You found all that for $5 at a thrift store? That's pretty incredible!

that damned Belles quest seems to be hard to find complete in the wild for some reason "maybe its just me" definitely good deal on that lot.

Are you selling that genny 2 RF switch? I'll give you your $5 back for it.

How did all that sell for $5?! Was it crammed inside the torn, smelly box of some awful 80's board game or something?

What makes that deal all the more sweeter is the fact that Pitfall is clearly marked as 9.99, yet the knucklehead gave you that whole lot for 5 bucks. LOL Must of needed some quick drug money or something.

Yup, all the contents were stuffed into a ripped up torn old cardboard box. There was also other stuff at the bottom of the box (Star Wars cards, Pokemon cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards).

The thrift store that my bro and his g/f got this from is actually run by volunteers... those being old ladies... really old ladies. You know the kind.. well into their retirement years.

As for luck, this doesn't qualify as me finding it. I still need to come across a "robbery" like this sometime on my own...

Great find, you even managed to get Sothy posting/impressed! That makes this find rate A+INCREDIBLE.

Seriously, though, how did they manage it? Was it all stuck in some big bag? O_o *Edit for dumb question.
