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

Thats a nice one, i just carry around my barcodes on little pieces of paper, it works for me but its a little confusing.

I wish someone would post the barcodes for donkey konga 2 with bongos (the box with bongos) there are 2 of these at my kmart and i dont know the price.
 
[quote name='wampa8jedi']Went to my local store today and checked some prices (as well as bought some games)

Advent Rising $5
Ridge Racer DS $2
Goldeneye Rogue Agent $2
Pikmin 2 $2
Time Crisis 3 with Guncon 2 $59.99 :([/QUOTE]

Picked up Ridge Racer DS and Spider-Man 2 DS, $2 each
 
I bought these games a few weeks ago and ended up returning/rebuying whatever dropped in price:

Sly Cooper 2 $4 (originally $8)
Ratchet and Clank Going Commando $4 (originally $8)
Mechassault 2 $2 (originally $6)
Time Crisis: CZ $6 (originally $18)

These games didn't drop in price:
Zelda: WW $8 (same price)
Mario Golf $8 (same price)
Luigi's Mansion $8 (same price)

I also scanned a printed UPC for Zelda 4 Swords (which was out of stock) and it came up as $10, so I think this was one of the games that went up in price.

Does anyone know which Devil May Cry is on clearance? I saw DMC3:SE in the display case but couldn't find anyone to scan it for me.
 
Here's a small report that might be useful to those in the Cincinnati, N. Kentucky area:

K-Mart in Crestview Hills area on Dixie Highway

- Several games marked down to under $10 range, lots of PS2, several Xbox, some DS and GC.
- PSP games were marked down, but not nearly enough. Some launch titles were $25+!
- Many $4 games and some $1.50 games.
- Several Taiko Drum Masters for PS2 for $5!

I bought Urbz and Namco Museum for $4, and ESPN 2K5 for $1.50. Thinking of getting the Drum Master for $5, but it is pretty loud... and my neighbors complain already.

Anyway, I dind't pay much attention to non-PS2, but if you are in the area of this store, it might warrant a visit.
 
[quote name='kevzik']Made up this little barcode sheet, maybe it will be useful to some. We all should just come uop with a new main list.

[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the barcodes !! If you or anyone else has any more barcodes they would like to share I would greatly appreciate it. Nice work Kevzik !!!
 
From the KS CAG thread

KMart on Santa Fe in Lenexa (Olathe?) (9.12) - Found a copy of Ridge Racer DS for $2. Wasn't really looking for it but for $2, maybe it's time to try another racer to wash NFSMW out of my mouth for the DS. Didn't see any other copies. Also, there was a Platinum Hits KOTOR which I picked up for $4, also the only copy. In the case, picked up an EyeToy Groove with the EyeToy included marked for $15, but it rang up for $5- there was another copy in the case but you have to try and find someone to let you into it which can be a challenge there. Still, 3 games for less than $12 and this is quickly becoming one of my favorite stores :)

SI
 
Got the following tonight:

:ds: Ridge Racer $2

:gba: E-Reader $4

:gc: Donkey Konga 1 w/ Bongos $5 (x2).

When the clerk rang up the DKs, he called a manager after they rang up so low. He looked at me like I was stealing :)

All the Milwaukee County (WI) KMarts are dry, except for a few of the $2-4 Xbox games at each store and 3 E-readers left at S. 27th St.
 
Got:

Mercenaries XB $2
Soul Calibur II XB $2
Tom Clancy Trilogy XB $4
Getaway BM PS2 $3
Mechassault 2 XB $2
some other $2 xbox title, can't remember

Anyway, finally got in on the Kmart clearance.
 
Ya know, at $5 a pop, Taiko might be worth a shot for me now. Same with Knights of the Boring Republic, which I previously bought from GS/EB for $12 and promptly returned the next day because I was bored with it.

However, knowing my local Kmarts they're probably not even in stock at the stores anymore. Then again, they still have a buttload of games from the LAST list, which all ring up 'check shelf label' anymore.
 
Picked these up today:
:ps2: Legion The Legend Of Excalibur $5
:ps2: The Haunted Mansion $7.50
:xbox: Advent Rising $5
:xbox: Chronicles Of Riddick $2 (was Price Required but I talked the guy into $2):)
:xbox: LOTR 3rd Age $2
:xbox: Oddworld Stranger's Wrath $3
:xbox: Spyro A Hero's Tale $2 (same deal as Riddick)
:ds: Feel The Magic $3

And a bunch of E-reader cards for .39 each. Also found a King's Field for PS2 at $10 and FF Dawn Of Souls was still $8 along with Zelda WW, Mario Golf Toadstool Tour, and Luigi's Mansion being $8 as well.

I'm doing another Kmart inventory soon, so I'll update prices afterwards. My only theory about the wacky price changes lately is maybe the systems are getting screwed up as they're converting a bunch of Kmarts to Sears Essentials and Grands? Just a thought.;)
 
Gawd I hate this store. Found a couple clearance games that might be cool pick ups and asked three different employees that walked by the video game section if I could get the case opened. All three said they would either get someone or be right back. After waiting about 20 minutes just milling about the area I finally said 'f this' and left.

