Stopped by TRU again today and got the following:

eReader:
Tennis - $0.10

PS2:
SledStorm - $1.00

PC:
Piglet's Big Game :P - $1.99
Sonic Action 4-Pack (Sonic & Knuckles Collection, Sega Smash Pack 2, Sonic CD, & Sonic R) - $1.49

GCN:
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Official Prima Strategy Guide - $0.69

Both SledStorm and Sonic Action 4-Pack were NOT marked with a green tag, so there are still some deals to be found...

I finally have a list made up of everything I got including prices. This is the first time I have been able to hit a deal like this, so I am satisfied with everything I got:

3 UC WindWaker (GC) 1.00
1 UC Medal of Honor: Frontline (PS2) 1.00
1 UC Gran Turismo 3 (PS2) 1.00
1 Universal Studios (GC) 3.00
3 XBox Exhibition vol 2 (Xbox) 0.50
5 Ejay Clubworld (PS2) 1.00
2 Lego Creator - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (PC) 0.50
2 Quake 3 Arena (DC) 2.00
2 Typing of the Dead (DC) 1.00
2 Sega Sports Bundles (DC) 1.20
1 Phantasy Star v2 (DC) 2.00
3 WWF: No Mercy (N64) 0.75
1 Sims Online (PC) 0.99
1 Batman: Toxic Chill (PC) 1.99
1 Soviet Strike (PS1) 2.00
1 Sega Marine Fishing (DC) 1.00
1 Carrier (DC) 2.00
1 Tennis 2k2 (DC) 1.00
1 NFL 2k2 (DC) 1.00
1 NBA 2k2 (DC) 2.00
2 Mad Maestro (PS2) 1.00
1 Xbox RFU Adapter 1.00
1 Wing Commander: Prophecy (GBA) 4.48

Total Before Savings: 439.18
Total Spent: 51.48
Total Saved: 387.70

Now I didn't save 800 or something like some of you, but I think I got a pretty good haul. Most of the extras (minus a few that are already called for) are going to be traded for things I did not get. If anybody got some extra n64 games or next gen games, send me a pm and we can work out a trade if I have anything that you are looking for that is an extra.

How much did you pay for the EDs? I would be interested in one of them.

I only paid $5 each. I'm still not sure what I plan on doing with them all, but if I decide on selling them I will post here first.

Anywho...I ended going to F.Y.E. and trading in my 2 copies of Drake for $15 a pop. I ended up using my credit on a new Wireless Wavebird controller for my Gamecube which was on sale for $30. I guess I made out pretty decently since that alone was worth more than my combined purchases at TRU. :)

YOU SAVED $182.44

Seriously, it doesn't have to be market with a green tag, or even out on the floor, to be green tag.

I've hit up six stores, and I'm driving to NYC tomorrow morning and hitting every store on the way (maybe 5 more).

Just make a list of every title mentioned in this thread, walk up to the cashier, and have them pull things out from behind the glass and scan them.

Tidbit of the day:

Disney's Magical Mirror w/Mickey Mouse (GCN) is on green tag for $5, FYE takes it for $10. Buy buy buy :D

For Your Entertainment. Buy, sell, trade new and used. They have brick and mortars all over the place. Click on the store locator on the link above.

(Not to be an ass, but I typed "FYE" into Google, and it was the first thing that popped up.)

Well I went to another TRU today and they had a few copies of Mojo and Drake, but they weren't 90% off. Rang up 9.99 and 6.48 :(

Yeah, same here, but to be fair they weren't green tagged. Just thought I'd get a price check done anyway cuz you never know. But I'm not prepared to pay $5 or whatever for Drake! The game sucks royally.

I hit the Flea Market early and found nothing..

So I went to three Toys R Us stores not traveled to yet.(The traffic today was horrible.)
I saw the same old stuff that I've found at other Toys R Us stores nothing really special in these stores..
Some things I just pasted up..

I just picked random items..
Variants of the GBA accessory sets.
A couple N64 games to add with N64 systems when I sell them and others for similar reasons.

I saw a lot of games for the PS2/Xbox/GC that were marked between 5-10 dollars that I didn't buy(Red Stickers)

Turok ($1.48)..for a friend.
Drake ($4.48)for me,I don't own it.
Star Wars Clone Wars/Tetris Worlds combo...This game I saw in a rack at another store and pasted it up.
I checked and it was on the shelf of another store not marked..It scanned at $6.48.

Gran Turismo 2 was the only PS game I saw in the three stores...(69 cent)
Card Reader games were (20 to 49 cent each).
Golf
Clu Clu Land
DK
DK 3

DC Phantasy Star Online (1.99 each)

One store had several Strategy guides marked at different prices..
I don't feel like looking through all of them so I grabbed the Jedi Knight Academy that was marked $1.49 but rang up FREE
The Soul Caliber II was ...(69 cent)

Pokemon mini cart.(50 cent)

One store has a TON of GC Eternal Darkness games market at $5.00 each(Red Tag)..I only grabbed one.
I just bought this game used for $15.00 at EB damn it!!!!

GC Smashing Drive I didn't see at any stores..I was looking at the glass behind the register at one store for maybe something hidden marked with a green sticker and I spotted it..($3.99)

I spent around $35.00 in total....

I'm on vacation in Lynnwood right now... That's the one I went to today. That's all I found. I did buy the Sega sports bundle and a DC RF adapter, though. $1.52 :)

I wonder if there's a greentag sale going on in Canada to check out when I get home. hmm...

Folks, there're still items in the stores that are 90% off, check the list here

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=798388#798388


Most of the games are universally 90% off, which mean if you see it, it's definitely 90% off, many of the games haven't been identified by the employees, so check the list and go to your nearest TRU.

There're also games that they want to reduce the number in stock and offer some of them 90% off, which they use different bar codes and/or cheap plastic game holder (you need to cut them out yourself), the remainders will have regularly marked prices, perfect examples - Mojo Xbox, Jak and Dexter PS2, Pac-Man World 2 Xbox.

If you're really diligent, scan through some of the games on the list if you see one, I picked some more today (not a whole lot) through the huge stack of Pac-Man World 2 Xbox behind a stack of regularly priced copies, employees didn't notice those during the sales. I don't even plan to trade them toward EB, even if they offer extra $10 credit for 2 games, they still come out on top since they can sell most of those new excpet junk titles like Primal and Drake.

Thats a list from when the sale was 50% many of those titles have been dropped from the sale. The best thing to do is find an employee or price checker and scan like crazy.

Went too late (went today). All I got:

Golf (E-Reader) x 2 - .20
Clu Lu Land (E-reader) x 4 - .20
Sports Bundle (DC) - 1.20
NFL 2k2 (DC) - 1.00
Yu Yu Hakusho Strategy Guide x 2 - .80
Sword of Mana (GBA) - 15.73

Kind of weak. Then I went to KB and found:

Force Pack (DC) - .69
Force Pack (N64) - .07
Shenmue Strategy Guide (DC) x 2 - .69
Resident Evil CVX Strat Guide (PS2) x 2 .69

Still pretty weak, but it's something.
