[quote name='shrike4242']Only start a thread like this if you plan to be the one who updates the OP. If you're unwilling or unable to do that, don't make a thread.[/quote] Indeed. These clearance threads are a major responsibility. A lot of time goes into making them coherent, comprehensive, and up to date. Which is why I will never start one. :x

Does K-Mart usually have a major clearance in the spring/summer like Circuit City, TRU, etc? Perhaps we should wait until then to fire up another.
 
Not to be an ass but...this thread is already a failure. An OP with the necessary information is kind of the lifeline of it all. As things are now, it's useless.

*Edit -Now that the OP was changed to show the games/prices this isn't too bad. Hopefully you're able to maintain this thread as the list changes and as the posts increase, gotech. If you're able to keep everything together to the extent of the last thread then major kudos to you.
 
We should really just prod shiningslade to repost his list. They do monthly clearances and I like seeing what people find, so yes, we should get this thread started back up again, but shiningslade should come out and do it.
 
LOL After the old one being closed when he kept saying he was waiting for the next drops to start a new thread, I seriously doubt you guys will be able to 'prod' him to do anything of the sort.

I'm still keeping tabs on certain games I want, but none of them have hit my magic price point yet.

If you guys can't get either ShiningSlade or MightySlacker to redo a Kmart thread, might I suggest reposting the list from the now closed thread and asking for the help of other CAGs to verify when/if new drops and new games hit that list?

Just a suggestion...
 
the only problem I have with these thread is that southern california kmarts seem to refuse to lower their prices so its useless to me unless somebody can find me a kmart which does sell their games for these prices
 
Well then let's at least do that, have people update what they found. Then we all at least know when the next price drops are. And then if any of the Kmart employees are willing to help, great.

Haha I've never been refused. That would really suck. Half the time they are even super helpful and will let me scan a lot of random games.
 
I'm behind you OP, don't listen to these chump nay-sayers and other hecklers.

Nice to see someone taking the initiative to start a fresh thread after constant bitching from a few posters that the other thread was too long, too hard to read and too out of date... ironically some of the same who are quick to voice their concerns with a relative unknown picking up the ball :lol:
 
While it would be great to see a whole new thread with someone dedicated to updating it I still would like to at least see a normal discussion thread going for this.

I don't find deals checking the first post on monster threads. I find them by reading the latests finds by the single posters. Since this thread now has some kind of contract and detailed job description the OP must sign are we not even going to be granted that?
 
Soo all these prices should work at my K-mart unless if it says ymmv?
It always seems like my k-marts jacks up prices.
 
I would REALLY like to buy a new copy of Zelda Minish cap from someone who can actually find it, but not only do some of these prices seem YMMV...but the games are hard to find (in my experience)

Could possibly be right about this.
Who did the old thread and are they willing to do it again?
That would be me, and I may be willing if people stop their whining & complaining. It seems like no matter how hard someone tries to contribute anything to this website, there's always someone unhappy or ungrateful. I put a lot of time into making sure the old thread was updated to the best of my knowledge and also digging up new games I'd found at stores by randomly scanning them. Quite frankly it's a major pain in the ass but I did enjoy doing it until some of you started getting cranky.
Well then let's at least do that, have people update what they found. Then we all at least know when the next price drops are. And then if any of the Kmart employees are willing to help, great.
Well the only Kmart employee that we know of is Country4687. Now the other problem with updating what people found is the YMMVness of certain games. For example, the last thread had Medievil Resurrection for PSP posted at $4. However that same game also scanned much higher for other people (including myself at different Kmart's) I think it was $35, I can't remember exactly. My point is, unless the OP monitor's what people post on prices, it's going to really confuse many CAG's on here. Look at the Target thread if you don't understand my logic. That one's a BIG clusterfuck of random prices on the same titles & no one really updates it.
I'm behind you OP, don't listen to these chump nay-sayers and other hecklers.

