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

A local Walmart has a bunch of games in bins that are marked down. What caught my eye was multiple copies of Batman VR in a bin labeled as "$10 PS4 games." I'm sure this is extremely YMMV, but I thought I'd share.

Do you price check or buy it to confirm it the $10 price? That would be a steal

 
Found these marked down to $5 each at Wally World. Department manager said she has about 7 more titles that will be the same price tomorrow. They are trying to make space for the newer games and holiday bundle packs[attachment=24162:IMG_8367.JPG]
 
Awesome prices on those 4 titles...would definitely get LEGO Jurassic World and Mad Max if I came across them for that price.
 
How strong would these be to help me with my fort castle?
I'd say you're gonna want those at a 4:1 ratio with the PS3s. (I'm glad this castle fort discussion is spanning the clearance threads.)

For some reason my Walmart pulled all of their copies of Bravely Second from the prison and put them on a regular floor shelf. They weren't marked down, but might be worth watching over the next few weeks because no other 3ds games seem to have gotten the same treatment. Of course this is the same store that has Metroid Other M for $30.

thank you for the structural engineering tip!! I realize they aren't as strong, but at a dollar:footage amount its hard to ignore.

 
Picked up a Couple of copies of Zoo Tycoon for XB1 for 5.00 each today in southern California. They must of had at least 15-20 more Zoo Tycoons and another 20 copies of Ryse standard edition for 5 as well. Plus a couple random low budget kinect games.
 
My store in 32607 had a bin full of games that were clearanced and then 50% off that price.  Lots of last gen stuff, hardly any Xbox One games.  They had tons of Battlefront PS4 copies that came out to $10, Tearaway PS4 for $7.50, and the Resistance trilogy for the same price. Last gen Watch Dogs, The Evil Within, Borderlands, and Destiny between $5 and $10 among other things

 
Not sure if this was posted. I just picked up Resident Evil 5 Xbox One for $10. Also saw Mighty No. 9 PS4 for $5, and The Technomancer/Carmagedden XB1 for $15. Passed because I heard Technomancher wasn't good.

All my WM's did heavy clearance over the past few months but seem to have really died down...definitely going to have to do some checking though with what some of you are finding!

 
My local store had price tags for XB1 Alien Isolation for $3 scattered on other games packaging, but no actual copies left. This store doesn't really do upkeep on their games section much, but it seems like a good deal if you can find it.

 
I want to say the store I got GTA V (PC) for $20 had more in stock... however the price was $39.xx

I didn't actually have them scan it or anything, however I'm wondering if there's more than one UPC for the PC version of the game? Also saw Skyrim Legendary for $20, however I think that's sorta just regular price, so not sure if that's a deal.

 
Went to a store that had 4 listed in stock. Checked the inventory while at the store, still said 4, didn't find any. Looked in the usual places.

edit - amazon has a listing for the hard drive and pictures, find that here.

Was able to get some of the 500 GB drives. Was looking high & low for them. Guy working department comes over ask if I'm looking for the PS drives on clearance. Says that they were marked down and was no way I would be able to get them since they were gone. Shrugged and said what can you do. Well I decided to go look at there all over the place clearance isles. Sure enough all three are there behind some skylanders stuff. Was thrilled because WM clarence is feast or famine here. Thanks for posting ! :)
 
the Walmart I went got at least half a dozen of these hard drive inside the display case. only need 1 to go with the cheapo 12gb ps3 i picked up at Target

My Walmart had one of the PS3 HDs also for $12. If anyone wants one and can't find it locally, let me know - willing to pick it up and sale for cost plus S/H.

They also have a couple Slingbox M1s on clearance for $20 so same deal there...
 
Thanks for the heads up on the hard drive.  I picked up two.  I might keep one as a spare for my ps3 or ps4 and I'll use the other to fix a laptop.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but found a few of these at my closest walmart tonight. I picked one up to keep as a backup and left 3 or 4.

Guitar Hero Live bundles for $30. X1, 360, PS4, and Wii U. Standard Xbox One controller $40. Star Wars Vader Xbox One controller $20.
 
Well...Brickseek shows my Walmart had the HDs for $.23. I figured I had to check it out for myself.

So it was correct but after a lot of questions on their part the electronics manager determined they had been recalled by the manufacturer and should have been pulled. They had three and I told them I'd take them, sales final no returns but they declined.
