The best time I got to be Some Guy at Goodwill was when I got me a literal armful of NES games at two bucks each. I saw a guy go wide-eyed as I walked away and immediately dive into the bin I'd been pulling them from. I left a few, but not many. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magmavision2000 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I decided to go to two thrift stores for the first time in months and besides unreasonably priced items ($200 5-year-old flatscreens and $30 VCRs), I did find a cool 25" Quasar TV from 1989 for $10. It's not in the house yet, but I'll post a picture when it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some sweat, and a little bit of blood, here it is: That's the 3rd CRT in my room. and the 6th one (I think) in my house (they were under a dollar, how could I pass that up?). This is also my first Quasar. Edited July 10, 2020 by Magmavision2000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It's not really earth shattering, but I found these in a bundle for $10 today all PC CD games. MS Combat Flight Simulator WWII Euro Series Age of Empires II Warcraft II Battle.net edition WC III Frozen Throne expansion Janes Fighters Anthology Halo Combat Evolved Already installed Halo, used to enjoy the PC version after it was patched due to sabotage on release to make the xbox release play/look nicer. The Expansion isn't worth much, but the others are like $10 games so I'm pleased. The expansion disc is scuffed up, but the rest are near spotless, minimal wear too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Good call, and I do know of a few places that did this, think I know of one that still may do it too but just not sure if it's only on their own stock. The thing is Frozen Throne is worth all of like $5, so it's not like I'm all that worried about it if it at least works you know? The others are spotless or darn near so which is good. Halo I put a couple hours on at least yesterday until it got a little tiresome. I recently saw the entire franchise hit Steam for PC and at a really affordable price even without those seasonal discounts, so I was kind of contemplating it anyway. I figure if I can stick with one, maybe I'll grab the bundle and start. I'm not into attaching pictures when I don't put them on my computer, but I did have a stinger of a good cheap find earlier ago when I found a deal for $2/game for Wii stuff. The "worst" deal was peaceful and calm fun underwater game Endless Ocean, but where the wow points come in, a complete unsealed folded cover copy of Wii Sports, but then right next to that is a sticker sealed same style copy of Wii Sports and Sports Resort too. Yup, 2 new games for $2 on a slip which used to value like $5 and used ones are like $30 these days, not sure what the new ones are worth, but likely not much higher lacking a case and manual for resort since its bundled system has the tall manual on that.

0078265317 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Also not a thrift exactly. But I got a good deal today on ebay. 8 dollars and 89 cents with free shipping. I used some ebay bucks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/293622243552 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chicgamer Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Not a massive find, but it made me super happy today to find Pac-Man Fever at Goodwill for $1. I didn't realize it until I got home, but the Six Million Dollar Man "Elves' Revolt" was tucked inside the record sleeve as well. It makes me wonder if the Lee Majors bit in Scrooged was inspired by this. Edited July 13, 2020 by chicgamer Bloody typo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one of those, but it's a 12". Comes with a comic book...I don't remember ever listening to it when I was little, but pretty sure it's just like a radio serial read-along thing. We have another one that's like spoopy Halloween stories, and for whatever reason has two copies of each disc. I thought we had a Popeye one, but maybe that one belonged to a cousin, because I can't find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I have a 45 of Pac-Man Fever but it just has a generic sleeve and no jacket. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Not that I have a boom box anymore but I wish I still had my old Pac-Man tape, but I wore it out. I know there's a CD, but it's not easy to come across without getting hosed (ebay bin trolls.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonGrafx-16 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Oh that Pac-Man Fever record was the album? I just assumed it was the 45 cause it looked the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Got this today. Not worth much. But I had one bitd. And I ruined the disk. Been looking on ebay but hard to find exactly that first version. And especially mint with box. Looks like seal on floppy inside has not been broken either. https://www.ebay.com/itm/373112002000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow dude...original DOS based MS Flight Sim. That's impressive. First one I think I ever messed with was where it had like early faux polygonal models and you flew like a cessna to start, was DOS based, but in the era of either 3.11 or 95 for windows.
