Sept Update: Computer glitch is slowing markdowns - some games are marked up instead of marked down. Example: Feel the Magic should be tagged at $9, sept drop should make it $3, glitch is having it ring up $15. Glitch appears to be YMMV or just on certain games. Some games havent dropped at all. Glitch is on the corporate level - no info on when it will be fixed.

FAQ

Q: Why was this thread created?
A: Because there are multiple threads floating around, and its useful to consolidate. THis one will have the OP constantly updates so you don't have to go digging.

Q: Are these prices YMMV?
A: No, they shouldn't be. I currently have 10 K-Marts in my shopping radius, and they've all been consistent. At one time it was thought that they were YMMV, but I'm pretty sure it was instead employee incompetence at keeping prices updated.

EDIT: Some people are reporting prices that are YMMV, but I am hesitant to mark the deal as such. If you get a different price, it seems to be the exception to the rule, not a true YMMV where it is hit or miss. I'd say these prices are 90% accurate.

Q: An employee said the price was higher than what's on the list.
A: Get the game scanned at the register.

Q: The employee got that price gun and said it was higher than what's on the list.
A: GET THE GAME SCANNED AT THE REGISTER. The gun is incorrect sometimes.

Q: Can I use the price checker thingies?
A: YES! Brilliant idea! They will give you an accurate price. Also, if you have the problem of useless employees not opening the cases for you, you can print off the UPC codes and check them at the price checker.

Q: How can I help?
A: Multiple ways:
- Get a job at K-Mart so we have an inside man
- Post the prices of the games you get
- Write down the prices of games you do not get, then post those too

Q: When are items marked down?
A: Once a month, near the middle of the month.

Q: Does this have anything to do with the weekend 50% off sales K-Mart usually runs?
A: No. While some of these games used to be on the list, this is completely seperate. None of these games are on the 50% list anymore and will not be reduced during these sales.

Q: What if I bought a game at a higher price and it gets reduced? Can I get a price adjustment or a return/rebuy?
A: Chances are VERY SLIM. K-Mart does not do price adjustments on clearance items. A return/rebuy might be possible, but most Kmarts do not employee people with the mental capacity to fully understand this concept.

Q:Can I price check the games without getting into the cases?
A: Yes, thanks to this UPC document from TimTucker. You can scan these at self scanners located in most K-Marts, but note that sometimes prices may not be accurate
http://www.timtucker.com/games/kmart_upcs.doc


Q: What if the price is higher than what's on the list?
A: Then your store has not done markdowns left. Ask them if they have any pending PCLs and perhaps they can do it for you, or just wait it out. Also, you could try a return/rebuy if you have another local store that did the drops. Use the UPC sheet to check this

Q: What if a price doesn't come up? It says "Check shelf tag for pricing".
A: This means that the game was at 90% off, and for some reason it was scheduled to be marked down further. If you have a cool employee, you can get games for cheap. If you have a game with outdated tags, you could be in for a hassle. This is similiar when Target marks things down for salvage.

Q: Are these markdowns YMMV?
A: NO. These are universal nationwide prices. If you arent getting them, its your stores problem and doesnt indicate a larger problem as a whole.

Q: How are things marked down?
A: AFAIK, it can be done manually via gun, or it can be done en masse at the register. If you want further details, we are currently looking for a CAG to take one for the team and get a job at K-Mart to infiltrate and learn their secret methods.

Q: What games will drop further?
A: As a GENERAL RULE, games at 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00 are at 90% off AND WILL NOT DROP FURTHER. Games ending in .99 will drop 2 bucks at a time in random intervals.

Q: What do I do with all these games?
A: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95481

THE OLD GAME LIST - All Games on this list are NOW YMMV. These prices are the lowest reported prices, but many are out of the system and will now depend on the employee you get, the tag on the game and your own negotiating skills:

**SPECIAL NOTE** - All games at a certain price point seem to drop across the board. So if say one game dropped from $8 to $5, all other $8 games also dropped to $5. I believe this is due to percentages, I will discuss this in the theories section later. Here are some examples for this month:
Apr --> May

I checked in on Morganton, Conover, and Greensboro NC KMarts this weekend, but I didn't find anything at any of them. I was pretty bummed, as I was dreaming of finding a psone/lcd or the FFVII. Oh well. Did one of you clean any of those out?
 
[quote name='Lord Omega Yagami']I picked up Dark Cloud 2 at my first K-Mart for $3. I'm happy because that is probably thje game I wanted the most.