This is the attitude & ungratefulness that I was referring to earlier. It's not needed, and IMO this person can go find clearance games on his own. As far as being too hard to read & too out of date, I have no idea why you'd say that. I updated that thread constantly with new stuff all the time. If a week or more went by without updates, that meant there was nothing new to post. I also dare say that I am the only one who has started a clearance post which included UPC's which I believe has been very helpful for some people. So if you have a problem with reading numbers then I suggest you re-take math or reading, whatever. That thread was the most organized of any others that have been on here & I'm sure many others would agree. Enough with you now...
I don't find deals checking the first post on monster threads. I find them by reading the latests finds by the single posters. Since this thread now has some kind of contract and detailed job description the OP must sign are we not even going to be granted that?
That was the beauty of the old thread, if you did check the 1st post it was updated with other people's findings for the most part. (including the date added) There may have been a couple here and there that I neglected to list, but no one's perfect.
Soo all these prices should work at my K-mart unless if it says ymmv?
It always seems like my k-marts jacks up prices.
Great example of why this thread won't work. If you go back & look at the old thread, most of these types of questions are answered right there in the 1st post of the OP. Kind of like a FAQ if you want to call it that.
 
It's not a clearance deal per se, but I did find a decent deal at K-Mart yesterday. I stumbled over a single copy of Haunting Ground for PS2...had a $14.99 generic sticker on the front, and the game's barcode on the back was covered over with a new barcode sticker that made it ring up $14.99. Without sticker, it rang up $39.99 (I checked at a price-scanner. :D). I grabbed it since I haven't had good luck finding a deal on this one.
 
Hooray! it's back. My favorite clearance retailer of 2006 has its thread back, thanks OP!

Anyway, one item to add to the OP is the Xbox 360 12 Month Premium Gold Pack for either $38 or $24 (both clearanced from the original $59.99 or whatever it was). I just got one for $24 the other day.

UPC is 882224058674

Other than that, I keep finding things like Drill Dozer ($3), Feel The Magic ($3), and Rainbow Six Lockdown Xbox ($2). Much of the other stuff is gone. I'm anxiously awaiting the next drop though as there are a ton of decent games in the $8-$12 range right now.

The list I printed from the last thread has been invaluable for my trips to Kmart as I have even forgotten about games I've bought in the past ;).

I disagree to a certain extent about the YMMV aspect. It isn't as bad as Target - Kmart tends to have only two possible prices. For example, the Xbox Live kit at $24 or $38. Or Advance Wars Dual Strike at $9 or $34.99. So it wouldn't be too hard to modify the prices from the original thread with something like this:

Advance Wars DS: $9/$34.99

If there are 3 prices (rare, but we have seen it) just add another in. Any lower prices shouldn't *replace* the higher price, but just be shown as a possibility. The UPC database that we had in that thread was invaluable as well (given the YMMV pricing and difficulty in extracting games from the cases ;)).
 
[quote name='shiningslade']I agree with this statement.

I greatly appreciate what you did. I certainly benefited substantially from it! I also had no problem at all with the length of it. It was easy enough to search, or just look at the first post with the main price list, and the last several pages and you were pretty much up to date. I hope you'll consider starting it up again since the old one has been closed, but I appreciate and respect that you might not be interested in continuing it given all the whining. Fact is that there were no price drops at kmart in January or so far in February, so there was nothing new to report anyway. The whiners were quite vocal, but in the minority, I think.
 
Can we please thank Shiningslade for all of his hard work, and let him continue to maintain a K-mart thread, if he's up to it? He's been maintaining the list for a very long time. He also probably spends more time at K-Mart than anyone in this forum that doesn't work for K-Mart.
 
Thanks I miss the old thread!

I noticed at one of the Kmarts I go to had Donkey Konga w/ Bongos for $5

But I found it at another kmart and it rang up $25 =(
 
Thanks shiningslade and everyone that made the last thread great, as much as people bitched about yymv deals...id still say its safe to say everyone that looked found atleast a couple $2 games and who can complain about that.

On that note, im taking my big list of barcodes and checking some prices today on my way back from the gym (even though the weathers a bit dodgy). Thanks for bringing this thread back, i bet kmart stock prices took a tumble when the last thread was locked im glad to see the shareholders can breathe easy now.
 
Thanks shiningslade! That was a huge list and it helped me get a bunch of games that I wanted. I really appreciate your hard work.

My wallet does hate you though, but fuck HIM...ungrateful little b_tch.
 
Not too good. I don't know who the OP is, and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I really wish shiningslade made the post.
 
I will try to contribute what i find at my kmarts, I know i saved a TON of money from the thread alone and scored many upon many 2-3$ games, plus nearly tripled my gamecube collection just from clearance games at kmart and sears. This is all due to the hard working people that started the threads, and I would like to thank shiningslade for his hard work.

