Changing this to a FAQs for those that need some help getting these deals.


When I order online it shows X price for in store, but changes to Y price at checkout, what gives?
You can only do in store pickup for the clearance price if the item is available for pick up that day. If it isn't the price will be the online price instead. Sometimes the item will be shipped to that store if it is no longer at that store. It may adjust to the clearance price at pickup but it could also charge you full price for it.

Can I buy the item at one store and return / rebuy at another?
Yes but it is up to the stores discretion to allow you to get it for that stores in store price. If it is an online order, they are supposed to return it to the warehouse it came from so you will not be able to buy it back. It's YMMV on employees following this rule though.

Can I price match a Walmart clearance item at X store?
No. No store, including Walmart, PMs clearance prices. YMMV on getting PMs for these items but it is against every stores policy to do so.

I want to price match this clearance item at another Walmart, will they allow me to?
No WM (or any retailer) PMs the prices of other local stores.

BS said X of an item is in stock, but the employee said it isn't at my store, why did they lie to me?
They didn't. Sometimes items are misplaced, stolen, or the count is off. Employees are not all over the massive stock room nor do they know where every item is. Don't harass an employee or come on here saying they are keeping it for themselves. Sometimes, an item truly isn't in the store.

Why is BS always wrong?
BS is not wrong. Their information is directly from WM systems. Just like all stores, inventory and prices may be wrong for a certain store. Do not rely only on BS.

How do I find clearance items?
Go to the store and scan items, check SD, check this thread. Actually look for something you want.

Where in the store are clearance games located?

Clearance items in general can be on shelves, in dedicated clearance sections or in the stock room. For games specifically, they will be in the videogame glass cases, videogame value game isle or dedicated clearance section. It's random and depends on that stores layout / management.

What is the SKU or item number of this item?
Look it up yourself. There is a search function on this site, on BS site and you can Google the item almost 100% of the time. No one needs to spoon feed you this information and we shouldn't have 20 people asking for the same information that was already posted.


Acronyms to know.
WM = Walmart
PM = Price Match
TRU = Toysrus
BS = Brickseek
SD = Slickdeals

Finally got a copy of Mario and Sonic Rio 2016. My sister-n-law sent me a text with a pic of the game saying "is this the Olympic game you are looking for?" And I couldn't help but smile ear to ear. Of all people to find it for me :)
 
Drove to walmart next town over & went back to my local one to pick up an extra wii u pro controller since couple of days ago they had 3 but of course they were gone Had lots of wii u games including pink yoshi bundle but I got lady working there to scan it and still $39.88. Dry run all way around other than I did pick up 8 bit link amiibo for $6.00.

Is $30 a good deal on New Super Mario Bro Wii U + Luigi????

Or should I wait?
Grab it if it's there. I don't think this will become a nintendo select title. There is a chance nintendo store may have it on sale some time in the future but I don't see this one at B&M too often outside of gamestop and at least you know this copy is new

 
Yeah, I was very thankful to find it. Why's it so rare, low production run?
I wouldn't say it had a terribly low production run as people are still finding multiple copies sitting in stores and there are sellers with multiple copies online. I think the current price has more to do with collecting speculation than anything else.

 
Went to a Walmart about 45 min. (was in area already) from my house yesterday that showed 4 of the CoD X1 controllers in stock for $25. Employee verified 4 in stock on handheld and walked away for 20 min. to "check the back". She came back out with 1 which is all I was wanting. Happy to have found it even though I don't need a 4th controller lol.

I was expecting her to come back empty handed since she said "so that $70 controller is on sale for $25? Oh I'm sure there are none back there". I told her she already said the system showed 4 so I expect her to be able to find 1 of them.
 
Two games on one disc. I was curious about it too before picking it up.

SKU ?

 
The Walmart app says my store has the Ocarina of Time Link amiibo in stock and Brickseek claims a QTY of 5 but when I went last night there were none on the shelf and the guy came up empty-handed when he went in the back. I didn't have the UPC with me when I went. Do you think that would help someone find it more easily?

That makes sense, especially with people predicting that the Wii U will become the next Dreamcast.

The BS website should be able to prove the UPC. It's reversed though (white on black) so the scanner may not read it, but they can type it in.

It may be with a bunch of random clearance. That's where it is at one of my stores.

I looked through all the clearance sections I could find, but maybe I missed them. There's another WM not too far away that's supposed to have a couple. I'm going to try there tonight. If that doesn't work I'll go back to my store with the UPC and see what I can find. Thanks!

 
still showing 2 wii u pro controllers locally but they didnt have a spot on the shelf for them and there were no employees around at all. nothing in the clearance area either, probably sitting somewhere in the back gathering dust.

 
Grabbed...

Wario (Mario Party) Amiibo $6

Shovel Knight (Wii U) $7

Wish one of the stores close to me had it for the 3DS instead.

Passed on 8-bit Link, he's pretty fugly.

Here's the UPC code for Twilight Princess HD...

045496903763

Still $60 everywhere near me.
I seen one of these at my nearby store. The box was smashed to hell, brickseek is showing full price, and now I see 0 quantity. Makes me wonder what it sold for being in such bad shape.

 
Saw a NBA2K13 for WiiU and wouldve grabbed it but the cover was quite sunfaded and it looked like ut may have been resealed

 
I picked up the Division for PC for $15 at Walmart. Great game now that they fixed it and they're releasing their year 2 content starting today.

 
Can anyone verify if these are the correct UPCs for Smash link, Toon Link, and Ocarina Link?

Smash - 045496891701
Toon - 045496891893
Ocarina - 045496893071
