Borders Unadvertised $1 SUPER CLEARANCE IN STORE ONLY YMMV Original Retail up to $49.95

**mastavic** · 08-07-2009, 12:39 AM

Thanks for the post. How can we tell which items are $1? Is there a certain tag on the items or are the items in a certain section or anything like that? Thanks.

They had this type of super clearance for $1 in March or April of this year at my Borders in Pgh. Where are you located? When I asked why the merchandise was so inexpensive, the cashier informed me it was returns that couldn't go back to the warehouse. Score for us!

Sometimes indicated, but more often, not. Unfortunately, Borders does not have price scanners throughout the store (like Target, Kmart, Toys R Us, etc) so I had to bring suspected items up to cashier to verify price. Of course, use my list, but feel free to add any good finds of your own!

Located in Fabulous Las Vegas! Some items seemed older, like Spiderman 2.1 DVD and High School Musical 2 DVD game. Others have multiple copies in multiple stores in regular games secton without any indication of clearance status. Some items "Borders Exclusives" like Dirty Dancing board game and And The Grammy Goes To book with DVD. Weird assortment, I hope the list grows!

Wow, thanks, OP.

some killer deals there op!

**nintendoangie** · 08-07-2009, 03:17 AM

Would this work at Waldenbooks?

Also are these prices (even somewhat) nationwide?

In any event, many thanks to the OP for the information!
