Thrift stores are awesome for finding fun stuff. I picke dup an old tape projector last week for $3, I have no idea what to do with it

Somethin bad I've noticed thrift stores doing. If they get soemhtig really good, say a GBA or an antique or soemthing, they won't put it up for sale in the store. They put it up on EBAY!

They have a sign that tells what auctions are going. Thats just annoying to me.

i fond some rare nes accessories for about $2
(Nes satellite, four way, extra controllers...)

Finding good deals is mainly luck, location,, timing, and most importantly... LUCK!

I live in SC and ocasionally go to Charleston where there are a lot of people...people with money...who give their old crap away... Look for the same thing around where you live.

PS i do like buying old records at the Goodwill stores....Yes i said records...you know the vinyl things...no i am not old...i like Van-Halen, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath.

Don't Patronize me!

I have a bad laserdisc habit since coming to Japan. They are everywhere for about a buck or two each.

I love thrift stores, there are 5 in my area, I go atleast once a week.

Last week I found a Super UFO Pro 8 for the SNES, it is a game copier from around '96. I can put .smc files on floppies and play them on a real SNES. Only paid $15. It had a bad floppy drive though, quick swap no problem.
