Savers is weird with their pricing. They'll sometimes put good stuff out at a low price, and it'll sell right away, so the next time they'll put out a combination of crap and good stuff at a stupid high price, and it'll sit on the shelf for a month before getting tossed in the dumpster. Then the next time after that they'll put stuff out for cheap again.
Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and Road Rash for $3 each, which the Wii titles were the cardboard sleeve versions.
Those ASCIIpads are great controllers. They're officially licensed and I think they use the same PCB and buttons as the official SNES controllers, but with the turbo commands added. I actually prefer them to the official controllers.Total F*CK moment today. I get there and see a dude holding a Super Gameboy cartridge, hear him say "dang thats it, I think someone got the system". Then his buddy was all like "dude look heres some games" and then eventually finds the system. Another friend walks up and they eventually have like 25 games. They got a mini SNES for $8 and at least Super Mario Kart, a Super Gameboy, Super Mario Allstars, and Donkey Kong Countrys but thats all I found out. Dude sees my NES controller tshirt and says "looking for games?" and I was like "honestly I see youve beaten me to the punch". He tells me about some little bag he left some games in and I check it out after they leave with the goods. I end up with these for $3 apiece.-
Ascii Pad, Super Pad, official controller, Congos Caper, Super Wrestlemania, Jurassic Park, Wheel Of Fortune Deluxe Edition, Bubsy, Tiny Tiny Toons Buster Busts Loose, Mario Paint, Pinball Dreams, Ms Pacman, Pac Attack, Space Invaders, Killer Instinct, and Super Offroad The Baja.
I never noticed that before. I have my mini-SNES sitting here and just checked the controller. Odd.
I think Nintendo at the time was trying to cut costs, and maybe it was a way for them to use the same controller shells for the different SNES/Super Famicom consoles they were selling at the time. They would have to put in whatever color buttons to go with whatever system they go with.
Last time I saw goldeneye at SAVERS they wanted 14.99 cart only. Luckilly, I had bought 2 copies at the same store 3 months prior for .99 each.
I was actually surprised they only wanted $1.99, considering that they wanted $3.99 for some of the N64 sports games. But I can never figure out the pricing at this store.
I ran into a similar situation a couple of weeks ago, saw a 360 with no accessories at Goodwill for $25 as well, but I didn't want to even bother with it. Even moreso if you saw it at Savers, at least the ones where I live are very stingy with returns.
Whenever I go to Goodwill the stickers usually say something like "Sold as is with no guarantee or warranty implied". Does that mean I can return these items?
Try using SImple Green. It works pretty well for me when I have corroded battery terminals. Just be careful, because if those leaky batteries have been in there a long time, the terminal springs may be brittle and snap off with little effort.
The stores near me only give store credit, if something is marked as-is then its non returnable, I usually stay away from those unless its an nes/snes
My goodwill offers full refunds for electronics items. Anything else gets credit.
Most car batteries are acid based, so using a base to clean up corrosion makes sense.
Alright slow it down Mr Wizard...or would Mr. White be a newer reference? Either way, thanks for the vinegar tip. I use 91% alcohol normally.
I'm not sure of it's composition, but simple green dissolves the corrosion. I never would have thought a basic cleaner would work so well but it does.
