I did not want to start a new thread, but I wanted to see what you (Digital Press Members) thought about something. Here is an example of what I find in my local Goodwill (see it kinda fits into this thread).

Saturday, I walk into Goodwill and see a clear green (atomic green?) N64 on the shelf with a black and a clear purple controller. There are no games, cables or power adaptor. I am interested as I do not have a N64. Turn it over to see the price, 19.99! Huh, kinda high, but maybe if I scrounge around I can find the AC adaptor and the AV cables. I grab both controllers and that is when I notice that they both have individual price tags on them for 9.99 each! Jaw drops, N64 goes back on the shelf. 40.00 for a N64 with two controllers and no way to hook it up to your TV or even power it on, no thanks. Keep walking....

.... I now find myself standing in front of the glass case that Goodwill uses to lock up the items that deem "to valuable" to have just sitting on the shelf (I have been to 3 Goodwill and they all seem to have this same setup). Look in side and what do I see? Another N64! Ok, lets try this again. It is the standard black N64, it has two controllers, both 1st party controllers. It also has the power supply and the TV hook ups. As a bonus it also has Mario 64, ok cool, how much? Glass shelf so I look up from the bottom to see the price.....79.99! Wowza McTrousers! Eighty bucks for a N64 and one game?

Now my question, am I over reacting? Are these the prices you are finding to be constant at your local Goodwill or thrift stores? I am not trying to play the "it was a donation, I should be able to buy it for next to nothing" card, but 80.00 for a N64, seems pretty high.

Your thoughts?
