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

[quote name='botticus']I'm pretty sure you can get a hell of a lot more than $5 for Mario Party 4.[/quote]

I bought a few combos to sell on Ebay, selling the game and controller individually. For the ones I've sold, the controller and game are selling for about $20 each, so you could definitely buy the combo, sell Mario Party, and still make a little money.
 
[quote name='SpottedNigel']GS/EB hasnt complained when its had a Kmart/Target exclusive sticker or logo printed on the games for me yet.[/quote]
Same.
 
[quote name='chior']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[/QUOTE]
Not likely. KMart doesn't do price adjustments, so you'd have to return/rebuy. Since you've opened them you'd have to find a very sympathetic CSR.
 
My cashier was so cool today! Some of the games rang up without a price so I showed him my list and he matched it exactly! He said he just wanted to get rid of the games. 9 games for $18.75 = GIGGIDDY
 
I want to thank you guys here at CAG for giving me the good word on these awesome deals. I have about 10 K-Marts within a mile radius and have gotten tremendous deals on tons of games. MGS-Twin Snakes, Zoo Keeper, Onimusha 3, Thief III, F-Zero (GC and GBA), and Mega Man BN4 just to name a few. Hopefully I can get in on a few of the other deals. Once my initial 30 days are up I hope to get a trade page listed as well. Thank again :D :D :D
 
Edit: wrong thread somehow. Thought I was in the CC thread.

Anyway, the K-Marts around here suck for finding old games...I think it's because they actually mark their clearance games at clearance price.
 
Crap!!!! I got charged $5 for the Fight Night 04 game, because this last round of drops kicked it out of the system and the cashier entered in the price on the last sticker when the display said 'price requested' or something similiar.
 
Robotech:Invasion(PS2) $2 YMMV, as I went to another Kmart and the cashier PC'ed the copy at her store. And I think it rang up to like $19.99 or so.

I bought a copy for PS2 a couple days ago for $2, when it was marked last with a $16 price sticker.
 
Man, still not getting much of anything. I've hit 5 or so K-Marts, and all I've gotten is Dark Cloud 2, Theif, Soul cal 2, and 2 MGS:TS.

I also saw Siren for $9. Don't think that has been mentioned yet.
 
Found a few things at the store here -- unfortunately they wouldn't sell Zoo Keeper or Midway Arcade Treasures since they rang up in the system that they needed to enter a price.
 
Picked up for gamecube Wavebird w/ Mario Party 4, Street Racing Syndicate, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within all for about $16, thanks OP. Scanned Megaman Anniversary Collection for PS2, no price in the register, guy didn't want to give it to me. :(

Went to a K-Mart up above Lancaster, PA. Found Baten Kaitos, not much else though. Mario Golf: Advance Tour was ringing up at 19.99 :cry: Then in the case beside the register I saw them. Two, count'em 2 FFXI w/ HDD for $10. This thread rocks:bouncy:
 
Floridians: Davie Kmart(595 and University) is overFLOWING with old games. I grabbed Starfox Adventures, Baten Kaitos, Thief, and Metroid Zero Mission there for less than $10(counting discount).

They had a ton of older games that I ignored since I wasn't interested. They even had Shadow Hearts: Covenant there, which I didn't even think we carried.

They're in the middle of renovation, so it's a mess, but they still have a lot of stuff.
 
LOL Paddlefoot, no wonder the ONE HDD my local Kmart(Moosic, PA) had disappeared.

Hell, at $10, I'd have even grabbed it, even though I only have a slim PS2 these days.

I could've bought a used PS2 from the indy shop I go to in Wilkes Barre and put both up at a 'cheap' price of $100.

Oh well.......

I may go back to the Moosic Kmart, as they had some other games from the list, but I always seem to forget the list when I'm going to the store.
 
w00t! I finally found some stuff!!!

Is this the K-Mart off of Fruitville Pike/283/ around there? I was there several times since the last drop, and cleaned them pretty much out (around 10-13 games or so I got). Definitely didn't see a Baten Kaitos and DEFINITELY not a FFXI w/ HDD if this is the place. Damn.

My desire for this grows each day.

I will ask one more time: Will someone PLEASE hook me up with one?
 
i went 30 miles out of my way to checkout 2 k-marts(Lakewood & Tacoma)The only thing i found was Zoo Keeper but the lady wants to sell it for $19.99...What a waste of time & gas...I was hoping to get a wavebird/mario bundle...Anybody else from Washington? If so which places should i not bother going?
 
