At $30 it is still better priced than at GameStop! They'd only knock $5 off something that new even if it is used.
I hope whoever does buy it doesn't just turn around and resale it, but instead gives it a good home of its own.
I would have dropped $30 on that since I'm in the market for one not at the $60 price.
Yeah, but since it's at Goodwill, you'll open it up and find an N-Sync CD inside the case. Or maybe that's just me, every single time I ever try to buy a disc game there. Or it's empty and nobody knows where the disc went to.
At least this time it has the right disc. Besides this type of shop varies from location to location and chain to chain.
(Anecdote time) At the local D.I. (Deseret Industries, the Mormon clone of Goodwill Industries) I bought a copy of Fighter Maker (PSX) for $3, and got an unexpected extra in the form of a sports game in the second tray. Fighter Maker is one of those large case PlayStation games with swinging doors often used to accomodate additional discs. This game, however, had a large case not for an extra disc, but for the fat manual. Yet lo and behold, no manual was to be found, but instead this other game! So I got two games for the price of one. Considering I also bought a SNES copy of Darius Twin for $3 as well, it was a pretty good visit.
Seems like there often really good finds at GoodWill, but given how they exploit people with developmental disabilities (a loophole in the law allows them to employ these people in their stock/sorting rooms and pay them $0.25 an hour) I can't bring myself to shop there.

Well it's like my professor said in ethics class, "Legal does not equal moral."
Very true. I think it's pretty sad that people will patronize businesses that utilize unethical, and even immoral, business practices all in the name of a bargain. I admit it can be tempting, but when I know a particular company is sleazy - such as GoodWill and Wal-Mart - I choose to put principle ahead of bargains and deals. It's a pity more folks don't do the same.
