Half-life Plat - $.01 @ Staples

[Mike]

I don't think I should have to state this since im posting in Offline Hot deals, but this would be in-store only. Huge YMMV, been on clearance for awhile.

 

Half-Life Platinum Collection

[RossMAN]

Got a SKU?

[Mike]

Sorry, I do not.

[couponmamaoftwins]

Sounds like a good deal. What is it?

[JanetThomas1]

I agree with couponmama -sounds like a great deal, but what is it?

[eve]

totally clueless?

[Mike]

Half-Life is a very popular first-person computer game.

[eve]

oh ok ty for the fyi

[Texfrazer]

Half-life is a great game, but I haven't been able to find it in any of the stores near me.

[fairydustcrissy]

Worth checking into! Thats definately cheaper than hubbys employee Discount!

[couponmamaoftwins]

I'll have to mark it off my list then. I don't play computer games and I definitely don't want to share my pc. lol

Just to let you know i have some experience w/ the Half-Life Series and the newest one out is Half-Life Source, so if your looking for the new one this is'nt it, link for HL²:Source this is a pretty cheap price for the new one

[Mike]

Yea, I hope no one would expect to pay $.01 for the newest edition.

[labgeek]

I thought the newest was Half Life 2 (which is what you linked to), which is bundled with Counter Strike - Source. I've never heard of "half life source" before... but I'm not a gamer.

I did a search on Staples.com and it came back with a sku of 496703. I am going to take this into the store and confirm if its correct and if they have any since its oos and still regular price on the website. The description seems to match though.

[happyrat]

Just checked at Staples, and the sku is correct. The store in my area said it was a "destroy" item and could not be sold.

[Mike]

Did you call your local store?

[happyrat]

No, I was going in that direction anyway so I stopped by. I could not find it on the shelf so I asked, and the employee showed my on the computer where it said DO NOT SELL, and was nice enough to lookup every store in this area, and they all showed 0 in stock. I guess I could look in the dumpster lol.

[Mike]

Ok, on clearance items, the worst thing you can do is call. Just OOS in your area.

I once tried to buy Checksoft Platinum 2005 at Staples which rang up as "Do Not Sell - $.01". They wouldn't sell it to me.

[happyrat]

The only store I have found the will sell $0.01 merchandise is Home Depot, and that is if they have not already pulled and destroyed it. If its on the shelf they will sell it, but you have to find it before they do. I get lucky sometimes. Right now they have door hinges by national manufacturing, and DURHAM brand water putty for $0.01 and several other things I can't remember. I could only find the hinges at my HD and bought a case.
