As with all thrift stores, it is hit or miss. At my goodwill, there will be nothing for a month, then all of a sudden 50+ games (all of which overpriced junk, but it is something)

You just need to check once in a while. You can't expect find the motherload by checking once. Haha. You might find a game or two next time. Maybe moar. It's just persistence that matters.

Most Goodwills and Thrifts aren't usually like the ones the others attend to. Reasonable pricing and all.

Part of me would want to open it to clean it out, but I swear I remember seeing pictures of someone opening an old game console to clean out rattling noises and finding a ton of bug carapaces inside.

I'll pop it open once (if) I find my screwdriver bit. With my luck, it will be loaded with dead roaches or something.

I got an Atari Jaguar at a yard sale once that was 100% submerged in water in a rubbermaid container. I just opened it up and cleaned it and let it dry out and it was full of dead roaches *barf*

You fool!
That's the only way to contain the Jaguar beast!
By removing it from the purifying water and cleaning out the guardian roaches, you've doomed us all!

I wish I had pawn shops like that around here.

Picked up Zelda 3ds for 8$. Love this pawn shop

Several days ago, I went to a thrift store in College Park (I think it's the ONLY thrift store in CP), and they sell video games (mostly just consoles - PS2s, Xboxes, GameCubes, Dreamcasts, plus controllers for N64, Genesis, Dreamcast, PS2, and Xbox). I managed to snag a working Game Boy Pocket for $7 (and it even had the battery cover)! Granted, the directional pad is shifting around in its socket, but hey, it still works!

I got these for $2 each at Goodwill. Their prices have been so random lately, so I was happy to see these at a decent price.

Just picked up a Alienware TactX mouse for 4 dollars at thrift store.

Just picked up a non-hdmi 360 at my local goodwill for 17.50, console only. Works just fine was kind of suprised since it an 06 model.

Picked up Kingdom Hearts (PS2) and Blood Omen 2 (PS2) for $4 each at goodwill. Both black labels, but no manuals :(

found this at goodwill for $8 lol.

^ I wish I found stuff like this at my local Goodwills...

is there some rule that every goodwill on the planet has to have a copy of RBI Baseball for Sega Genesis?
