Target Clearance YMMV

[5th Of November]

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]

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

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

Mine usually has stuff. But way overpriced.

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]

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]

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

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.

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

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.

I've had to return something that was "Online Only" once. I didn't have my receipt, but I brought up my Red Card transaction, so that worked. Otherwise, it was clear that I wouldn't get anywhere.

Exclusives are the most vulnerable to this...If you buy an Exclusive from Target, while it may be worth more on the online market...(may)...you may not be able to return/exchange it for the same amount, because it's not in the "system" as a viable product anymore. So, you get what the regular version is priced.


Who would ever sell their retailer exclusive?!

My Target has a good amount of Online Order returns with the AS IS sticker on DVDs/Blurays/CDs/video games and books. These are found on an endcap in the electronics department as well as the Toy Department.
The prices were better during the holiday time but occasionally there are some good deals. A few months ago, someone must have returned several copies of To Kill A Mockingbird (2 disc edition) to the store and all of them had the same price of 2.38 on it.

Don't give up checking. Most of these had more than one sticker. I got the Pacific Rim 3D. It was previously $21.01, as per the sticker underneath the current price of $10.31.

[stevenelliott]

I find cds all the time for 1.30 or so...found a few olive titles for 6.67, my store gets alot of internet returns.

[soulreaper313]

My target had a few pretty good titles. The sopranos complete series DVD for $70, boardwalk empire complete series Blu-ray for $55.80 and battle royale complete collection Blu-ray for $9


I grabbed boardwalk empire and battle royale

I've had more luck with games than movies, but you never know what you'll find. I'm probably due to go back and check the clearance section...it's been a while since I've been to Target, and I do need drinks.
