Title: Guy rips off Target for most ridiculous deal ever
Post by: Hollywood on May 29, 2008, 11:47:06 PM
Saw this on cheap ass gamer. There's a coupon for $10 off XBox 360 that was scanned off a catalog that people have been printing off and using, which isn't supposed to be duplicated in the first place. Not only did he get the cashier to accept it, he got him to accept it for games that aren't even 360 games, and got him to STACK them. Look at the ridiculousness:

"My Target has the best employee ever. Grabbed a bunch of stuff, he grabbed my coupons and just started scanning. For $8 I got:

No More Heroes
Theme Park
House of the Dead 2 & 3
Devil May Cry 3
The Simpsons Game
Parappa the Rapper
Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars
Jeanne d'Arc

And about 15 various arcade download cards."

I count about $270 off due to ONE scanned coupon for a catalog.

I've gotten like 10 point cards and 6 random (meh) games with that coupon for a total of 60 bucks. It's amazing.

Why stop there, he should have given him like 400 coupons and made the cashier to pay him $4000.

Dude replied and said he came back the next day and said the guy wasn't there and was just told not to do it again. Man they really came down on the guy for giving up like $270 worth of stuff.  ::)

You own a 360 and you spend your coupons on Wii, PS3 and PSP games?

This guy isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Exactly. I'd be buying new 360 games and old ones I missed. I'd also stock up on Live and Points. I mean, he could of gotten a shitload of games for a reduced price then sold them for more online.

Dude said he wasn't planning on actually buying anything except clearance games and only had like a coupon for each 360 arcade card, and the dude just scanned at will for everything, even the games. I'm sure if he knew, he would have cleared out the place.

Where can I get the coupon and when does it expire?!  They probably caught on by tomorrow but my live membership just ran out.