Kmart prices are YMMV, you just have to take them as they ring up at the register, my kmart is EXTREMELY slow with dropping prices on the games, often dropping them 1-3 weeks after everyone else reports drops so I just have to wait and be paitient but overall the goods do drop. I would even go as far as to say that all prices listed on the CAG site are YMMV, as prices do vary by stores.

Just because someone posts a list of prices doesn't mean you are going to be able to find those games at your local store, not all stores stock all games, or have them left. Its a major pain to deal with the sometimes rude employees that don't want to take time to open the case for you and then scan the games because none of them even have a normal price tag on them. If you want the clearance games, you have to put a little effort into getting them, overall its very worth it and saves you a lot of money in the end.
 
As far as YMMV deals go, it's not all the way true. You should update the OP with some information, such as you really need to get the games scanned before jumping to conclusions. (or let shiningslade take over)
 
I don't see the problem. As long as he isn't stepping on toes(has shiningslade spoken?), then what's wrong with a guy wanting to try his hand at helping out?

I don't see how more people helping is a hindrance in the long run.
 
If the OP is serious about doing this, how about at least linking to the other resources linked to in the original posting like the UPC print out database (kmart.slashbunny.com ? something like that) and the trade-in value page on the Wiki....or the KMart trading thread. Just a suggestion (though I'd love for shiningslade to resume his heroic efforts, no offense to OP of this one)
 
Any chance we can highlight what's new since beginning of January? That would make the list considerably more usable for me and probably others.

Obviously you didn't read the above posts.:roll: It's also kind of rude if you ask me that this OP did not even ask me if it was ok to start a new Kmart thread. At least when MightySlacker tried to do it before, he asked me via PM before he did anything.

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH!

First time I ever went to K-Mart for Clearance Games. Anyways, I came back with:

Eye Toy Play 2 - $12
Eye Toy Operation Spy (Game Only) - $3
True Swing Golf - $3.50
(2) Xbox Live 12 Month Kits - $48 ($24 each)
 
Well it sounds like numerous people want shiningslade to restart a new Kmart post. Are you up to it Shiningslade?
I personally appreciate all that you did and often wondered how others could gripe instead of contribute.
 
I really appreciated what you did shingingslade. I was able to get my first DS games, True Swing Golf and Castlevania: DoS, at my Kmart.

And no offense to the OP, but just having plain old white text for everything is hard to read when it comes to additions and such. slade's thread was better organized and simple to read.
 
I'm for shingingslade to start his own new thread. Why was a new thread needed now when hardly any new updates were made in January. I thought the new thread was gonna come along when the next set of drops started happening. Not a copy and paste thread of what shingingslade has already been doing.
 
What does Kmart do with the games you return? Do they put them back in the shelves the next day? Do they send them somewhere else? I ask becuase there is a game at my local store that I want to buy, but I have a feeling that it will go down on price soon, but I dont want to wait too long becuase someone else might take it.
 
I've done that before, return and rebuy, but you can't wait TOO long before going back to rebuy it. I knew a couple of the games I returned wouldn't be there when I went back next because the clerk who did the return said something like 'these are some really cheap games and would make some killer Christmas presents'.

Of course, I've also 'shared the love' and bought and then returned games from one Kmart to another. This way, if I got the urge to rebuy the ones I returned once they dropped, they're at MY LOCAL KMART and not in the next city or whatever.

Quite a few of my local stores have been properly stickering the games on the shelf or putting them out in bins and tubs lately, with the RIGHT price on them, so this makes it even harder to rebuy those games because parents will tend to see cheap games and go 'oh, lil Timmy has an Xbox I think, this game is cheap, I should get it for him'. And there you go, you're out one clearance game.
 
Anyone know if the EYE TOY will work on the PS3?? I picked up 3 EYE TOY games/cameras today for $5 each! I only have a PS3?
 
Not to sound like a bastard, but if you have the eyetoys and a PS3 how hard would it be to try it for yourself?

Your eyetoy + Your PS3 = Problem solved
 
Yeah I used the Eye toy on my PS3 today. It sucks compared to the Xbox live Vision Cam but it's worth the $13 I paid for Eye Toy Play 2. The game sucks though.
