1whodatdare Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Must have been in in store return. That model isn't sold in stores (according to target). (in reference to the Samsung 40" TV
mom2monkiesx3 Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 OK Target friends, I have a question. How do internet returns usually get marked down.....I am currently stalking two pairs of Beats marked 15% off...Are they just random markdowns no rhyme or reason?
mkirby73 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 The TV was sitting at 15% off for about a month, then suddenly dropped. I'm not sure about the return - they usually have a different sticker and say online return, this one just had the regular sticker. It was the only one there though, so who knows - I know they had them in the store on Black Friday, so maybe it was a leftover (or return) from that. I was just excited to grab it so DH wouldn't go spend $700 on a tv since we were looking for one

How do internet returns usually get marked down.....I am currently stalking two pairs of Beats marked 15% off...Are they just random markdowns no rhyme or reason?I vote for no rhyme or reason! I've seen things start at 80% off all the way down to 15% and sit there forever.
Brookedin17 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 My store had red dot at 50% today, sign said thru 5/17, which means it'll be 70% friday! Lots of stuff- pencils, coloring books, balls, wall deco items...
mkirby73 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 One of our stores had red dot marked 50%, but was ringing up 70% Sony eReaders were 50% off Lots of bird stuff is 50% off (wild bird - feeders, food)
fluffkin79 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Dollar Spot (red dots) 70% off today. Still had 50% signs up.
MarkdownQueen Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I found these marked down to $4.48. I bought 2 pair for my daughter, the color they had were purple, pink, navy blue. The only difference is the ones I bought I the strap across the back, so they can't slip off easy. http://www.target.com/p/Kids-Jibbitz-by-Crocs-Byme-Thong-Sandal-Assorted-Colors/-/A-13903507.

Sandiman Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Any news on the kindle fire? My target has several, but they are full price. You just get 30 percent off of an accessory if you purchase them together.
hockeyfanamo Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Any news on the kindle fire? My target has several, but they are full price. You just get 30 percent off of an accessory if you purchase them together.Checked my store today and all Kindle's including displays are off the shelves.
Stowasser Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I noticed our Kindles are gone too, don't think they even reduced them
mamapenguin Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Checked my store today and all Kindle's including displays are off the shelves.Are you sure? As of Sunday, they had moved the case & e readers including kindles closer to the book section. There were still regular price kindle fires.
Sandiman Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 The Kindles were full price get a $40 gift card. Then they disappeared for a while at my target. Now they are back out in a different location, at full price, no gift card.
Stowasser Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Oh, I didn't look around, just noticed they were not in the case with the other readers.....might have to look around near books
scotty the bull Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I noticed our Kindles are gone too, don't think they even reduced them Ours were gone too. Nothing but the Nook here.
lovetoshopCA Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I don't think they'll clearance them. I think Amazon will take them back. But that's just my guess. I have been in one store with the big new Apple display, what a waste of space, and they removed the Sony & Amazon products entirely (not even in the book section). The Sony ereaders are clearance at all our other stores, but not the Nook.
scotty the bull Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Does any one know if mens bikes ever go on clearance?
lovetoshopCA Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Does any one know if mens bikes ever go on clearance?they do. can't recall timing.
lovetoshopCA Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Found Patio furniture & cushions on clearance at the Montclair, CA store today. This is the only store I have seen them down so far, but if they are ahead, probably the rest will go this week or next. Found some nice 12" GI Joe figures earlier this week for 70% off. The markdown team told me that they have had so little to mark lately that they are going home early everyday.
freesia39 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 When will The Webster (or other Shops at Target) items go on clearance? It's been nearly a month. Six weeks? I am hoping one of the Webster skirts will hit the rack, along with some of the Privet House stuff. The other shops I'm not rushing to buy, although if the dog stuff gets cheap... (probably not. Jason Wu only went to 30%)

Is it just because its at the beginning of the season?
momof3luvs1 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Anyone remember when the big toy clearance is at Target in July? I cant eremember if it is the beginning/middle or end of themonth. Thanks =)
lovetoshopCA Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Do you know why this is? I find very little marked down at any of my Targets anymore. Is it just because its at the beginning of the season?It is a real change, and probably permanent. They had too much clearance before and it was killing them financially. They changed to a Just In Time ordering system which keeps their inventory from getting too big at any of the stores. This saves them a lot of money on warehousing and is supposed to minimize the need for clearance. It has had the unfortunate effect of also causing more outages of product than I remember them ever having in the past. It also means that they tend to clearance a LOT less and what they do clearance tends to be lots of a few items that just didn't sell well. Not sure how much it has really helped them financially as their overall numbers are still down.
lovetoshopCA Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Anyone remember when the big toy clearance is at Target in July? I cant eremember if it is the beginning/middle or end of themonth. Thanks =)It is usually the end of July / beginning of August. I am usually sweating it because I go to Comic Con, which is normally the 3rd week of July, but is earlier this year. It has been after Comic Con the last 3 years, though, so that would be about the last week of July.
