Yesterdays Goodwill Store Pick-ups...

[Cmosfm]

Good finds in my opinion. All these games are mint, boxed, fully complete with every single thing that come with it (flyers, catalogs, pamphlets, etc), and they were all 1.49 each...

Ok, I know that most are sports games, but the quality of them blew my mind...I've never seen stuff at the Goodwill store look so new...much less boxed with everything that came with them! I don't think I got anything really rare because I'm not too up on my Master System or Atari games. I'm pretty sure the unscratched game card is hard to come by. Oh well, what do you think?

WOW! :eek 2: Thats pretty sexy sounding!
Got any pics yet?
And everything came in boxes? Damn!

I cant find anything lately in Edmonton at any of the thrift shops....anyone else having this problem?

Dang! I never see boxed Atari games (though I've only visited my Goodwill a few times, I never see these in my city), so that's not bad at all. Good finds :D

For me, I got some old computer stuff *free,* too bad they left it out in the rain. :P

Anyhow, one of the various things I found was an old ATI Wonder card, a dual display card, circa 1988! You don't see many of those.

One machine was a socket 2 and apparently had the processor pulled, but another had a 486/33 (judging from the case, it was a Gateway 2000 "something 33" -- I think there was an S in there, funny that I forget 'cuz it could be that this was an upgrade from a 486 SX (16 bit interface on a 32 bit chip) 33 to a DX (full 32 bit interface). There was some other stuff I left behind --old scanners (got two PCI or ISA interface cards for 'em though), nasty mice and keyboards (coulda used a mouseball though) and a monitor (I don't want to die...wet power supplies are bad enough, and this monitor may have had good amounts of screen burn but I didn't check). Anyhow, currently in the process of cleaning those up :D I left the case tops for one machine (small brand PC) and another didn't seem to have a brand, which isn't that great because these are desktop form PCs, but I'll make do anyhow. Even got a free CD-ROM in the one machine :D

Heh, the pictures arent great, but I just took them like this so I could see the titles and transfer them to my laptop at the store to add them to my IGN.com collection list. Here they are...

Dang! My Goodwill only carries shitty Genesis sports games that you can find cheaper at Gamestop! Lucky stiff...

[Half Japanese]

Damn, the better question is "what goodwill around here were you looking at?" Now I may not be a collector for the Atari or the SMS, but seeing ANYTHING other than overpriced scratched-beyond-recognition PC games would surely make me pee my pants just a little bit. At least that's been my impression at every thrift shop I've been to in the upstate area. And most of the pawns aren't a whole lot better (especially the ones that resurface all their damn discs with a skipDr). Good finds, especially to me, as I haven't seen anything of that caliber at a Goodwill! Best find for me was $15 Wavebirds.

Hey Justin...I was in the good ol' Spartanburg goodwill store. Theres a LOT of stuff to be found here, im usually first on it, but its a good place.

Oh, by the way, I went to Rhino Video Games...that place sucks beyond repair. They fill the walls with stuff, leave the floors empty, and you don't even know if the SNES, N64, Genesis, etc have a box or not with them. There NES selection didn't reach over 50 titles I believe. Plus as soon as I walked in the empty store I was ambushed by 3 sales associates. And approached twice while shopping, then when I DID ask a question about the boxes the guy seemed to be too dumb to answer it. Plus he treated me like a complete moron explaining how the boxes were cardboard and people usually RIP the box open when they bought the game...which is a complete lie. THey seem eager to sell, but they probably only have knowledge of Next gen games...plus again, they wont leave you the fuck alone!

Sweeet!!!

Congrats..

Dang, nice! I haven't seen Rambo before, myself...funny that it gets a custom logo on the spine when none of the other games in that lot do :P

[Balloon Fight]

Great finds! Atari 2600 complete, even for commons can sell for a good price now. Nothing extremely rare, but you obviously did well since all were complete.

[The S]

Yeah, I've got Rambo III...

I got 2 Atari 2600's, a Vic 20, about 30 VCS cartridges, and 5 controllers or so for $2 years and years ago at a yard sale. No boxes, however.

[MarioAllStar2600]

DUDE! Awsome find. Its a good find on its own but boxed! Everything is in mint condition. Frogs and Flys is a pretty good game for two players.

This year I found a brand new Atari 2600 system at Goodwill and also a new Gameboy adapter for the GAmecube. I bought both for $25.

All our Goodwill Chain stores here refuse to sell 2nd hand Electronics, cause they're afraid of getting sued if it's untested, which is just plain annoying. However, I have found 4 Wico Joysticks there this year alone... :evil:
