Clearance prices vary. Some $5 - $11.88.
I used brickseek (though not exactly the way you did) earlier tonight and lucked into the perfect store, the vast majority of vinyl was tucked at the bottom of the shelf and there was zero signage that anything was on clearance. So unless you were looking for it, almost no chance someone would randomly think they were on sale. Was able to pick-up AC/DC: Highway To Hell - $6.88 Beach Boys: Sounds Of Summer (Orange Marble) - $7.48 Billie Eilish: When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go (Glow In The Dark) - $6.88 Evanescence: Fallen (Silver) - $5.38 Kendrick Lamar: good kid, m.A.A.d City (Clear) - $5.38 Meatloaf: Bat Out Of Hell (Red & Black Swirl) - $6.58 Nirvana: Nevermind (Silver) - $7.48 There were others I didn't check (had to bring them up to the price scanner) or didn't want. Some non-exclusives were also scanning at least 50% off, like I saw a copy of the Beatles: White Album (Stereo) that was 50% off. A fair amount of exclusives were still regular price as well.
My selections haven't been as good. Nirvana : MTV unplugged (purple) $7.48 Amy Winehouse : Back To Black (pink) $11.88 I'd like to find; Billie Eilish Evanescence Abba Nirvana : Nevermind There's a Beatles Abbey Road w/T-shirt for $17.88. I might pick it up.
Guess I’ll be spending my morning on brickseek and driving to targets Naturally the one close has nothing
None of the stores around me have deals. However, if you live in Carmel, IN (suburb of Indianapolis) looks like your stores has a few of these on clearance!
After doing a bit of research last night, I went back to the Target I was at yesterday to pick up a few more things Was able to get: Billie Eilish: Don't Smile At Me (Red) _ $5.38 Go-Go's: Greatest Hits (Sea Glass) - $6.58 John Williams: Stars Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (Blue) - $12.48 Lana Del Ray: Born To Die (Red) - $6.58 N.W.A.: Straight Outta Compton - $7.48 Stevie Wonder: Number Ones (Red) - $8.38 Various Artist: Stax Number Ones (Red/White) - $10.98 That should be all for me unless more stores start doing this. If anyone is in the Chicago area, especially North Side, these were all found at the one at 2209 Howard St in Evanston There were still more copies of some of these and the ones I got before, along with others I didn't buy for one reason or another.
hendrix smash hits was $9.99 for me rolling stones honk $9.99 And on a whim i got the deluxe appetite for destruction (not the target edition) for $25. not half off but i figured why not i dont have it a lot of what is mentioned here as on clearance is full price at the target i checked so its a huge YMMV
Out of curiosity, did you try scanning these first yourself before bringing them to the counter? That what I tried and everything I checked were showing full price. I'm off to try a few more near me (FYI - I'm in the western suburbs).
I had verified the prices last night on brickseek, so I was confident they were actually on sale, but then I still did scan them in-store to make sure as well. So I would use brickseek at your starting point because if it doesn't show the sale price there (or it shows it, but it's out of stock), it won't be any different in the store. If you want the UPC from any of the ones I bought last night or today, I'm happy to list them to make brickseek a little easier.
Got it now. You're totally right.- that Born in the USA title I referenced earlier shows as 50% in the brickseek site, but showing full price online for that store. I'm guessing the Evanston store might be phasing out vinyl since so many titles are on at that location that aren't in the others. Thanks for the heads up!!
Possibly. But this isn't the first time they've had clearances on vinyl. Heck, I bought 4 or 5 Beatles LPs a few years back for about $7 apiece. The titles vary from store to store and the discounts will too.
Yeah, I've found LPs on clearance at my local Target before. Last year I got Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Greatest Hits for about $10.
Right. I remember getting a "Joshua Tree" remaster there on clearance a few years back for like 12 bucks.
I picked up several LPs on clearance at Target today. Marvin Gaye - #1's Purple Translucent Vinyl - $6.58 The Temptations - #1's Blue Translucent Vinyl - $10.98 Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA 180G - $12.98 The Beatles - Abbey Road Bundle Anniversary Edition w/Large T-Shirt - $17.98
So far I've picked up Amy Winehouse and Billie Ellish for my daughter. Using the Target card gives another 5% on top of that. So far I'm out the door for $14 with tax. Found a few other stores not too far that I'll hit first thing in the morning.
only one store near me had any stock on-sale, so i made out with about 11 LPs for $75. not bad at all. was hoping to grab the taylor swift and billie eilish, but no dice here!
Both of the ones I bought sounded good overall. The Marvin Gaye LP was really quiet, but the Temptations LP was a tad noisy at times.
Oof, struck out at 3 stores. Two of them didn’t sell music at all, the third had a music section reduced to an aisle end cap with only about 10 records. Really sad. Brickseek claimed that these locations had the records I wanted, and instead I wasted an hour and a half driving all over LA. Bummer.
