Select Target Stores: 42" LG OLED42C3PUA C3 4K OLED evo Smart TV (2023 Model)

Had an interesting experience at the Target in Eagle Rock, a neighborhood of Los Angeles. I figured no way I'd get the deal because I never get these deals, but I saw the Eagle Rock Target showed 7 in stock around 10am today. Everywhere else said OOS. I didn't believe it but looked an hour later and it showed 5. I thought, oh wow, that could mean they actually have some and are selling at the clearance price. Being 15 min away, I figured worth a shot, so I jumped in my car and raced over there.

Two nice guys were waiting in the TV area. I asked if they were there for the C3. They said yeah and that the employee was getting them from the back! She rolled up with five on a cart and asked if I wanted one! I was shocked. The first guy bought two. The second guy bought one. I bought one, and a young guy showed up after me to get the last one. I almost bought two but when the younger guy showed up, figured I'd share the love.

Turns out, others had shown up earlier in the day but were turned away because the employees didn't think they had any. I happened to show up after they found them. Took them awhile to bring them up so must have been stored in some corner somewhere in their warehouse.

This is the first YMMV deal I've ever been fortunate enough to snag and my first ever 4K display so am very appreciative! Congrats to those who also found one and good luck to those still trying!

I checked my Target app this morning and it said the 42 inch was unavailable at my store. I drove over anyway and there was one left that rang up at $840. Asked for a manager and explained to him others were getting it at $360 somehow. He told me they don't price match clearance items, etc. I explained to him that others had luck with the manager somehow updating the price with the scanner. He then worked his magic with the scanner, printed a new scannable label sticker with the $360 price, and I was able to walk out with a brand new C3. For those of you still trying to get the price down… try using the phrase "Price Change Activation" with a manager. It's the phrasing he used and I hope it's helpful to someone.

Used the phrase and employee/manager didn't know what that meant.

Oh gosh I know that's frustrating. I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Fingers crossed it will work for others. I honestly just felt lucky I got someone that kind of seemed to know what they were doing.

Went for a 55, rang their last 42 at OP price. Picked up both.

What is the clearance price for the 55in?

Sounds kinda shady IMO
