Official Sears Clearance Thread II - post Sears finds/deals here

[quote name='TheYung1']When will the next price drops occur?[/QUOTE]

When it occurs.

[quote name='hostyl1']If I had my way, everyone would have to work at least one job in retail sales, fast food, or telemarketing (I've done all three, in a span of about a year). It would make for a more civil society if we'd all have that experience and remember what it was like.

My wife would add waitress/waiter to that list (the one shitty job I didnt have).[/QUOTE]

In high school/college I had busboy/retail/telemarketer. All three suck. Although retail is sometimes ok cause you get to flirt with all the girls who are working that same shitty job with you.

Anyone know why some of the games have the STING DVD and some dont... picked up 2 copies with the STING DVD just for the DVD have no use for the game :)
 
Is Loco Roco 2 for $4.97 a good deal?

And, what are the chances the one copy of Banjo they have will ring up for anything less than $19.99?

That's why I didn't keep either copy, since I had no way of knowing if they came with the DVD or not. Although the back of each case DID have a little circle on it that said 'Crossing The Line' and I think that was the name of the DVD in some copies, right?
 
[quote name='phear3d']please do not talk about flipping the games to X store or to Y website.

i'll have to alter the op and add this. im getting messages from newbs about flipping these games #-o

from now on all talk about flipping games will be removed from the thread. you guys can talk about flipping games on other threads.[/QUOTE]
Sorry bout that. Although it speaks to the mentality of the newbs to only want the info to flip and not to even get the games for their own personal use.:roll:

Then again that's been my MO for a while now too many times.
 
I'd have to agree that flipping should be left out of this thread. those newbs who screw everyone over just to try to make a buck while the ones who really want the game can't get them thanks to them. shame shame shame! :shame:
 
[quote name='dgwillia006']I wonder when Gamestop Corperate is gonna catch on about Imagine doctor XD. Was talking to a manager earlier today and he said they had gotten like 15ish copies in just 2 days and that they were gonna stop accepting them[/QUOTE]

I'm surprised it took them that long to realize it.
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']I went to the other local Sears store by me tonight. They have two copies of TNA Impact for Wii($3 TIV @ GS, btw)which I bought and then returned about 30 minutes later.

Other than that, they had one copy of WET(PS3), Dirt 2(PS3), two copies of Wolfenstein(PS3) and various other odds and ends.


Lucky for me when I worked retail I never worked at a register, so I never had the opportunity to have that happen to me.

[/QUOTE]

son of a gun i've been looking for wolfenstein :ps3: at three different stores and no one has them they appear to be fruitful elsewhere :whistle2:(
 
Went to a different Sears, and had the nicest women help me. There were 2 bins of $29.99 and under games, and they were pricing everything with current prices. They offered to go to the register and scan anything I needed. Better than that, they showed me their price drop sheets, so I knew exactly what they had. They were like, this dropped $2.00, this one is $10.00 off!!! My niece will hopefully enjoy the copy of Imagine Family Doctor I got for her birthday. Most helpful Sears employees EVER!!!
 
[quote name='warmsignal']It's $5.00 at GS, I do believe. New, that is.[/QUOTE]

I don't think anyone actually wants the game. They just want to say they got a DS game for 47 cents.
 
[quote name='confoosious']They just want to say they got a DS game for 47 cents.[/QUOTE]

Hell, I didn't even want that. I just needed a replacement DS case.

the ones that have the DVD in it says in the left hand corner

I grabbed the only 2 copies they had with the DVD cause i can use them as 4 gifts ...

2 gifts for the TNA wii games and 2 gifts as the STING DVD

STING TNA RETURN OF AN ICON

http://www.amazon.com/TNA-Wrestling...ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1273790878&sr=8-2

I see you're in Southern CA, if you happen to be down Orange County way, the Sears at Laguna Hills mall had several copies of Wolfenstein yesterday.
None of the stuff I wanted, but plenty of that.