This keeps getting better, my kmart finally hit the price drops and i cleaned up once again, i think i have almost entirely picked this entire store clean myself except for the higher priced items.

I got baten kaitos gcn x2 3$ each
street racing syndicate gcn x2 3$ each
f-zero gx gcn - 2$
jak II ps2 - 2$
wario ware gcn 3$ (this was like the ultimate find for me as i wanted this badly! and i did not see it the last time i was in kmart!)
 
Reston, VA Kmart is still showing everything on the list (that I could find) as $19.99...at least in the gun. I couldn't be arsed to request a register check (on my lunch). :boxing:

Print some UPCs next time and use the self service scanners.
 
I've said it before n I'll say it again, the self check scanners don't always bring up the right price.

And, why not go on whatever free time you have, soyverde?

I mean, I know how it is to sometimes have to rush to get things done.

I know what you mean. I went to a Kmart about 25 miles away and it had NADA, Zilch. I was like WTF! I was better off going to my 2 local Kmarts, but now they are cleaned out. Oh well........

I checked out the one on Aurora/99 near Shoreline, WA last Saturday, and there appeared to be no clearance items what-so-ever. As well, what was available was tucked in a case making it hard to discern if any of the pricing had been marked down.
 
I swear K-mart employees are just as bad as Walmart...They have that Lazy & Dumb personality you just love from customer sales/service...I think qualification to work in the Electronics department is to be capable of opening game case within a 5 min period...I still want to go back to my local K-mart but i'm afraid the employee might fry their brain opening two cases...
 
LOL I went back to where I found Baten Kaitos the other night earlier tonight and double checked to make sure I hadn't missed any cheap games.

They still have 3 copies of Baten Kaitos left in the case, as well as one copy of Tiger Woods 2005 for GC.

My one buddy tried out BK tonight and well, its definitely NOT my type of game.

I like the graphics and all, its a beautiful game, but the whole 'select a card/ turn based' thing isn't my cup of tea.

I'm just glad I only paid about $3 for it, so I really don't care, its not like I paid $49.99 for it.

Anyway, my one friend wanted to go on a trip out of the area tomorrow, figured we would head towards State College, PA area. I may stop in the Columbia Mall, where I snagged 5+ copies of the MGS Snake Eater guide from the EB there for free a while back.

And along the way, I'm going to be finding any and all Kmart and EB/GS and Best Buy stores. LOL I figure, why waste all that mileage, when I can make a good CAG trip out of it too.

EDIT: The pricing gun brought up the right prices, when I had the clerk check Maxc Payne 2 and a couple other games in the case tonight at the Kmart in Scranton on Route 6.
 
W T fuck !! The 2 k-marts(petaluma,santa rosa) havent changed any of their prices. baiten kaitos is still $7.00(petaluma), santa rosa hasnt even changed from the first markdowns. i will still keep checking :bomb:
 
[quote name='Biglesworth23']Is this the K-Mart off of Fruitville Pike/283/ around there? I was there several times since the last drop, and cleaned them pretty much out (around 10-13 games or so I got). Definitely didn't see a Baten Kaitos and DEFINITELY not a FFXI w/ HDD if this is the place. Damn.[/quote]


Nah, I went to the one on Fruitville Pike and there was nothing there except for a couple half decent games. The one I went to was in Willow Street. BTW now I know why the fruitville pike CC was cleaned out.. lol
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']I've said it before n I'll say it again, the self check scanners don't always bring up the right price.
[/QUOTE]
Eh, it's never been the case for me. I'm not doubting it's happened to others on occasion, but over the course of this sale I hit four stores in two states with a printed bar code list of something like 200 games and never once had an inaccurate price. I feel very comfortable recommending it, and it certainly can't hurt. Since you know what the price should be for most games you can tell very quickly if your scanner will be inaccurate.
 
Woohoo!

I hit up a new Kmart, and probably the last one anywhere closeby. I thought they had nothing and was all ready to leave, and then I saw a lone MP4/Wavebird combo. I was so happy.

Not only that, but the casher gave me $3.53 back when the game was $7.47 or whatever and I gave her a $10. They can take that extra dollar out of the one SOB 's paycheck who refused to price check my games.
 
(I'm forming a line after Z-Saber..) I am also definitely interested in FF XI w/ HDD for $10 also (plus shipping etc) if someone would be willing. PM me if so..
 