But after that, nothing. One store had the biggest jerk. I grab a few games laying out and went to go scan them outside the electronic part and he wouldn't let me leave. So I asked him to scan the games to see how much they were (I stupidly didn't print out a list) and he just read off the price tags for those who had it and then for one without, he just said "ummm this is probably $20 buck". I asked to scan them and he refused to. He also said I had about $150 buck worth of games when I only had $70. Oh well. Screw him. All they had anyway was SC2 but I already have that for Xbox/GC anyway.[/quote]

that is so messed up. i would of taken his name and gone to the store manager and told him/her the situation.what a tool. i also had some lady do the same to me, but she realized that i could think for myself and called her out for being lazy. all in a niceful tactful manner.then when she scanned SCII for $5.00(ps2) she looked at me like i was trying to scam her or something(picked up some gb games also).i then began to tell her in a polite manner that if she were to do her job she would know that there are ALOT of price changes on the video games department where she works at.of course i got no response, she rang me up and i told her to have a nice day. im hoping to goback there tomorrow and have a battle of the minds with this inbred.(store is in petaluma,ca)
 
I hit a gold mine in one of my stores. No games but I did snag 7 MP4/Wave bird bundles at $7 each. 2 managers and 3 cashiers later i finally left with them. Now if I could just get some of items I actually wanted.....

If anyone has any of the following and wants a wavebird let me know: Items in bold are higher wants

Zoo Keeper - $2
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes - $3
Viewtiful Joe 2 - $1.50
Nyko Airflow Controller - $6
Logitech Wireless Controller - $12

Onimusha 3 - $2
Castlevania NES - $3
Metroid Zero Mission - $3

Wow, a mention of Morganton on the Internet; that's my hometown. Where in NC do you live, if you don't mind my asking?
 
[quote name='Pbear1212']Found a copy of feel the magic ds in vegas. Rang up as 29.99 though.[/quote]

same here in MA

found shark tale, golden nugget, all at full price
only thing i got was F Zero GP for $3 last marked at $12
 
Hows this for odd....Kmart 1 is not doing this sale. I guess cause they are a piece of crap store...but anywho...Kmart 2 IS doing the sale, I've already bought a bunch from them.

I go to Kmart 1 who has many Mario Party 4/Wavebird combos....I have them call Kmart 2 and look up the UPC on the bundle to tell me the price. My plan was to return/rebuy. However, Kmart 2 who IS doing the sale says it rigns up at 69.99....WTF??? ARGGGHHHHHH :bomb:
 
Sounds like someones store is woefully backlogged on those updates.

Personally, most of the stores I've gone to have had their prices up to date. And, again, if anyone wants the 'old' version of MGS 3 for PS2, it should ring up to $14.99 now, since the new one is out.

And JoeFongul, was it Max Payne or Max Payne 2, as my one local Kmart has a copy of MP 2 in their one case.

BTW, has anyone checked the PS2 HDD lately, I wonder if that dropped with this months drop list.
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Sounds like someones store is woefully backlogged on those updates.[/QUOTE]


Even though they checked the UPC on the computer, do you think it would still be worth bringing in so they can scan it themselves?
 
Just came back from 2 kmarts and I picked up Mario Party 4/Wavebird Bundle, Viewtiful Joe 2, Soul Calibur 2, and F-Zero GX for a total of.. $13.25 WITH tax!!

Amazing!

I price checked Feel the Magic and it came up at $29.99.. :(
 
Wait, they didn't check it at the register?

That's what it takes sometimes, is to be checked AT the register.

I think I was one of a few who mentioned that the price guns are also sometimes off by ALOT on the prices.

Sometimes, it does take having the actual ITEM checked at the register before it will come up the right price.

I gave them the UPC and they checked it in the computer.
 
Well, at my K-Mart's unrelated clearance (converting to Sears Essentials, select games 50% off), the only things worthwhile were Hulk: UD and THAW for $20 (after discount), and all the DK games with bongos (1, 2, and Jungle Beat) for $20-$25. Sadly they appear to have dumped all the GBA SPs, but I probably wouldn't have bothered with them for resale even at 50% off.

They close in 8 days, so I will probably stop back there this weekend to see if they've done any further last minute reductions.
 
When I went to my Kmart (Concord, CA) early this week I saw Zoo Keeper regularly priced. I had the guy on-duty scan it at the register, and he told me he could only sell it for $19.99 (it obviously wasn't his department).

I went back last night, and a regular employee was telling me that basically, he can charge whatever he feels like, so he was like "how does 5 bucks sound?" and he green (chartreuse?) tagged it. I told him that other stores were selling it for $2, so he slapped another price tag on it.

He told me that no one really knows about these drops, and that they were even selling a GC game for $0.80- Conflict:desert storm. I picked that one up too.

It seems that when the prices drop this far, when they scan the games at the register it just shows up as "enter price." Do you all bump into this too? I got lucky, but I'd hate to have some employee arbitrarily mark stuff to whatever he feels like (like $9.99) and not sell for anything less. Any recommendations?