One of the sears I went to this week has someone doing the same, but obviously wanted some of the items for himself, so the price list was not shared. Read anything new off that list that was not yet posted?

That's why I was going to ask if anyone wanted me to pick up games they might not see in their own area for them if I found a copy(or nine), but I held off since I didn't know what my local stores still had and I remember the mess that happened the last time I offered to help out for cost+shipping(people telling me to send games Media with NO DC and that shipping should only cost $2 a game blah blah blah blah blah).

After that one hassle where the one game got stuck for over a week I rarely send a game anything but Priority anymore.:D

But even when I was sending first class it still cost me closer to $4 or so cuz I go to the post office to mail out.:razz:

One of the bad parts of 1)not taking Paypal at all and 2) not having a printer to print up postage from home.

really it cost me roughly 3.xx first class with delivery confirmation via bubble mailer or small box i have laying around and thats on average to people all the way out to new york. i noticed that when i try to ship parcel it seems more expensive for some odd reason.

[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Yeah. The store I was at the other day had at least one copy of it in stock.[/QUOTE]

Cool , im going to check another store today and if I get skunked I may request your services sir.
 
[quote name='Readthepost']Long time ago, I got a rude employee who said "all the sticker prices are correct" (and didn't want to scan the games with his handheld)...so I told him "ok I want that, and that, and that" (even games I knew were full price). I picked over 25 games, had him carry them to the register, and told him "read each price from the computer" then picked a few clearance games and told him "I don't want the others......lets go pick up some more games". He had a WTF attitude, I told him "hey, I tried to make you life easier, but now you learned that hard way". I picked another 20+ games and ended up buying maybe 6 games total.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='hostyl1']You've never worked retail have you?[/QUOTE]
No, but I don't say stupid things "all the sticker prices are correct" or "we don't have handheld scanners" (I know they have handheld scanners because other employees have used them for me).

[quote name='hostyl1']First, that was an assholic thing to do, but more importantly, who did you really hurt? Working retail is incredibly boring the vast majority of the time. And even if this made a *little* more work for the guy, he had to be in the store anyway.[/QUOTE]
Why is it an assholic thing to do when, I HELPED him pass the incredibly boring time. :) But I was hoping to really hurt him by making him carry all those games and have to re-shelving all games later.

[quote name='hostyl1']I know I'd have had fun with you when I was a clerk. I'd have scan each game so slowly and any that came up less than sticker, I'd scan a 2nd time and perhaps ask another associate if it were true.[/QUOTE]
This would not be a problem for me since I know which games I was going to buy and I don't mind the wait. Also I had him scan the clearance games first and said "are you sure the sticker prices are the right prices?".

[quote name='hostyl1']He could have made things much harder on you than you could on him.[/QUOTE]
Are you sure? Trust me, customers can make it much harder than employees can, this is basic 101 knowledge.
A few more assholic things I could do:
1. "I want to buy your APC backup batteries, please bring them". Maybe I'll compare all of them at the register. "I want this battery model, but I want the other one that is back on the shelf, please get it". After all the back and forth, just leave.
2. Ask for the glass cases to be opened and make him stand there while I just look at every game (I'll sit on the floor, he can't leave, he can't sit, he can't go talk to his friends, he can't even go to the bathroom).
3. I could complain to his manager.
4. I could do these things, every day that him works.

[quote name='hostyl1']At least scanning the games and then straightening out the shelves afterwards would eat up some time till quitin' time. At least that's how I would have looked at it.[/QUOTE]
:roll: HA! They rather kill time talking to each other than actually doing work.

[quote name='hostyl1']Plus, it'd be a story I'd share w/ the other clerks about this "Cheap Asshat Gamer" that came through. I guess I'm sort of an optimist though.[/QUOTE]
I hope that he shares his story with other employees, it would be a blessing to have employees break out the handheld scanners the minute they see me.:D
 
Dude whenever I go to Sears it's dead, even on weekends. I went to the thrift store the other day (and scored a tub of Legos for 8 bucks) and it was busier over there!
 
