    Borders Unadvertised $1 SUPER CLEARANCE IN STORE ONLY YMMV Original Retail up to $49.95
    Borders has a SUPER CLEARANCE GOING ON with items for $1 that originally retailed at up to $49.99.

    This is the unadvertised aftermath of the "buy-1-get-1-free clearance items" that ended on Sunday Aug 2, 2009. Store employees informed me that this $1 clearance started on Monday August 3, 2009. Even store management at some stores have been unaware of the markdowns. YMMV and IN STORE ONLY.

    ****Both area display tags and the round red clearance price stickers on product have not been updated in many cases.

    ****Also, many of these items are mixed in with either regular bargain items or regular toy/board game sections without ANY clearance stickers.

    Here are the items I have found and purchased for $1 each:

    Mythology board game, orig $34.99
    Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass puzzle, org $17.95
    Dirty Dancing board game, orig $24.99
    Gone With the Wind puzzle, orig $15.99
    Breakfast at Tiffanys puzzle, orig $19.99
    Trivia Arcade DVD game, orig $14.99
    Syllables board game, orig $24.99
    Exquisite Creatures Bugs puzzle, orig $17.95
    2000 Piece Puzzles from Pomegranate, orig $19.99
    Guitar Hero Carabiner mini electronic game, orig $16.99
    High School Musical 2 DVD game, orig $24.99
    What's a Dame To Do board game, orig $29.99
    Watchmen Messenger Bag, orig $34.99
    Watchmen T-shirts
    Spider Man 2.1 WS Extended DVD 2-disc set, orig 19.99
    Diary of Anne Frank CD audio book 8 discs, orig $39.95
    Crime and Punishment CD audio book 21 discs, orig $49.95
    The Iliad by Homer CD audio book 15 discs, orig $34.95
    Death Note Light anime wall scroll, orig $19.99
    Death Note Ryuk anime wall scroll, orig $19.99
    And The Grammy Goes To... coffee table book with DVD, orig $39.95
    Dangerous Book for Boys board game, orig $24.99
    American Girl Mystery Puzzles set of 4 glow in the dark puzzles, list $16.99, bargain $5.99

    ***PLEASE UPDATE WIKI IF YOU FIND ADDITIONAL $1 ITEMS NOT ON MY LIST ABOVE. Thanks, and Good Luck!!

    This can and should be used by you to post updated deal information.
    Be sure to read this because it may contain answers to your questions!
    The OP calls it the What's a Girl to Do board game but it's the What's a DAME to Do board game. CORRECTED, thanks.

    Successful:
    Norman, Ok
    Fresno, CA
    Fresno, CA - in Riverpark
    San Mateo, CA
    Davenport, IA
    Fredericksburg, VA
    Victor, NY
    Joliet, IL (Borders Express in Louis-Joliet mall)
    Chestnut Hill, MA
    North Attleboro, MA
    Milford, CT
    Fashion Mall in Indianapolis, IN
    Nashua, NH
    Tampa, FL
    Columbus, Ohio (Sawmill Rd and Kenny Rd)
    Cranston, RI
    Unsuccessful:

    Marlborough, MA
    Burlington, MA
    Livingston NJ, Board games not on sale, annoyed the cashier.

    Notes: The deal appears to work on anything with a red $5 sticker, and anything with a light blue 4, 5 or 6 dollar sticker (even numbers only, not .99). Also use OP's list to find stuff that may not be on the clearance rack, such as audiobooks in the main audiobook section and games in the main games section.

    8811827 little girl's book Clara's Gift from the Heart - red $5 sticker, marked autographed by the author, regular $17.95
    8934702 novel about a guy making a deal with the mob Slip & Fall, $5 red sticker, reg $24.95
    9897152 Boobah storyworld stickers, took an extra 20% off that for some reason so .80
    8143588 Wiggles DVD - here comes the big red car, reg $19.99
    9360012 game - guitar hero carabiner, was $16.99
    8426879 audio book CD - Wuthering Heights, reg $35, red sticker "$19"
    8383658 audio book CD - Scarlett Letter, reg $35. red sticker "$19"
    Time for Kids - Don't Quote Me (Original $21.99, red sticker $1)

    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!

    Would this work at Waldenbooks?

    Also are these prices (even somewhat) nationwide?

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