Are the walmart buck tins on sale yet?

Hi Porkchop3223, Buck will change out the blades on the 110 knives. I think this has a cost of $35.00 for each knife. If you look a few post's down you will see a topic listed as "blade swap address" this will give you the address where you can ship your 110's for a blade change or upgrade to one of the permium grade steel.
 
I checked-out a couple more of the Wal*Marts that are located near me tonight, and both stores had a dozen or more 110 Commemorative Tins in-stock. The "kicker" is that both stores are still charging $23.44 for the tins.

The Sporting Goods "associate" in one store tried selling me on the 110 Commemorative Tins, pointing out that the boxed 110s sell for $29.98, so, even without a post-holiday markdown, $23.44 for a 110 tin is still a good deal.... That's when I told him that I've already bought two 110 Commemorative Tins at $23.44, and one at 50%-off, for $11.72 plus tax.... He stopped trying to sell me, at that point.

I can wait for the sale...if they have one, eventually.

There were several dozen (more than I could easily count) $18 110's, in tins, neatly stacked on the shelf as of yesterday. Shrink-wrap intact on all boxes. Bot 2, though they all looked perfect thru the wrappers. Funny, when I called the sporting goods dept. the night before I was told that they only had 2 left.

Woodburn, OR WM: Open 24/7. Only closes Christmas Day.

I asked about discounting strategy and was told that deep temporary discounts often apply to only a certain area, several stores linked by geographic proximity (possibly managed by one person), and not to all stores at the same time. I would really enjoy a robust Froogle-like search ability to search stores for lowest prices. Think I'll send WM an email.

LM Kicks $23 + change still. Only 3 remained, clam packed, on the shelf next to the numerous tinned 110s.

2 blue Buck Metros in the closout case for $10 each.

Thank you kindly for the excellent bargain tip on the tinned 110s. Terrific gifts.

Best,

oregon

The Wally world in Durham NC. had 5 or so tins still at full price.

Same with my local Wally World; 8 left now, Commemorative Tin 110 (full price being $23.44)... :rolleyes:

BTW: Besides the sheath being made in China, the tin can also has a teeny weenie sticker saying "Tin made in China"... :D

Just as an aside, I've been bidding on 110's on eBay (mostly for parts); not good ones, or collectibles, but the ones I think nobody would want...later version, with scratches, ground down by Kennel-ration can opener/knife sharpener; initials stamped in them with 1/2" metal stamps; broken tips & re-ground to 2" point; etc... I'm holding my max bids to ~$17 [and figure $6 S&H], reasoning that any more and I can buy a new Wal-Mart tin-can 110...

...and I keep getting outbid... :eek: :rolleyes:

People are paying outrageous prices for "junkers"...

Now I'm reasoning that some people are buying them to blatantly take advantage of Buck's warranty policy; buy a broken blade 110 and get it replaced free + a polishing...

But figuring ~$24 for a junker, then postage to Buck (to rip them off on the warranty), and when you're done it's still a used 110...at more than a brand new Wal-Mart tin-can 110... :eek:

What are these people thinking??? :grumpy:
 
Chickentrax, your thinking and mine seems to be about the same. I watch eBay and have bought some "bargains" from time to time, but none lately. Seems these "other folks" keep running up the price. I bought two of the commemoratives, plan to carry one, save one for use as a gift. As for the upgrade, I can spend some of my Cabela's Bucks and get the upgraded 110 for $59 and with no cash outlay on my part. Folks are funny.

Can any one tell me how to post a picture to this forum? I see other folks do it so why can't I do it?

Happy New Year, Y'all! Jack

Paying members can "attach" a pic (the box is at the bottom of the posting page); deadbeats like me can only "link" a pic. If you have webspace on your ISP, or at PhotoBucket, you can link it with the
pic_01.jpg
format.

So...let's see some pics!!! :D
 
The 2 local stores I checked here either didn't have any or still had them at full price.

So, I came home empty handed. Oh well, can't win them all.

