I find your ideas intriguing and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.


Really man, what happened? Did it involve cacti? Bits of caramel candy? Lots and lots of chrome plated truck ladders? Ninjas? Ninji? Was it a feat of legerdemain in handling the barcode scanner? DO TELL!

I doubt that PS2 games are fair compensation for working at Sears...

LOL - the responses to this thread were about 100 times more entertaining than the original post.

Just how did you do it, man? Are we going to hear about a bloody massacre on the news tonight?

Was anyone else nerdy enough to do the math on this?

600 / 50 = 12
and
80 / 12 = $6.67 per game

Question: $6.67 = $3.50?
Answer: INCORRECT


600 / 40 = 15
and
80 / 15 = $5.34 per game

Question: $5.34 = $3.50?
Answer: INCORRECT


600 / 25 = 24
and
80 / 24 = $3.34

Question: $3.34 = $3.50
Answer: CLOSE ENOUGH

Fact A: Every Sears I've ever entered has had a crappy selection of video games.
Fact B: Every Sears I've ever entered has had higher prices than the average for said crappy games.

Conclusion A: I just wasted 5 minutes
Conclusion B: You got a stack of 24 not so great PS2 games.

That is all I have to contribute to this thread.

Some Sears clearance shit rocks. I got 2 copies of Gundam: Zeonic Front, which I traded to both Blockbuster and Gamestop. Dunno how much it was at BB, but it was 9 bones worth of credit at Gamestop. Word.

I went by Sears and they didn't have crap. What's worse, I left with two microwaves, a dishwasher, and some old lady's phone number.

uh if you have multiple copies of the .hack games think you can trade them to me?

Hell, all I got was an old MAN'S number O_O

Anyway, when I was a young lad, I stole a couple Playstation games from Sears...so I got like 100.00 worth of games for free. My deal beats yours.

Don't worry, I do not steal anymore, I am not a good fellow. :)

sears never carries alot of games, they have a no "M" rated game policy....so its always cheesy stuff the they get...

I don't think it was cacti, but more like Elvi!

One time I went to the store and bought items on sale and saved even more with my discount rewards card but see the thing is usually when you sign up for those cards they ask for your name and address and phone number but I totally faked it because I know that they use that information to track your grocery purchases and send that information to the government and that's not free speech I mean come on look at the constitution this is wrong so fuck Amerikkka that grocery store isn't getting my information and the card still works even with my fake information which is awesome except for when I forget the card and they ask for my phone number and I can't remember the fake number I put on the slip so I try to think of another fake number but I can't so I end up saying my real number and now the cashier knows and she's going to call me all the time and I don't want no skanky 40-something cashier lady with nails longer than my arms calling me all the time speaking of cashier-like concerns because I mean come on I live in a totally different world here and I really don't care if the organic bananas and the normal bananas have different price codes and it's hard to tell which one a customer has because I have more important things to worry about.

Sears marked down games to $5 and was giving away $5 coupons. Took advantage of Sears stupidty.

so wasn't this thread about somebody's good deal when it comes to games?

that is what I got from the first post, and nobody seemed to understand it, I understood it just fine. He was telling everybody about his great deal and how he managed it, but some people didn't understand it :)

so uh, is this thread still talking about that. If so, congrats on the good deal dude.
