Last round of Target markdowns? —John Boreczky

My local Target (San Leandro, CA) had the last round of markdowns (75%!) for the 4561 Railway Express ($32.44), RIS and Tie Fighter and Y-Wing. There weren't any of of the later 2 left, but the Target employee got a kick out of me taking all 6 of (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —Naji Norder

There were none left at that price around here. :-( I did order one yesterday from wbstore.com for about $60, though... not in anyway as good but not that bad either! Have fun, Naji (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —Tom Stangl

You MAY have gotten it for that much from WBStore. I ordered a bunch right after they went on sale, and called today to confirm shipment, and was told EVERYTHING from both of my orders is on backorder until Feb 18! Nice of them to say that on the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —Naji Norder

Why would they have a clearance sale and then not have the stock to be cleared out? I don't know how much they pay TLC for the sets, but I doubt its much less than $50-60. They aren't making enough money on each set for the trouble, I would think. (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I just checked on my order at WB online and sure enough the Lego is back ordered.... but it looks like they for some weird reason added some Pokemon cards for free and those are going to be sent on.

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —David Phillips

It would be nice if Target was consistant. The two near me work in two different worlds. A couple of weeks ago, one had things at 40% while the other was at 75% off. Neither have marked down the Tie Fighters or Y-Wings. It doesn't matter that they (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —David Phillips

Hit one of the Target stores tonight, and it looks like the markdowns are over out here. several RIS, DDK, Tie Fighters and Y-Wings, even a few RC cars, but when I scanned one of each, they were all list price. david (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —Adam Hoekwater

Okay, here's my proposal: What if one very trusting Lugnetter and one very honest Lugnetter get together for a lucrative deal? Let's say I buy a bunch of RIS 1.5's and Tie Fighter vs. Y-Wings at my local Target at 25-40% off. Then couldn't I just (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —Scott Edward Sanburn

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —Adam Hoekwater

Adam, (...) A lot of stores are asking for ID now, depending on the store, they might need the credit card as well. Well, if it works, good luck! You worked at Best Buy too, huh?

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —Lindsay Frederick Braun

Clearance price-matching (was Re: Last round of Target markdowns?) —Raymond Flournoy

Re: Clearance price-matching (was Re: Last round of Target markdowns?) —Larry Pieniazek

(...) Last time I tried this they said the point of clearances was to clear.

(...) I don't understand this logic. 'We don't want it anymore, so it's on clearance. But you can return it for the 40% off price and we'll give you all the money back. Then we WILL sell it again, but at a MUCH LOWER price, but NOT TO YOU, because (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Re: Clearance price-matching (was Re: Last round of Target markdowns?) —Doug Finney

(...) I think it makes total sense (though it's not how I *wish* it worked.) The crux of the matter is that the return policy is for people who want to *return* something, not get the best price for it. If their policy was refund the difference then (...)

Hehe, GOOD LUCK. The Target I wiped out of 4561s this morning has had them for $78 for WEEKS while all of the other Targets dropped them.

Re: Clearance price-matching (was Re: Last round of Target markdowns?) —Mark Cornell

Woo Hoo! I just received an e-mail from my parents that they picked up two 4561s at Target for $32.44 each (to add to the two I paid $78 for when I was out there at Christmas). They will check one more Target today for more. My local Target hasn't (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Re: Clearance price-matching (was Re: Last round of Target markdowns?) —John Neal

(...) Once again, Lar, you prove to be all wise. That is a great plan which I wish I had employed. My Target had at least 12 4561s sitting around yesterday for $77.xx.

You have to call FIRST THING in the morning.

Re: Last round of Target markdowns? —John Boreczky

(...) The Target employee was working through her list of markdowns, and mentioned the RIS and the TIE/Y Wing as being 75% as well, but since there were none left, it didn't matter. I would assume $49.44 and $12.44 if you could find them. John B. (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
