Dude that is wrong, but I do it too.

But not that cheap, if they upped the prce On I console I saw before for $5 bucks and they upped it to $10, I would peel the sticker off and put a $5 sticker on it.

I did this today with the Genesis, but the old ladies eyes were so bad, that she over looked the $5 sticker on the genesis and look at the price tag on the game that was in the system that was $2 bucks, so I got the System and the game for $2

Hey it was their falt for hireing old people.

and OMG they wanted $10 for a Genesis 1 Power cord, bull crap Im not paying that for a Powercord when I got the system at the same place for cheaper.

Oh one tip for goodwill, peel the stickers off the Controllers and the games and hook em up to the system and they will only charge for the System, trust me, I did this before.

Not stealing, more like ripping them off.

Hey they get enough of my money anyway, cheap B-tards keep raising the price of dirty Genesis and PS1 systems.

Heh charity, yeah right, they may donate most of the money to the unfortunate, but whats to say they are not keeping likearound half of the profits from selling stuff people donated to them.

So even if its a charity, they are not honest.

Bought an Xbox Controller today for Â£1.50 and various other things for cheap. The weather is nice now so there are lots of car boot sales. I saw a Mark II Mega Drive (Genesis) without any cables for Â£15! What kind of person would be stupid enough to pay that?

not really a thrift store or a Garage sale, but at Super wal-mart, they were clearanceing E-reader cards for a buck a peice, I bought ever single different game they had, and I got a Max Media Dock for $10 (Normally $40, or $30 I don't remember.

just need to order a compactflash card to use it =P.

This wasn't a garage sale, but a badass deal. I bought a Dell Inspiron 5100 (2.5 Ghz p4, 256 MB RAM , WORKING BATTERY

) with a fried hard drive for $30. I'm going to get another 512mb of RAM, and an 80GB HD for it soon. Only $44.50 left for me to finish it ( its $104.50 for the RAM + HD + S & H + tax.)

my haul today is completly 100% made of win!

TWO sony VPH-1272Q CRT multiscan projectors, a huge box of dual link dvi cables, all new. a money counting machine (came with the projectors for some reason, auctions are weird like that) and 2 model m keyboards for ibm terminals (dont work with pc according to internet, ebay away!)

to keep it in perspective that cubbard to the left is 6' tall from the floor to the top, the projected image is about 5' tall and 8' wide and it can go up to about 8x12 or so and still look really good! sorry for the quality of the pics, my camera hates the dark

grand total investment $29.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20$ for BOTH projectors and their remotes and ceiling mount hardware and the money counter
7.50$ for the box of cables probably around 100 cables total lol
2$ for the keyboards
