You know what they say, better late than never.

Dropped by my local GW on Saturday and the only thing I found was a box marked $20 and had a fat ps2 with all cables and controller and a black N64 with all cables and two controllers. PS2 works perfect, but I haven't had the chance to test the N64 yet.

As an update to an earlier post, I ended up selling those cameras I found. Ended up with $600 for the Canon GL2, $160 for the Metz flash, and $250 for the Kyocera 35mm. Not too shabby for a $20 investment.

Nice man!

That is true, thankfully it was only a participation grade today

just a quick goodwill story. went to the "will" earlier today and saw a PS3 version of DJ Hero Renegade edition for $20. im like sweeeet cracked it open to see the turntable and paper work, stickers etc all in mint condition, so far so good. wonder what condition the game disc is in.....open the game case and NO game disc to be found anywhere. Nice try will.

Found this for $10 today at a local thrift. The place hasn't been open for too long, and they barely had any games the last time I went in, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a small shelf of games started and to find this one.

Found this gem yesterday, but passed on it:



Chinese knockoff goodness at it's best!

Friend and I went to Goodwill yesterday and found a nice stack of PS1 games for $3 each. Discs look fantastic.

Street Fighter Collection 2
Tekken 3 (no manual)
Silent Hill
Resident Evil Survivor
Resident Evil 2 (Greatest Hits)
Clock Tower
Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto 2 (Greatest hits)
Arcade's Greatest Hits: Atari Collection 2

Stopped by Goodwill before grocery shopping yesterday and I snagged the following NES games: Paperboy, Excitebike, Tecmo Bowl, and T&C Surf Designs: Wood & Water Rage (I had never heard of this last one, which doesn't normally happen). They were $2.95 each, which is more than I'd like to pay, but it's incredibly rare to find anything cheaper than that around here and at least these are all a bit cheaper than eBay prices.

Pokemon Red and Pokemon Crystal, cart only- $8 apiece. Obviously these were from the GW with BS prices. Could easily double my $ though.

Adventures of Link, Bad Dudes, Super Mario Bros1, Karate Champ for NES. All 4 in the Nintendo sleeves, booklet for Bad Dudes. - $3 apiece

Street Fighter 2, Silent Hill and the Clock Tower games were some pretty good scores. My GW doesn't put out games anymore, they get shipped straight to Indy to be put up on the GW website.

Found a mint copy Tactics Ogre (GBA) complete at a thrift store for 7.99$

Goodwill
Mario 3D Land (3DS) - 7.99
Final Fantasy VII (PS1) - 5.99

Mario's a Target COB, so it's got a missing barcode. FFVII is missing the manual, but the discs are flawless and it's a black label copy. Works for me.

Make sure to check those GB games before you list them, just in case!

Nice finds this week.

You are now the 2012 cag thrift champion

Still waiting for someone to find a Neo Geo

Played them alittle on my GBASP, forgot to try the save though. Will test that sometime, just tossed them in my Gameboy case that looks like a giant old school GB for now.

Woo, 2nd place! I'll take it.

This thread was motivation for me to get out and see what I could find. I went to a few thrift stores this week and found some cool stuff.

First, a cool old game I found. It's almost complete, missing a few cards but still playable. Worth the $0.45.




Then I found some original NES games in boxes. Sure, the games suck, but I rarely see CIB NES games! Cost= $0.42




Finally, I found this awesome gentex military flight helmet. Looks like these things go for at least a couple hundred $$ online, so score! I even got another astrocom headset with it... and for the low price of $2.50!

As difficult a deal as that was to resist, I did find a bag of Atari Flashback 2s. Two of them for $25 and the more I think about it, I probably really should have bought them. :/