Ok, I just cannot stop myself from going to different Kmarts!!! So far I've hit all of these stores:
Poughkeepsie, NY (2 different locations) Both Locations-GOLD
Vails Gate (Newburgh), NY --DUD
Mahopac, NY --GOLD
Yorktown Heights, NY --HALF & HALF
Matamoras, PA --HALF & HALF
Easton, PA --GOLD
Walnutport, PA --ABSOLUTE DUD!
East Stroudsburg, PA --DUD
Mount Pocono, PA --DUD
Honesdale, PA --ABSOLUTE DUD
Wind Gap, PA --ABSOLUTE DUD
Paramus, NJ --GOLDMINE CITY!!
Westwood, NJ --GOLD
Wayne, NJ --ABSOLUTE DUD
Elmwood Park, NJ --HALF & HALF
Watertown, CT --DUD
Waterbury, CT --DUD
Southbury, CT --DUD

I'm sure I'm missing a couple but I can't remember all of them! Anyway, for the most part I've hit these stores up when I'm around the surrounding areas for work. I guess I'm a pretty dangerous CAG'er as I may hit up a store near you soon!! I've also labeled each store above as a DUD if it had near nothing or GOLD if I scored a bunch of stuff.

Why thank for your courtesy.

If I had a trade list, this would be number one on it.
 
LOL Shining Slade, I thought about going towards Poughkeepsie on Saturday, instead of heading towards central PA. But, I guess you cleaned out those stores already, huh??

My one friend(who took me all over for those umpteen guides I have) wanted to 'get away for a while', so we headed towards State College, PA.

And, btw, where the heck is the Kmart in Newburgh? I ask, because when I was up there on business(auto auction), I only found the Wal*Mart and the Newburgh Mall. Well, and this lil rinky dink community thrift shop that had nothing good at all.

When I was going nuts over penny guides for a while, I grabbed some copies of the Destroy All Humans guide from the Kingston, NY Best Buy, as well as a couple other guides.

Also, did ya leave anything in Poughkeepsie, as I have to head back to NY on the 19th of this upcoming month for the traffic ticket I got while on the way to Monticello at the start of June.

I figure, if ya did leave SOMETHING, I'll head up there earlier and take a spin to Poughkeepsie.

I may hit Berwick, Pa this week sometime, unless you already hit it...... LOL

Anyway, just wondering about the Newburgh Kmart, as I said, I've never seen it.
 
[quote name='paddlefoot']Went to a K-Mart up above Lancaster, PA. Found Baten Kaitos, not much else though. Mario Golf: Advance Tour was ringing up at 19.99 :cry: Then in the case beside the register I saw them. Two, count'em 2 FFXI w/ HDD for $10. This thread rocks:bouncy:[/QUOTE]

assuming that you purchased the hdd for ten,how about posting the receipt so i and other cag members can try a pricematch? my local sears had one for 50,but ten sounds a hella lot better...
 
I hit up a Kmart that hadn't updated prices several days ago, while other, closer ones, had. They STILL hadn't updated, but that turned out to be a good thing, except for not being able to snag BK and MGS Twin Snakes for less than the $7 they still came up at. I was able to get Conflict Vietnam and Driver 3 for $2 each. Since those will come up "no price" once they update I probably would have been offered them for the wonderful tagged prices of $19.99 had they updated.

The clerks were impressed that I was able to pull those 2 games out and know they were $2. They said I should eBay them, as that's what they would do. Oh, the poor fools... Little do they know how worthless these games are :D. (BTW, I intend to use them for the EB trade-in deal). I WILL get that BK and MGSTS some day. Is it possible they will NEVER update though?

Heh, sorry about that. Like I said, I think I got about 10-13 games from there. Mega Man Battle Network 4 Red and Blue for GBA, Twin Snakes, Street Racing Syndicate, and a few others.

I think I'm done hitting K-Marts for now. There is one somewhat near me (I'm in Middletown, the Lancaster K-Mart is about 20-25 minutes away) in Columbus or Columbia or something like that. I've gotten two sets of directions to it on Mapquest, but the one is confusing as hell with like 20 turns, and the other makes it so it's only a distance of 10 miles away.. but takes 45 minutes to get to. lol

so what exactly did you end up getting...
 
Quick question about the $3.50 controller/game bundle, it's the wireless one right? I saw the wireless blue controller with Spiderman and it rang up $31.49, is it a different one? Or did it really drop $28 right away and they haven't updated to the new prices yet?
 
SRQ K-Mart on the corner of 41 and Beneva is a dud location.

The other K-Mart in the SRQ (corner of Beneva and Fruitville), unsure of that one, but I think its also cleaned out.