I can only think that people are collecting every single variation of Buck 110 no matter what the condition...If they were piecing 110's together to make EDC's or something, why bother??? Wal-Mart & K-Mart are still cheaper @ $29.95 regular price [yellow box]...Maybe to rip off Buck on warranty repair/replacement, but they're still paying too much for used goods...

As for the upgrade, I can spend some of my Cabela's Bucks and get the upgraded 110 for $59 and with no cash outlay on my part.

Oh, boy...Here we go...What's Cabela's Bucks??? :eek: Buy so much from them and rack up points toward free purchases??? ;) I haven't bought anything from them, so I don't know anything about them...

(Other Forum members will testify that I know nothing about hunting...) :D

Heh, heh...Mastodon antlers...I'm still laughing about that... :D ;) :foot:

What? You mean you haven't spilled for the Cabela's Alaskan Guide 110? :eek: :eek: :eek: Come on Trax....you don't know what you're missin! Great looking 110 with rosewood scales and an S30V blade with the titanium aluminum nitride coating! A great bargain at $59.99 :)
 
Went to our Walmart last Thursday to check on sales & the Commemorative 110's we're reduced to $12. I picked up a few & went back yesterday to see if any we're left. They still had about 12, but they we're back up to their regular price of $23.44. Not sure why they went back up & didn't ask. I'm sure they will get reduced again at some point, although maybe not to $12.
 
The local WM had one left that had been returned unopened for $23, no deep discount. It's been there the last three visits I made. I had already bought one early on while they were still in the aisle display.

















Well.......I couldn't just leave it there, now could I?:o :) I'm up to (3)110's, (2)560's, an 889 and a bunch of others.
 
WM in Woodburn, OR has at least 20 tinned Buck #110 on the clearance isle, no longer in the sporting goods area $15. They all look perfect: shrink-wrapped, no dents, clean, price marked in red. The clearance isle is somewhat hard to find, about mid-store.

Unfortunately, I missed out on the $15 LM Kicks, which the clerk said cleared out lickity split. Maybe next year. I could not find a reasonable deal (less than $8 delivered) on the clip, for pocket carry, so probably just as well. Dang it all...

The super center near me said that they reduced them to $6 this morning.:D They sold out before I got there.:mad:

Tom
 
$6, WOW! Are they selling below their cost? Why?

I would buy 100 at that price.

I would like to be able to search each stores clearance items online. Save gas/time and capture that bargain perhaps. The store's manager can search each store's inventory, stores that they manage (several, sometimes), with a handheld device. I want one. I need to get acquainted with a WM employee. Anybody...volunteers needed.

Suppose, however, they want you to come into the store.

The Walmart closest to me has about 40 or 50 tins left still priced at $23.99, but they're not out where most people would think so that's why they're not selling (at least that's what I think). If I had the cash I'd grab about 10 of them, but unforunatly no spare cash. :jerkit:
 
While out of town I went to the walmart in Chico, CA. They had about 10 cans left and were still at full price. However, after my 9th trip to the local walmart (Suisun, CA) they dropped their price by 6.44. So I go two more for 17.00 each; they still have about 20 left. I'll keep going back every few days and hope to find them for $6.00!!!! One can only hope.
 
I was at the Walmart here in Port Richey, Florida and they were out of the tinned 110's...When I asked about them with the fella in sprting goods he said they sold the last ones 2 days ago and that they had been marked down to $11.00...That I didn't want to hear...:confused: :( :mad:
 
WM clearance price drop is formulaic. Not capricious.

Talked to a clerk at the Woodburn, OR WM about how and when the clearance items prices drop. She said that a clerk would come by with a scanner, scan the $15 tinned bucks, and depending on how long the item was at its current price then the scanner would either change or leave the price the same.

She did not offer any specific predictive strategy to me. That is, she did not tell me how long I had to wait. Instead, she left the clearance isle promptly.

So, unlike waiting for a win in Vegas (the longer you play the poorer you become), the longer you wait then the greater the chance of a price drop.
