with the Anker.

That's very interesting because I distinctly remember a few years ago asking a couple people for the price on clearance items that were still on the floor but wouldn't scan. They scanned the items with their Zebra scanner and yes just like you said the price would come up 0.00 but then they'd press a button and it'd give them basically a timeline of prices. Maybe it was a manager thing because one of the people I asked was a lady who happened to be a manager.

 
What the hell is an ETL at Target? The only things I know are that most stores just have a CSM that acts more as a supervisory role for regular associates, and the data analyst Extract, Transform, Load procedure.

Speaking of computers: any brickseek members-only clearance for hard drives or fans?

It's an electronics team lead. I had that job for a couple years back in 2006, and yes, it's a supervisor role for the electronics employees. Electronics employees didn't rotate departments, so I always had the same crew.
 
real question: those of you that have had your targets remodeled. Do any of you even still have a clearance section? All the targets near me were remodeled over the last year and they no longer have any sort of clearance section anywhere.
