The twin cities dead for thrifting?

[S1500]

Last weekend, I came up with bupkis for finding anything interesting for thrifting. The only things I found was a Sega Saturn "flight stick" and an arcade-like controller, both by Sega.

 

But anything else? Nope. Nothing. Have all the thrifts dried up around here in favor of trying to make a quick buck off of EBay?

 

Heck, I wouldn't mind finding a plain cassette recorder for an upcoming project. Radio Shack, in all its anachronistic glory wants $31 for a bleepin' new tape recorder.

If you mean the Twin Cities as in Minneapolis/St. Paul then you will never find jack shit. I have been looking forever and never found a thing. Discland gets an occasional uncommon game but they are not a thrift store and they charge 5 times what it's worth

Thrift shops are dead EVERYWHERE now. Too many kids stealing from the companies trying to get rich on ebay.

So it's like the Marketplace section here?

I hear ya about thrifting being dead. Back in the day, there was nothing quite as exciting as going into a thrift and finding some rare gem with 45 cents grease penciled on it. Now, though, it's all clothes and stuff that smells vaguely of urine filling the stores. Damn shame.

Might as well bite.

 

1. Any vectrex cartridges. Not for collecting, but for playing. Ultimately, a multicart. I've owned a veccie fro the last 11 years, no carts for it.

 

2. A cassette program(it can be any program) for 1 of each system. It can be a copy, doesn't have to be original. I'll explain later.
