Stopped at the local Goodwill on the way home last night.
Looking for any Target clearance games.

Nothing in the case, except as I am starting to leave, the old guy manager is coming my way with a bin. Inside are two Ipod boxes. He puts both in the case.

Before I can ask, another employee asks for one. I immediately ask for the other.
Without even looking at price. I opened the box to see if everything is there and it was.

I scored a 20 Gig Ipod Color for $49.99. :D
Some wear, and it looks like a Target return.
I was a little mad, as the other was a 60 gig for $75.
But can't complain as I got 20 gig for the cost of a 1 Gig SD card.
 
Wow, very very nice.

You'd think these thrift stores would get a clue and sell really desirable stuff like this on eBay to maximize the money they generate for the good things they do. I mean I can see a GW worker not knowing some rare old video game is valuable, but everyone knows iPods go for nice money.

One of my local thrift stores actually does that, but I still find really nice deals there every so often.

I'm gonna assume the employee working got first dibs, and I'm sure that they picked the bigger one.
 
Now that deserves a find of the year award!:applause: I guess this one more reason I should check my local thrift stores.
 
my local thrift stores are really smart everytime i check everything is way over priced. dreamcast controllers 12 a piece, sega genesis games at 10 a piece. bs/

The employee snagged the 60gig before I could.
I got sloppy seconds.

I love Goodwill. I may have had a better deal . . . last year I saw this Mario bobble heads (Target bonus) and they were getting messed up by kids. So, I bought 16 of the for $2 each. I traded one here on CAG for a cheap game and then hooked with two separate Japanese buyers on ebay making something over $300 in sellling 12 of them.

I recently got a nice Haggar shirt and Ralph Lauren Pants for $1.50 each.

The trick is that you have to go often to really see the good stuff.

Today I got a SNES ascii pad (with turbo functions) as new in box for $1.99.

And a Neverwinter Nights Versus Books strategy guide for $0.80. FOR TRADE

Yeah, but every time I leave the place I feel like I need an acid bath.

Mine is very clean. That's why I shop more there than Value Village which is a sty.
