Kmart finds. EZ Ebay $$

If you’ve read some of my other post, you’ll notice I love Kmart and their clearance game section. I figure I haven’t been there in a while and there was a new Kmart I’ve never been to and figured it was a good way to spend some time with the girl so we decided to make an evening of Kmart shopping.

That night we hit 2 Kmarts and scored pretty well at the 1 while the other was a total bust. The first one we ventured, as soon as I walked into the video game section I knew this was going to be amazing. They had games just thrown in the glass case with no order what-so-ever, clearly a sign that no one gives a crap and will sell you anything. Picked up a HD DVD player for the xbox for $12 and the Halo wireless controller for $15 and that POS game for $4. The HD DVD player is total ebay fodder as well as the controller as I already have 2. $15 for a wireless controller is the best deal you can get, I don’t care if it’s pink with dog vomit on it there is no way you can score a better deal. I also have a motto, if a current gen game is under $5, new and not a sports game I have to pick it up. I should have learned a long time ago that I should abandon this motto but what the hell. The other HD player I scored at my local Kmart which hasn’t marked anything down in price since the dinosaurs roamed. I gladly showed the manager my reciept from another store and asked for a price match. Very shocked at the price but without hesitation agreed and I walked out with another HD player.

As of posting date, I’ve sold both the HD players for $47 and $51 as well as the controller for $52. Not bad if you ask me for a few hours with the girl and making some easy cash. Do not pick up bullet witch, review coming very soon.

My KMart has been trying to sell a Game Boy Color case for the last year and a half. Next time I go, I'm going to buy it just to see if it still registers in their computer.

bullet witch isn't THAT bad. It's just a bit stupid. It can be mindless fun

Nice haul! Your clearance aisle hunting deff paid off. The only clearance isle deal I've gotten recently was some Halo action clix for less than $3. Totally meh compared to this.. But arrrh! there be no K-marts here anymore, only target and wally world.

I remember when my Kmart had a lot of copies of FF7 for about $10.



Last year.
