    Default Goodwill supidity?

    I was checking out the auctions on the Goodwill website and found one that I could not believe. Apparently the person preparing the auctions for this particular Goodwill store does not understand the concept of collecting some items. The auction is for 2 Odyssey 2 games. They are The Great Wall Street Fortune Hunt and Quest for the Rings!. The part that made me cringe was in the description where the person wrote, "both packages were sealed, I opened to view and take pictures."

    Here is the link to the auction.

    I was thinking about bidding, but I still have a complete copy of Quest for the Rings! that I can't get rid of.

    well what can you say? some people just don't understand, but if youre bidding on it youd better assume that some idiots are gonna be there.

    That's typical Goodwill for you. I just bought a SNES system from one of my Goodwills last week and it came bundled with loose Ecco and Sonic carts for some reason. Sometimes that place doesn't make any sense.

    Maybe they weren't factory sealed. Maybe someone re-sealed them planning to re-sell them, but died and his family donated them to Goodwill instead.

    I was wondering about that possibility, but the Quest For the Rings! looks totally new, although I can't remember if the brown markers came in a bag or not.