It's such a wonder why they nearly went out of business. :roll:

So are you the guy who is doing crap in electronics, and when i ask for help he says "Oh, i don't work here" :)
 
[quote name='shiningslade']LMAO, no I don't frequent the Kmarts in your area too often, although I think I'll be in Scranton next week.[/quote]
Heh, i didn't mean him in particular.

On a thread related note - i went to the K-mart i know is on the ball with price drops and got a bunch of $2 games.
However, a few from some lists rang up more than expected.

Metroid Prime was $10 for me. Tom Clancy trilogy was 20.
 
I scanned a few more barcodes, here's the prices I got

Pokemon Ruby $17.00
Sonic Advance 3 $2.00
Donkey Kong Country 2 $15.00
Metroid Prime Pinball $24.00
True Swing Golf $24.00
Ms Pac-Man Maze Madness $6.00
Rayman DS $10.00
Asphault Urban GT $10.00
Eye Toy Groove with Camera $3.00

Damn, that is a nice haul!
 
UPDATE: Games have not been marked up. This is a computer glitch at corporate, which explains why some stores are waiting to mark items down until afters its fixed. Sorry, I dont have much more info than that. Will try and get more information.

Thanks for that clarification. I was getting worried it was going to be very YMMV on all games now but hopefully this is just a temporary issue.

Legend of Zelda, The: Four Sword Adventures (for the GameCube) with a GBA link cable included (UPC 045496961978) is $2.00 (as of Sept 14)
 
Are these games labled with the correct price or do you have to get them scanned? I went today hoping to find a Donkey Konga with the bongos for $5. Not surprisingly, they didn't even have it in stock. They did have Donkey Konga without the bongos for $25. Forget that.

$2?? For the love of God, someone *please* hook me up! :)
 
The sticker prices for the games I sought were most definitely incorrect, and I requested that they be scanned to check the prices first. The $2 LoZ:FSA was actually labelled at $49.99, and...

Legend of Zelda, The: Wind Waker, The (for the GameCube), Player's Choice packaging (UPC 045496960469) is still $8.00 (as of Sept 14)

...while labelled as $19.99
 
[quote name='Nate512']I just got back from my Kmart and they had some nice markdowns i picked up.

PS2: The Getaway Black Monday $3
GCN: Metroid Prime $2
DS: Metroid Prime Pinball $3


Thanks OP for this thread again! :)[/quote]

Could you get me a copy of Metroid Pinball?
 
[quote name='pinebarrens']Argh. I was there the night before you looking for RR and was unable to find it. Where were they hiding all that stuff? I looked for KOTOR too.[/quote]
Those were out in the bins on the counter at electronics. I was surprised to see anything worthwhile in there because when I went about a week ago, there wasn't much in there. Just got put out that day, I guess. The EyeToy game was in the glass case and marked to $15 but rang up $5 so I was pleasantly surprised. Still was a copy there when I left.

SI
 
[quote name='YoshiFan1']Was a price posted for Beatmania? I looked and didn't see it mentioned anywhere.[/quote]

My bad, I was thinking something else and put that instead of taiko drum master. I tried to edit it before anybody seen my mistake, lol.
 
Half the games i scanned and expected to be $2 rang up as $10 (Metroid, SF: Anni, Tom clancy...etc). I guess this glitch is doing it - I did get Time Crisis :CZ for $6 and Harry Potter : PA for $3. Also return and rebought LoZ:4 swords $10 -> $2.

Guess i should mention the Time Crisis : CZ is up for trade, along with Zelda : 4 swords, simpsons: road rage, and harry potter.
 
I scanned some more barcodes tonight, prices were pretty much the same as mentioned in previous posts, dk jungle beat with bongos is still scanning not in system, feel the magic went from 15$->9$, zelda minish cap was 15$ true swing golf 24$ and pokemon fire red 17$.
 
I guess I also encountered the glitch. I found a copy of Ridge Racer and TC: CZ at one K-Mart(for trade) and both rang up correctly. However, Donkey Konga and Zelda: 4 Swords rang up @ $25 and $10 at another location.
 
Arg, picked a few games I wanted, all rang up for around $20 more than they should have (Metroid Pinball, Pikmin 2, etc.). I did, however, get Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando for $4.
 
Just came back with these:
E T Matrix ps2 $2
lotr rotk ps2 $4
lotr rotk gc $2
lotr rotk xb $2
getaway ps2 $3
feel the magic $3
nba live 2005 gc $3

the rest were $4 each
nba & nfl street
hot shot golf fore
namco museum xbox
pacman world 2
nfs underground xbox

Scanned DK 1 and 2 with bongos $25 and $40 still
 
Alright, who beat me to the Berwick, PA store tonight??:bomb::cry:
The girl working electronics told me someone came in and got clearance games out of every case. And it had to have been between 5-7pm as she started at 5.
 
Ok, here is the most recent list from the inventory I did at yesterdays store. I realize some prices may be lower, but due to the system glitch and limited title selection in this store, the other titles remained unchanged. I've put all prices that have dropped in BOLD. And I've added a few titles not on the previous lists and labeled them as . I'll update more prices as I confirm them. I have another inventory coming up in 2 weeks. Enjoy the list and use it well!;)
