    Default Goodwill Findings

    I find the common games on a daily basis;especially Atari 2600.I have a deep inner desire to collect these games that I already have copies of..Should I hoard these games?Is this normal?To me, these games seem like little treasures that I can buy for 70 cents a piece...I love Atari because it was a part of my childhood but I don't have any interest in playing it anymore;even tho I have 5 2600 systems..I feel like I might have a fever.....I'm gonna go lie down...

    My best Goodwill find was a Vanity Fair Electronic Bowling unit, without the battery cover, for under $2. I also found two used copies of The Sims 2 for $7 each. I didn't jump on it though, and I came back the next day... and they were gone! I should have jumped on it. Oh well.
    Anyway, collecting cheap commons is a good way to build up your collection. That is, use it as trade bait, or just sell it off!

    I will finally admit it...I have never shopped at any Goodwill stores. No particular reason why, I just have never stopped in. I may be missing out on some good finds. :/

    Very good advice...Thank you!!!I guess I can add a third copy of skiing and barnstorming to my collection!!Maybe I am just looking for an excuse to buy more games but I am thinking I need to refine my collection a bit...I have a vision of video games becoming a little square(about the size of an acid drop) or a mini cd(half dollar) and we will be playing them on our cell phones...

    "Will"? I think every cell phone produced in the last few years plays games.

    Ever heard of an Ngage?
