Ghost Soldier Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Found a few thing's I'd been looking for last night. Uninvited NES 4.00 <~I've been looking for this for a long time. Mechanized Attack NES 4.00 Sega Genesis Model 2 Box with all internal cardboard Free Genesis Model 2 Manual Free Sonic 2 Manual Free Jurrasic Park Poster Free The box and insert's where sitting in the trash when I arrived at the store. They said they didn't have room to display the system in a box so they chucked it. They happily gave it to me, and I informed them that if they had anything else like that to just throw it back for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickHarrisMaine Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Also ran across a Salvation Army store on Rt 1 outside of Boston. Every jewel case for a video game had been stripped clean (except for the usual copy of Myst or Riven, no one even steals them!) of the videogame goodness inside. I was quite bummed to see a mint case and instructions for Starlancer for the DC, but no game..... What kind of serious a-hole steals from the Salvation Army?

Uzumaki Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 One Goodwill had 2 complete boxed... Guitar Hero II for XBox 360 $49.99 each. I seems to remember they were in high demand and were very hard to find last winter and now they are appearing in Goodwill already?? I'd bet my rarest 2600 game those 2 boxed set were actually store display model that other store (likely Target) used then packed and donated it for tax write off.

SINGLE TOOTH Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Last week I got: N64 controller $2 (The cord was kinda severed but repaired it. The analog control was nice and firm though.) N64 controller $3 firm analog joystick. Both were different days but at the same store. Today I got: SNES system, 2 controllers, Power supply, RF switch, A/V cables (still in original bag), Owner's manual, and 4 Games for $21. I had a 25% off birthday coupon I finally got to use. Then went back and got a few more games. The games were only $2 apiece, but mostly shitty sports games. A few ok ones though. Super bases loaded Olympic summer games Wing Commander NHLPA Hockey 93 Cliffhanger Air strike patrol Super Tennis Final Fight Black bass. Most had manuals, all had the plastic protector.

+FujiSkunk Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Two weekends in a row! After last week's Atari 2600 find, this weekend scored a whole box full of goodies. When the smoke cleared, I had an NES with 14 games, a Game Gear with Master System adapter, 2 GG games and 9 SMS games, Game Genies for both the NES and SNES, and a couple of other random things... all for less than $20. As cheap as that was, I was actually doing the thrift store staff a favor, as the box had a few other extra bonuses in the form of bugs and bug poop. Not exactly a pleasant experience, but with a good amount of soap, water and rubbing alcohol later, most of the stuff is running as good as new, and I got NES Ghostbusters and Mega Man 6 to add to my collection. Here's hoping the streak continues next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't even get me started on the Transformer comics they have in their glass case - I thought that the stack of them was priced at $50 - it turns out that's just how much the one ON TOP was marked for... Not only that, but the sign above their CDs says "CDs priced as marked" - and none are priced. I would be okay with this if they would just sell any disc that isn't marked for $2, but if it is a game, you just get surprised up at the register. It all depends on who is ringing it up. Went to the one out on Ireland Rd in South Bend and picked up Space Invaders for the 5200 and a N64 controller for $2 apiece, though.

Of course, after I posted that, I wound up going to the Ireland Rd., Grape, and Concord Mall-area goodwills - the one around concord mall had a Need For Speed Sega Saturn case that had three games in it (none particularly exciting - VF2, some football game, and something else - none of them were NFS) and was marked for $2. I figured I'd go ahead and pick it up since my previous NFS case was obliterated in 2002 by my idiot roommate (CD was still okay). I brought it up to the cash register where the woman proceeded to look at the case, asks me if it is a game, and then walks over to the phone to see if she could up the price! So now it isn't even safe to assume that the sticker price is what you'll be charged - it may just be a ploy! Elkhart Goodwilling just isn't what it used to be...