That's what happens in the next drop after a game hit its lowest price. Zoo Keeper bottomed out at $2 so the next round of drops kicked it out of the system. I think they're supposed to return them at that point. If you scan one of those at a self scanner it says "Check Shelf Label"

Correct, 2$ is the bottom out on many games, a few of the games listed on the list were at a local K-Mart in Columbus, GA--- but they were technically supposed to be returned (and thus was AWOL from the system). The guy asked how much it was on the list ($2) and gave it to me for that since he all my prices were correct otherwise. For the record, the guy who did that was also a "nice old man" who was just exicted I was getting stuff off the shelf. ;-) The game was Midway Arcade Treasures 2, which I already got my $2 out of playing Rampage World Tour. ;-)

How much did Viewtiful Joe 2 ring up?
 
I've also had problems trying to get Zookeeper. I managed to find one and the computer asked for a price. The employee just inserted what was on the old price tag ($19.99) so I said forget it.

I've been to 3 different K-Marts hoping to find WarioWare but no luck :(. I bought Soul Calibur II and Eye Toy Camera ($6) if anyone wants to trade. I can also get Eye Toy Groove.
 
Is $2.00 the lowest price drop a game like Soul Calibur II can get?

Saw a lone copy of Eye Toy Groove. Scanned at $3 although SCII just got a drop to $2 in the same store. Groove was $3 last month and it apparently didn't get a price drop.

How about $9.99 games? Did they get a drop?
 
While in Hollywood, FL, I found that the Kmart didnt have too much, I got F-Zero GP Legend and Wing Commander: Prophecy for the listed prices in the thread.

Now I'm back at school in Orlando, and the Kmart on the corner of Goldenrod and University Blvd was filled with stuff.

Here's my haul:
GBA:
Spyro Orange
F1 2002
Sonic Battle

DS:
Sprung

Xbox:
Men of Valor
Blinx 1
OutRun2
SSX 3
Conflict: Vietnam
Spyro: Hero's Tail
SHark Tale
Backyard Wrestling 2

Gamecube:
Starfox Adventures
Tiger Woods 2005
Street Racing Syndicate
Winnie the Pooh

PS2:
Bloodrayne 2
Athens 2004
Megaman X Command Mission
Megaman X8
Duel Masters
Gran Turismo 3
ATV Offroad Fury

Total: 23 games for $57.51 at just this one Kmart.

I got the last copies of a few games, but there were a few extras that I can't really remember. Anyone in the Orlando area might wanna check it out, the employees are real cool, I had this girl there for like an hour help me look through everything, she even picked up a few games for herself when her shift was over. She asked how I knew about this so I told her about CAG and how awesome it is.

You guys rock.

Edit: Oh yeah, my girlfriend got Splinter Cell and Soul Calibur 2 for the PS2 as well, $2 each.
 
Im glad to see that quite a few people dealt with some um..VERY unhelpful people at Kmart...

The 2 that I went to today..omg. ridiculous!! One lady was really like "...::YAWNS::" and didn't really help much.. and really didn't want to price check stuff lol..and at the other the guy was having a hard time with the frigin case..he couldn't even open one up!! Who knows what I missed out in that cabinet =(

Maybe I'll go back tomorrow and hope that SOME helpful people are around..

When I worked at Walmart in their electronics.. I was never THIS outta hand. I had my moments..but never gave people shit cuz of a price check!! (Only when I had to cary a 32 inch TV and my 5'5 140lb ass wasn't doin shit lol)

OHHH BTW. The one who couldn't get the case open.. well there was a PSone LCD screen (NOT the combo) and had an old tag of $129.99 and I asked if i can get a price check on that and he goes "Its $130" LOL
Yet, I bought F-Zero GX which had a $19.99 tag on it along with Soul Calibur 2 that had a $16.99 tag on it..and they both rang up at $2 (Mmmm clearance!!)

REALLY get mad with people!! Now I've worked in retail for many years..and I understand you get angry and bored etc..but..me and my friend were the ONLY 2 customers in that Dept.. so..yeah.

SIGH KMART

I've had some various customer service experiences at the many Kmarts I've trekked to. Mostly the cashiers didn't really want to help me with price checks but they didn't take too much convincing to actually get them to check them. No big deal. Deems the breaks.
 
I just recently joined the board and spotted this thread and was wondering if there was a time limit on how long things are on sale for.

They are on clearance which means they are marked down until sold or until removed from the system.
 
[quote name='eau']How much did Viewtiful Joe 2 ring up?[/QUOTE]

Hey sorry I just saw this reply to me.

Viewtiful Joe 2 rang up at $1.50
Soul Calibur 2 rang up at $2.
F-Zero GX rang up @ $2
Mario Party 4/Wavebird rang up at $7

+ 6% NJ sales tax = $13.25


Mmmm clearance!!! Really wanna get rumble roses..but the stupid clerk couldn't get some of the cases open, so I couldn't look behind any of them :(
 
Yeah the people at my K-mart are lazy ass or just incompetent...It took 3 employees to open the glass case....I was like damn, it will probably be closing time before they get to the other 2 cases i wanted to checkout...They also seem frustrated so i just didnt' bother checking out the other cases...