I heard the dumb comment from a Sears employee yesterday.
Jersery City, NJ 2pm
There was a white 40s year old guy trying to buy a Blu-ray player and an Indian (maybe Pakistanian?) employee at a register next to me. They were comparing a blu-ray player on the Sears website and the one at the store.

Employee: "It's the same thing, but the website is .05 cent cheaper".
White guy: "Are they the same model?"
Employee: "Yes, this one is model number xxxxxxxxxx."
White guy: "What, wait, can you write the model number so that I can compare it with the one back there."
Employee: "It's model number xxxxxxxxx, just remember the number."
White guy: "My memory isn't that good." He looked embarrassed.
Me to the employee: "You're an asshole" "This customer asked you to write the model number and you said "just remember it"?"
Me to the white guy: "This guy is an asshole, you should complain".
Employee to me: "Don't use that kind of language."
Me: "Then do your job, you lazy ass."
Employee print a little piece of paper and wrote the number down.
White guy to me: "Thanks"

By the way, this is what was left.

I would have left the department if an employee didn't write down a model number for me, but it was only $0.05 difference. I'm cheap, but sometimes it is not worth the trouble in savings.

Anyway, I picked up the last copy at my store of Fall Out 3 Game of the Year Edition.

Sometimes I don't even have a mailer lying around so I end up going out to grab one for $1 from the dollar store and that also factors into it.

And before you say 'well you should buy this lot of 10 billion from Ebay to have them around' and link me to some bulk seller of them, know that I don't ship that many games so I don't wanna pay to have tons of mailers around I'm not gonna be using(even if they only cost .03 each after buying in bulk).
 
Read a few pages back and didn't see anything but Sears in Northwest Plaza in St. Ann, MO is closing. Was in there today and all video games are 25% off. Still had a decent selection so hopefully it will drop to 50& or more soon.

Based on this post, and your previous posts you seem to be begging to be banned from that Sears. Sure, you are buying merchandise, but if I were the manager and I heard you calling an employee an asshole, and generally speaking to employees in the condescending way you seem so proud of, I would ask you to leave and not return. They have the right to do it, and they should. No one, lazy or not, deserves to put up with the crap you are putting these people through.
 
Didn't find much at the Sears in Elmhurst, IL today but I did score a silver 16GB iPod Nano for $41.97 on clearance, I think its the previous generation though, who cares, I don't need a camera on it anyway!

haha i'm like you i don't have those things laying around i hardly ship stuff, and buy them at the $1 store (which can be a drag b/c i would have to make the trip to do it =P) but i hear ya on the costs and stuff its always good to know that there are cag'ers around to help out even though there may be some who ruin it for others. I have contemplated buying bulk bubble mailers but it would just sit around esp. if we don't mail things frequently. :D
 
Oh yeah i saw 2 copies of lego rock band they were marked 14.99 but i'm not sure if they are cheaper than that. I'll check the next time i go, that's if they are still there.

If you read the past posts you would see that I try to be (most of the times) very polite with pleases and thank yous, but "I did lost it" when the employee told the other customer to just remember the model because he did want to write it down.

"Please scan these games"/"Please open this case" are polite.

And, if a manager heard the entire story, I do believe that someone would lose their job. Come on ...."just remember the number" is a very rude thing for an employee to say to a customer.

Please note that I didn't go around cursing loudly, I said ass/asshole twice. I highly doubt a manager would ban me without an warning.

Lastly, employees should not treat customers poorly, if they do, they should be fired.

:applause:
Most times when I go to either of the further Sears by me they're using the computer they've set up with one of the older model HDtvs as the screen to surf the internet and that's what they're doing when I so rudely interrupt them to ask for something out of the case.:lol:

If I really wanted to be a dick, I'd ask what they wanted for the HDtv they're using as a computer monitor and buy the mf'er so maybe they'd have to get back to doing actual work and not surfing to YouTube on company time.
