That's amazing! I never find anything worthwhile at the Goodwill.

I got a PSX from a thrift shop recently for ONE dollar!

I had to gut it and clean it so the CD door would open up, other than that it worked just fine!

A year back, I also scored a Game Gear for 5 bucks with a case and the crappy Madden 95 game.

Then there's the countless Micro RCs I find for mere quarters.

(Many without their controllers) That's all of my finds I can think of right now.
Whoa wallydog, talk about rare finds

! Those are so cool, they could run for 20 or 30 times that on Ebay. Dunno about Home-Alone though.

Well this isnt much of a deal, but eh.

I got a PS1 (small white ps1)
3 games (Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Nascar 2003, Spec Ops)
1 Analog Controller
Power Cord
4 AV adapters
Digital Memory Card that has like 2000 pages, and like 50 blocks on each page (Gave it to my bro)

All that for $20.

The games are in like MINT, except Blood Omen which has a few scratces.

I think the analog maybe broke in the controller, as its somewhat slow at respond to movement BUT it maybe because I havnt played ps1 in a while.

It wasn't super recent (probably like a couple months ago) but I got:

- A Sega System
- Portable Sega CD
- 36 Games
- 4 Controllers
- A couple SNES games

All for.... 1$

and they all worked great! The owner lady, said no one had bought the stuff and it had been in there for a long time, and she just wanted to get rid of it. So I was like YES! But then I sold it for 50$ later <_<

But yeah, we don't have many thrift stores and stuff around here

Duke nukem plutonium pak $2
Half-life $2
Magic the gathering: Prodigal sorcerer $1(book)
Myst: book of d'ni $1 (to bad they didnt have the other ones)

I recently picked up a Yashica GSN for $20. Afterward I got it a battery adapter and did some minor case repair. Very clean to start with, though. Probably less than 10 rolls of film through her.

Just waiting on test shots to see if she needs her foam redone, or needs a new 'pad of death.'
It's my first rangefinder. So far, I think I love it.

I've been in kind of a slump when it comes to finding video game equipment that I don't have.

nice, you dont see yashicas too often. last time i did i think they were asking like ~100 for em. i should post pics of my camera collection sometime lol. 50+ cameras from pre 1900 to 1980s favorite of which is my zeiss ikon contessa

They make great cameras, but yashicas tend to be a bit looked down upon by camera geeks. I'm very happy, and figure it's the nicest rangefinder I'm going to be willing to spend the money on.
I also have a yashica slr around here somewhere

It wasn't my biggest thriftstore camera find though. back when I lived in california:

A couple 110 micro SLRs. I think they set me back $30-40, but they sure beat the standard spy camera.

tell me you didn't get the zeiss in a thrift shop...