I was only able to score Mega Man Command & Wavebird/Mario 4 bundle...$9

How much did Sprung ring up?
 
Would someone pick me up a copy of Metal Gear Solid? I would gladly pay shipping + time. I've never played a Metal Gear game before, and I want to see what it's all about. Thanks.
 
Hey munch, I plan on getting out sometime this week again to a few Kmarts cuz Im going to see if I can pick up MGS:TS because like you I never played a MGS game and for $3.. hey, why not lol

If there's more then 1 I'll pick ya up a copy, so let's cross our fingers that:
1) There's ANY at all, let alone at least 2
2) The employee I get is more helpful then asking a blind man for directions...

I would really appreciate that man. If you want, you can PM me some of your wants and I'll see if my K-mart has them. They don't have much GCN stuff left, but they do have quite a bit of GBA, xbox, and PS2 games.
 
I got the prices on a few things adjusted.. or rather it was more of a return/rebuy. You only have 7 days from the date of purchase for an actual adjustment. The cashier was really nice though and did the return/rebuy with out hassle. All in all I got about $25 back from my purchases of Mario Party 4 w/ Wavebird, Custom Robo, MGS:TTS, and Mega Man BN 4: Red Sun. I am happy with that.

I was considering heading into electronics to get another Mario Party w/ Wavebird cuz for $7 getting a 4th controller is a great deal! Might still try that eventually. Is the Metroid Prime w/ Wavebird bundle the same price ($7)??
 
Thanks. Maybe I'll just get another MP4 w/ wavebird and give the game to someone or just trade/sell the game. I'm keeping one copy though.
 
What does the Wavebird combo look like? Is it a box like the Congo drums, like Link 4S or Odama box, or is it like a regular controller pack with a game on the side?

Looks like the regular plastic wavebird packaging + a game on the front with the whole thing covered in plastic wrap.
 
It kinda sucks about Mario Party 4 and Metroid is that they have "KMART EXCLUSIVE!" on it.. I'd say shit.. buy as many wavebirds you want, and trade in Metroid/Mario Party.. But i DOUBT GS/EB will take them.
 
Although.. say you don't have any wavebirds and you want 4 and you buy 4 Mario Party 4 bundles for $28..you take the 4 copies of Mario party..buy it now on eBay for $5 and sell all 4 you just got 4 Wavebirds for $8.. LOL

On another note: Can you trade in Wavebirds? If the trade in Value for Wavebird is decent (even if IS like $10) you can trade them in..sell Mario Party 4 on eBay and..hey make some good money (ok not good, but ya know)

Or you can just buy what you need :)
Me? I just needed 1 copy of Mario Party 4 and added a third Wavebird to the family

GS/EB hasnt complained when its had a Kmart/Target exclusive sticker or logo printed on the games for me yet.
 
I cleaned out all 8 of the wavebird/mp4 combos at my local kmart. I traded 6 wavebirds and 6 copies of mp4 in at various local eb/gs stores. I know that I could have gotten more on ebay, but I didn't want to deal with it. I was doubling my money anyway. As of last week, they were giving $7.00 credit for wavebirds and $11.00 credit for mp4.

Why wouldn't they take them? They're perfectly happy to sell games labeled "Not for Resale" and discs with permanent security stickers from other stores.
 
So many people with so many wavebirds! If anyone's feeling generous and wants to sell me a wavebird, give me a holler; all my Kmarts are picked clean, except for one Kmart which had one lonely copy of FFVII. I'll have to go back and buy it sometime if its still there.
 
got metal gear solid in iowa city. only game i saw from the list. shame. the cashier lady was like what when it rang up. i smiled showed her my list and she mumbled about someone not updating the stickers. i bet that someone was her but oh well. i just beat revolver ocelot for the first time so im happy. thanks guys!

uh, you should have bought that FFVII anyways. You can make money for it on ebay.

LOL, I was extremely lazy so I forgot about making money!:cold: I was more interested in getting the games I wanted to play.
 
Yea! My first CAG score.

Visited two local Kmarts (which I would have never thought to go to). Picked up Mega Man Command Mission (PS2) for $2. Star Fox Adventures (GC) for $2. Some eReader cards for .40 a piece. An EyeToy for $6. Silent Hill 2 (XBox) for $14. Metal Slug Advance (GBA) for $10. All for my gaming pleasure.

And then I went through and got eight games off the list for $2 a piece to take to EB/Gamestop to take advantage of their extra $10 trade in.

thanks guys
 
I bought some games in early june. Anybody knows if kmart will credit back the difference without any problems. I have opened most of the games. thanks
