I'm looking for Thrifts up this way....I live close enough to the city of Lowell, and the New Hampshire Borders for short trips, but don't mind traveling all the ways to Boston for a good Thrift or Goodwill were I have a good chance of fidning some game merchandise.

I've tried looking up this way..through Lowell and Other smaller towns nearby...but.. we really don't find anything. The Local Goodwill closed some.. I dunnoi...5 years ago? .

You should get in touch with the people of NECG if you not already did.

Most of the members are also on DP : ChristianScott, ClubNinja and such.

Damnit more competition moving in! @_@ LOL j/k Actually I dont know of any good places to go around here either. I just usually hunt on ebay, pay a little premium, and go from there. I do got to try hitting up some shops/ yard sales.

'tis true, the Lowell area is pretty damn dry. I used to search there when I worked at Crosspoint. As of about a year ago there was one little thrift near Crosspoint that one time turned up a pair of ROBs for me.

The only thing I've ever found around here was a dreamcast controller and master system 3d glasses missing the adapter. There's nothing good here.

yikes, even more hidden new england gamers...why do people skip the location part of their profile? anyways i hope you guys will make out to one of our meets in the future. go on and get on our emailing list.

my advice, go to the flea markets! southern NH is rich in large flea markets. everytime i've headed out that way i've come home with as many games as i could afford. although now that its fall most of the great outdoors ones are closed til spring.

use dexonline. Category = thrift + city = your city or nearby cities. Every thrift in the area will be listed.

I found some mint nintendo power issues 10-14, 2 ninja gaiden walkthroughs and a fun club issue but I didn't buy the funclub issue.
