Target Clearance YMMV - Blu-ray Forum

5th Of November · 08-20-2016, 02:44 AM

I did a search, but didn't find an exact thread for this. Mods, please move to the appropriate one if needed.

I'm sure all Targets will vary in their selection, but this is what I found at mine tonight.

Pacific Rim 3D $10.31
The Fifth Element (Remastered with Dolby Atmos) $5.16
Horns $5.16
Girls Season 3 $6.16
Boardwalk Empire Season 5 $13.66
Batman The Animated Series Volume One DVD $8.46

With some Targets remodeling their Electronics departments you might get their steelbook cheap since they cut out that section.

FilmEntertainment · 08-20-2016, 03:29 AM

Sometimes the clearance section has some good titles.

One of the Target in the area had:

The Blacklist: Season 1 (Blu-ray) - $10.00
Supernatural: Season x (DVD) - $8.xx

Ive never found the clearance section at my Target

Always YMMV...Especially with "Entertainment" or "Electronics" stuff.

Gotta be in the right place, right time.

That too.

Mostly, but sometimes not.

There are many...They are endcaps placed in the sections where people might want to find them, and normal people don't bother to go.

...Just look in the back aisle.

This may be the most YMMV post I've ever witnessed in the Hot Deals forum.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 08-20-2016, 03:45 AM

Yes. They are usually endcaps by the video games.

Thanks for the clarification, albeit a bit specific.

Yes, I've also found them near the "Entertainment" section...Sometimes it's closer to the books. Ha!

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 08-20-2016, 04:13 AM

It changes a lot for me. Times it's by the games and other times over by the computers.

Mine has had a copy of 'Smallville Season 8' on Blu-ray for $42.99 as well as a copy of 'Battlestar Galactica 4.5' on Blu-ray for $39.99 for over 2 years now... which I find hilarious.

Heh, Battlestar Galactica 4.5 is a buck at Fry's.

I recently visited my local Target and this is an endcaps near the electronics department filled with a mishmash of online returns and other stuff:

A lot of stuff to dig through but I noticed they had four copies of this for $18.16 each:

They also had five copies of this:

And they also had some other random stuff such as:
Season 4 DVD of Shameless for 18.78
MLB the Show '14 for PS3 for 6.26
Terminator 3/ Terminator Salvator double feature DVD for 3.56

Iceman909 · 08-24-2016, 12:59 AM

All my store has is online orders like elf for $9

My store also had a bunch of those recently! I think they all sold by now though... I guess the warehouse must have found some cases...

Samus Aran · 08-20-2016, 04:29 AM

Also, for whatever reason, anytime they get an online order returned to the store, they reduce the price and throw it out into the clearance section as well. So sometimes good stuff gets marked down that way, while other times even the discounted price still sucks (lots of overpriced Blu-rays at my local store even after the return discount like Jersey Boys and Brick Mansions). I found a Walking Dead steelbook marked down because of that.

It certainly is a head-scratcher... Sometimes stores are forced to clearance stuff from online orders...It's cheaper to sell it at clearance than to send it back for...re-processing, or whatever.

BrickWaters · 08-20-2016, 04:39 AM

I have never seen clearance items movies at Target before. I would certainly grab Boardwalk Empire for that price.

bigbyrd03 · 08-20-2016, 05:00 AM

It's only when a DPCI drops out of the store system and becomes an "Online Only" item. The price change team can scan that barcode on the front and everytime they scan it the price will drop 30%. That's why you see multiple stickers.
