Cool! Definitely worth $8! Pokemon stuff always seems to have pretty good value. I always pick up stuffed animals of Pokemon, considering I had some great luck selling those. My sister loves Pokemon to death though, so anything I find usually goes to her. She recently sold off a bunch of doubles that she had of the smaller Tomy Pokemon toys - made some decent cash. I don't know exact value or anything, but you got a truly great deal, I promise you that.Took a shot in the dark at Goodwill today and bought two large bags of what I thought were PVC Pokemon toys. Turns out they are the nicer Hasbro action figures, and I got a ton of them. Anyone know what these might be worth? I paid $8 for the whole lot.
IN BREAK! Who the hell is gonna spend $400+ on something that was dropped off at a Goodwill?! They are totally forgetting what kind of store they are! I either see nothing but crap, $30+ videogame systems that use to cost like $5-$20, $3 games turning into "what we saw on ebay", and crazy ass prices on everything except clothes. The only thing Ive seen lately that was a good deal is a Keurig for $50, its the same one I just bought for $100 "on sale" a few months ago! Hope yardsales are good this year because Im probably gonna just hit GW 2-3 times a week (I have been going at least every other day thinking Id find more if I went more....NOPE). Rant over! 
Nice haul, post some pics!
Saw that one, trust me I had my Ebay app opened! The fact Im trying to get across is someone just dropped that off at the store! It was probably something they couldnt sell at a yardsale or Estate sale. GW didnt pay a penny for it. They dont pay for most of the stuff sitting on the shelves. I think the stores around here are scared of becoming one of those you hear about on the news when someone finds something worth a lot! "we need to look up every single item on Ebay now!!!!"
I would of grabbed it at that price just for Zero Mission alone, that game is starting to get pricey now.
that's how ya do that parenting thing!
her I rule. If that's how you act in public, what do you model for your daughter (whom you probably assume is not paying attention and is not impressionable to your actions). at home.Sadly, those people are everywhere.did ok today (first time out in a while because of illness/life shit)
silent hill 2 disc only .50
Jurassic park warpath ps1- $2
Aladdin PS1-$2
Lion King PS1-$2
project eden 2.50
diablo 2 2 bucks
Full Metal Alchemist ipod sleeve sitcker pack- .50
2 DS lite systems- 4.99 each (sadly neither work, one does not charge the other charges but the power switch is busted)
anybody know how hard it would be to Frankenstein the 2 systems to make a working one? I have 7 days to return them, and might give it a shot. pm me or post or tweet or yell reaaallly loud.
also, while in line there were two customers in front of me. the couple in front of me (with their daughter) were very impatient about waiting, saying things like "this is taking to long" and "what is the hold up". the woman in front of them, about 25-ish, was asking about laptops that the GW sells refurbished. She had a faint- eastern European accent, and the cashier was not understanding what she was saying (not because of the accent, but because she was asking questions about the actually computer itself and the cashier admittedly stated she knows nothing about computers). Cashier calls the manager up front to help the customer, and the people in front of me move up. Manager is talking to the lady about the laptop and the guy in front of me says pretty loud "WELCOME TO AMERICA" and then gives me that look like "amirite" I proceeded to tell him that his parents/grandparents were immigrants to this country at one time and that yes, you should welcome this particular young lady to America in such a negative way because it is assholes like you whom make this country so great. (minus the profanity, I work with kids I don't swear in front of them).
The point of this rant is this- some people are straight up asshats, and to act that way not just in public, but in a ethnically racist way in front of your own damn kid in public is just sad. People like that make me sick, as if anglo-saxon English speaking people have lived here since the age of dinosaurs. I seriously can't stand that shit- you are in such a hurry because your life is the only important one in society and oh wait the person in front of me has an accent and she is in my way therefore she is a lesser human being than me because I am white and I am 'Murican so
TLDR- I bought a bunch of crap, people are racist assholes in front of the own kids in public.
'em. Sadly, those kids are probably going to grow up to be another generation of white trash.
Yeah I might consider a $37 wii, but all the "good" stuff wasn't part of the sale. Nothing quite as nice as wanting more for used than you can buy new.
thanks for that tip, it worked! now I just have to figure out the power switch on the other one.Sadly, those people are everywhere.
As for the DS Lite question, the one not charging can simply be a bad battery. My daughter's DSL stopped charging a few weeks back - the light wouldn't even turn on when plugged in. I had an extra battery lying around, so I swapped it out just to see and ¡voila! It fixed the problem.
So, just try taking the battery out of the one with the broken switch and put it in the other one.
Both you and Sp00ge are right on-
those people. Upon reflection, even 45 years ago people in the south had it much worse than what I saw. I am used to the subtitle "I am not a racist but..." comments from people, but a blatant display was just shocking to experience.I may be seeking your assistance on that soon. So far, I think it is just a spring on the power switch. But once I have time to get really into (about 2 weeks from now) I should know more.
I second this. The pain I endured trying to get the wifi card cable back under the cartridge slot.
yay the best find.
Nice find on IQ, I remember playing a demo of that back in the day, thought it was pretty fun. Also, it's possible that white box Nintendo console was a DS of some sort.'twas a nice day for me at savers with some retro goodness.

OH CRAP. That is the absolute biggest pain in the ass. The worst part is, I don't think the DS will turn on with it disconnected.
Nice, That should get a good $70-80 if you sell it, i still have 4 copies i keep forgetting to put up >_>Picked this up today. Otherwise I passed on a $24.99 Wii U Pro Controller. It was salvage and as is. Didn't want to take the chance.
It was the last version made by Sierra. They allowed custom paint jobs that aren't in the new games.
I think I might have a neck injury from it lol. Not sure if the DS won't turn on if its disconnected. The problems with the DS I had to fix was a blown fuse, which is also a pain. I just sold it for someone else to fix.
