there is always a small shelf in targets that have reduced/reject items.
I went and looked....that one damn phillips keychain camera was 44.99 where I paid almost 80.
but they have animal crossing sealed with the mem card for 14.98
...now i kinda wondering if my GF even checked, or checked the price.... somethings fishy here.

Can you pick me up a copy?
Mine is all sold out and I can't find that good of a deal anywhere,
It would be much appreciated :)
Also, are any other games with teh mem card this cheap? I know they bundled at least Metroid Prime this way.

I'm going to try to hit my Target today, but they rarely have deals. So, since this probably won't pan out, you can put me down for one of those at cost + shipping. :-D I've been wanting to try it out for quite some time.

I actually just got back from there, and didn't see any unfortunately. I did pick up Xenosaga for $7.50 the other day though.
Oh, and I'll take one @ cost plus shipping too. :)

Sorry to be critical here but unless the person has absolutely nothing going on and Target is next door to their house so they could walk, why would someone go out of their way to purchase the game, package it up, go to the post office and mail it to you for just "cost plus shipping?" There is gas and time involved here. I would offer whoever does it at least $5 extra. It only makes sense.
Ok, just my two cents here. Carry on.

I frggin LOVE targets reject shelf. I literally get probably 35-40% of my games from that thing. They had the huge DDR2Max box SET new for $29.98 the other day.
Didn't get it since I didn't need the mat, or the game, but still, that's one hell of a price.

ok.
hee is the dish now, i picked up a stack of them, mixed in the stack was 9.98 ones...but the rest were 14.98 ones.
So we go to the counter "hello, these here are marked 9.98 but these are 14.98. an i get the rest of these for 9.98?" Mr.Dude(17?)-"Hmm hold on, let ringgerup" . do dodo dodo dododo do dodo "They acutually should be 14.98, but i can let you have this one for 9.98" "How about all of them" " All of them?" "yup!"
In comes some hot blonde....and after a few words with me, i got 3 for 9.98 and 13 for 14.98(since thats still good, but not as good)
But they ring up 14.98.....9.98 was a mistake, so don't go nuts here! sorry to bring ya down.
HOWEVER the first 3 that said they wanted them can have them for 9.98+tax+usps first class. if the remainder(7 games)of you want the 14.98+tax+uspsfirst class....your welcome to them.

2 things i think right off the top of my head. If you want the game to play, i would gladly sell it back to you for cost. It is a cool game, hope ya have fun. that like all good 100%.....if your just picking one up from me to sell, then boo you, but hey who am i to tell you what you can do. trade bait either i have no problem with.
the other thing is hey i'm gonna sell some of these on ebay and someones gonna buy them making me some cash that i wil again buy some games with, so i kinda share.....I'm not doing this anywhere else but the dp boards, and if your not a member then TDB no soup for you.

Well, maybe they'd do it because this is a board for collectors who want to help other collectors? I'm sure he'll make a lot of friends doing that, and next time they have a sweet deal in their town they'll probably look him up first.
Or, as you're suggesting, he can just be a selfish jerk and put them on eBay or something for your extra $5 and say "well, GO BID FOR THEM PUNX!!!!" and make a lot of enemies.

Damn. Well, I couldn't hold out.
I went out forever to every store. I finally found one at the very last place on my list. Brand new. GameStop for $30. Damn. But I had to get it.
None at our Target. Sadly.
Actually, the EBGames at the Mall just before the GS had a used one with no card for $26. I politely said I'd have to look around. He said it'd be right here when you come back. I won't sell it. I felt bad. He was so nice about it. It had just came in for the day. And I only went to EB first because I figured they wouldn't have it. In fact I didn't think GS would either. Go figure. The Mall does have it. Oh well. I got it. Haven't played it yet.
I also bought Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
Oh wells. Would have been nice to have them for $15.
I spent $80 tonight and only came home with two games.. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??

Sorry if you misunderstood me but even if only 5 people had someone do this for them it becomes a job. Remember, traveling to several places, packaging, addressing, sending consists of gas and time. I would never expect someone I don't know to do this for me free, I would offer them something for their trouble. Those that would just assume they should do it for nothing might be your so called jerk.

Nobody expects anything from anybody here. Usually in cases like this when somebody is doing it for cost+shipping the buyer will toss in a few dollars to make sure it atleast covers the paypal fees for one. And when it's all said and done, like everybody else said......they have friends and maybe $2 to go get an ice cream cone. Nobody said they were going to ship it out tomorrow afternoon but it will make it there. And hopefully everybody can hook everybody else up so they get deals from all over the world....
