Yeah I know. OC GWs like in Westminster, Buena Park, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, all charge $25 for a wii/ps3/360 game. LA GoodWills have a fixed price (as far as i know) on games - $15 PS3/360/DS/3DS/Wii, the rest $5.99.

I had a really good day at a local thrift today

Conker's Bad Fur Day N64 $4
Super Mario 2 NES $5
Platinum Gamecube $4 I opened it up and it had a copy of Zelda Wind waker in it.
PS2 (disc drive broken) $4

I'd like to keep Conker for the collection but the flip is too good

Holy shit! That is a nice find. I have been looking for a complete copy for years.

I haven't really gone to check Gardon Grove and Westminster GWs but I can assume. I only went to one near 99 Ranch Market in Buena Park. Mostly Orange and Santa Ana are my areas. They don't charge that price but something similar. Sometimes cheap once in a while, maybe 7.99 or 9.99. Most were 20+ though. I wish they had the fixed price. Maybe the big one in Costa Mesa is fixed.

I know this was in the last page and everyone has pretty much moved on, but wow! A Wii U game at a Goodwill already?! And it's a good one?! My mind is blown right now.

Yeah. This copy came from Target.

Red Tag = Target (clearance/opened items)

Yeah, I was a bit confused about that showing up in a thrift store and then I noticed the red tag. I wasn't terribly surprised about the price, though; I'm assuming they probably have no idea that this is a new game for a new console.

Incredible find nonetheless. I got a few things yesterday.

Two Gamecube controllers (purple and black)- $2.25
Pokemon Colosseum (missing manual)- $2.25
Xbox Silent Hill 4 The Room (complete mint) $5.25

This Goodwill always confuses the hell out of me. Sometimes the games are $2, other times they're $3, and recently they have been marking up PS2 and Xbox games to $5.25. I guess it depends on who's there to mark it. Oh well.

Awesome finds, I always imagine / dream I'll stumble across a copy of MML2 in a GW someday, to make up for the one I sold foolishly years ago...

Only GW finds I had this weekend were:
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, complete, good condition $2.50
Balance Board, official Nintendo version, $6.50
Genesis Super Battleship, cartridge only, $0.50

I've been meaning to find a cheap Genesis game to test the console I got a couple of months ago, and for some reason I have had a hard time coming up with any Genesis games for awhile at local GWs.

All of my finds in the past few days.

Stopped at the North Versailles Goodwill Outlet (watch out sp00ge... I'm getting closer ) today.
Only picked up a few things, mainly a vintage Omnikey Ultra keyboard and a Ninja Gaiden III Tiger hand held (I went with someone else and they got a ton of crap though, so I got my stuff dirt cheap).

I used to go to the outlet every day, but haven't gone in months. I go every few months or so now. The regular "resident" customers are just too crazy and too territorial anymore, plus lat time I was there you couldn't even get a shopping cart, thanks to said "residents." And by resident, I mean the people that get literally stay there from open to close and have 5-6 carts full of stuff.

In addition, when I was still a regular there, they started pulling the really good stuff to list online, leaving mostly junk. It was just one more nail in the coffin.

Now, you stay the hell away from the North Huntingdon GW. That's my store!

Yeah, when we got there all the carts were in use. I end up having to grab one just as someone was leaving.
And there were dozens of carts lined up on the walls with blankets over them with people's names on paper slips while the owners took naps in their cars. Ridiculous.

I saw them pulling stuff at the Whitehall store for online today... Really explains why I haven't found anything there in years.

We probably would've went out to the North Huntingdon GW, had we not gotten to the outlet so late (it was only 4, but we had been out since 9 and it took a good 2+ hours to get home (shouldn't have went home via Lebanon Church, there's tons of traffic a bit south of Century III (I guess it's actually Curry Hollow there...) due to construction)).

Although, I was damned tempted to run up there the other day when you said you left some boxed PC games... They're my weakness.
Speaking of that... You ever go to the computer store they have in Lawrenceville? I was reading they have games there and was wondering if their prices were reasonable.

Oh, and I actually saw a GB E Merger (Game Boy backup thing) system thing in a bin... I was tempted to pick it up, just for a curiosity, but said screw it.

Picked up RE: COde veronica, RE 2, and crazy taxi all for dreamcast today. Not too fabulous at $2 each, but couldn't resist as I haven't found much lately.

I was able to haggle the thrift store employee since I offered to buy all the N64 games instead of cherry picking. So instead of me taking their best four games for $8 I got all nine games for $11. I might try this again.



All the games cleaned up nicely.

At another store.

I found a few anime seasons and a ti-89 at goodwill today. The other day I found a slingbox pro for $5.

Saw a stack of SNES games for the first time in forever.....all sports except "Joe and Mac". Didnt have a sticker on it (shouldve been $3) so the girl says "how much are these" and the girl who's worked there for a few months was like "uhhhh idk....50 cents?". So after tax I paid 54 cents for it.

worst thrift day ever yesterday - someone stole my wife's phone :(

I found this Pokemon wallscroll a while ago - is it anything special?

Nah, pretty cool wallscroll though.
