mojotv67 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Saw this today. It's what I wish every Goodwill was like. Anyone in the Charlotte, NC area? http://m.imgur.com/a/YEMPF Daaaamn this is awesome... Goodwill stores here in SoCal have NO selection so this is like classic game nirvana.

AtariLeaf Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That's kinda what goodwills and thrift stores in general looked like in the early 90's before ebay and retro gaming as a whole caught on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+pboland Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 All mine ever have is a ton of sports titles. That's because over the last 10 years (or so) the good game stuff that Goodwills would get, would go up on www.shopgoodwill.com. I know this because about 10+ years ago I use to get my stuff from our local goodwills. Then they all dried up within about a years time. That's when I noticed their auction site started have a very good game selection. Which makes me wonder what this means for the gaming section on their website. To have that much stuff in one store (the Grid) they would need to source it out from many points around the country. Right now the best sources are most likely the participating Goodwill stores that use their online auction site. If that's the case, they will not be able to open a very large number of these stores (or if they do they will be much smaller in size).

darthkur Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I wouldn't call $10 for Mortal Combat for the Genny or $40 for Enduro for the 2600 to be "insanely reasonable". Charolotte is a couple hours away so it's a bit too distant for a special trip just for that place. I'll be sure to check it out the next time I'm up there for a show or something.

24Fanatic365 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 As if "Goodwill" doesn't make entirely too much money as it is. For being a "charitable" organization, how many millions does their CEO make? As you can see, I'm not exactly a fan. Why would they be charging full retail plus 30% for stuff that was DONATED to them?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
