My last good Goodwill find was a copy of Intelligent Qube - but then I opened the case and found out that some dickass stole the CD

>>1576681
The Goodwill stores in this area keep the discs in a binder behind the counter.

Salvation Army is the only chain thriftstore still under prices video games. Goodwill has goodwill.com which is straight up terrible. If you're lucky you might have auction cases at your local goodwill. A Kitty of people Butch about them but they're a lot better than goodwill.com because you're only competing against local bidders, you don't have to pay for shipping, and a lot fewer retards handle your merchandise and get a chance to damage it.

By and large though, most places price video games according to eBay so you night as well save tour gas money and get exactly what you want on eBay.

a couple years back i managed to score excitebike 64 for $4.00 from a goodwill.

not goodwill, but i also found "legend of the mystical ninja" for $6.00 in a pawn shop. i love that series of games, shame they are hard to find. mystical ninja starring goemon on 64 is still one of my favorite games. period.

>>1576681
That is why you open it up before you buy. I've run into quite a few disappointments because there was no disc in the case.

>>1576691
>By and large though, most places price video games according to eBay so you night as well save tour gas money and get exactly what you want on eBay.
But that takes the thrill out of the hunt, anon.

Now the only good places to look are the rare rummage sale with vidya stuff :/ (and the resellers clean those places out as soon as they can)

Got a copy of Valis for the sega genesis for $3 about a year ago at goodwill. Looked on ebay and people wanted like $50 + for it.

Lemmings and OH NO! More Lemmings for the Playstation for $3.

Before that, copies of Gran Turismo 1 and Resident Evil Director's Cut for the same price each.

And before that, Crazy Taxi 2 also for $3.

I found Pokemon Crystal and Yellow for $1 a piece at mine last week. Thats the only vidya Ive ever found, they usually have nothing.

>>1576625
theres a store here in fresno called BRE software, they've got just about every game for most consoles except Atari, only thing is they want to jew you out the ass for em'..20$ for pokemon red (gb) last I checked

>>1576625
Goodwill sends all of the good shit to their online store and the local store doesn't even get a cut of the profits. I don't even go in there anymore, as anything valuable won't be found behind the counter anymore.

>>1576707
People only want $50+ for complete copies in nice condition. Renovation games are very tough to come by complete with the manual and in good condition to boot, as they didn't sell very well and almost every single one you find is usually a former rental with a fucked up label.

I found a Model 2 Genesis for four bucks (half-off sale) but with no hookups.

I got 2112 on vinyl for $1 a few days ago. Thats not a game, but it was still a cool find.
Its a good place for PC games, no one ever checks those. Though they often price them by the case, so multi-disc games when spread out across several cases can cost quite a bit. Also, there's a boxed copy of call of duty 2 (the WW2 COD) for PC that they priced at $20 because cowadooty. Shits retarded.

A few years back I found me a copy of Crash Team Racing for 5 dollors. They also had a Game Gear, but didn't ask for its price because I dunno what's a good excuse to actually buy one.

Also:

>have this set of a wheel and pedals for racing games on PS2
>not big on racing, don't have any games compatible with it
>"oh well, I bet somebody else wants this"
>take to Goodwill
>weeks later clean up room, find the power adapter for it

And now somebody must have a wheel they can't use and must be cursing Goodwill all the way to Tartarus.

I sometimes have good finds at Goodwill but the last few months it hasn't had anything and I know it's because there's other people hunting now. The last time I went, I saw about 5 young guys digging through all the video games and electronics and checking prices on their cell phones. It was awful, that place is dead forever now.

>PSone with LCD screen $5
>GBC Atomic Purple $10
>Killer Instinct Gold $3
>Pokemon Ruby $3
>Puzzle Quest $3
>GBA SP $4
>360 controller $4
>SNES/Genesis controllers $3
>Playstation $2
>Xbox $10

Mario Kart 64, Pokemon Stadium and Mario Party 2 for $4 each, but that's about it.

>>1576691
The SA stores where I live sell games & DVDs for a flat $5 each, and since they're not tagged in any way, they almost never go on sale.

GW on the other hand will price anywhere from $2 to $7, the upper end if it's something they perceive as desirable (re: Mario.) And since they're individually tagged, they eventually go on sale.

>>1576625
This past week: (not to suggest it's like this every week)
Game Cube, Zelda Wind Waker $6
From another store, GC Need for Speed Underground, Golden Eye Rogue Agent, and Saturn Shining Force III, $5 for all three.

Off to eBay.

SNES:

wolfenstein 3d
mortal kombat 2
legend of the mystical ninja
ultraman

for $20

SNES:

wolfenstein 3d
mortal kombat 2
legend of the mystical ninja
ultraman

for $20.

last few things I got were
Castlevania 64 $3
OoT $3
MGS (black label-mint) $3

haven't had any good finds in a while though

From about 04 thru 08, I was getting decent finds at Goodwill just about every other week. It helped that there where about 10 within reasonable driving distance. When I was in college from 09-13, there was only one Goodwill in town and I hit up pretty frequently. My finds were pretty far between, but I was vigilant and found some decent stuff. Off the top of my head:

>Twisted Metal 4 $1
>Wipeout $1
>Rampage World Tour $1
>NES Open Tournament Golf $3
>NES Wheel of Fortune $3

As well as a smattering of non retro stuff. I've been in my current city for about a year and I haven't found dick at the 3 thrift stores in town.

>>1576628

>Shopping

Lol is this a supermarket or something?

You gotta go early man. I got pilotwings64 last time I was there. 5 bux.

Got a sealed copy of NWE Nitro for $4 and a PSOne for $10

Goodwill (here at least) has gotten aware of the internet, and of proper pricing guides

Whenever they have retro, the price matches the guides for good condition, even though the only things they have in the store are chipped, covered in resell stickers, or otherwise vandalized

Whenever they have rare retro or actual good condition retro, they just put it up on their online auction site

shopgoodwill.com

>>1577061

you git ripped off.

>work for Savers
>in charge of pricing games
>local popular retro store down the road rips off people like no tomorrow
>find things and sell at decent price way below they offer and ever better than Ebay, Amazon, or Craigslist
>no one buys after two days I get 50% off

I play fair, I've seen good games like Smash 64 go out for like $10, Complete Systems for $25.

>feelsgoodman.jpg

>mfw the local 2 Goodwills and Salvation Army are totally trashed and we're booming in business

>>1578296

There is a copy of Earthbound there that ends in less than an hour. Same price as ebay.

I have been having shit luck with thrift stores in general where I live. They all caught onto the demand for game collecting so they always put them in a glass case with a big sign usually saying something like COLLECTABLES over it and price them the same price as ebay. I did find that one edition of Blade Runner on Blu Ray that comes in the briefcase for like $50 once though.

I haven't done much vidya shopping at my local stores. Mainly I go for odd electronics, books, dishes or clothes. All-time best find has been an absolutely massive pair of 6-way speakers in near-pefect (the pots that control sound are worn out) working order. Thirty bucks. Otherwise its been a few random things like the odd pair of Xbox controllers, or a spare Dreamcast. Picked up a racing wheel at some point. And oh yes, an odd copy of Opposing Force that enabled the entire HL Platinum collection on Steam. That was nice.

>>1578317
How?

I got a SNES with 2 controllers, the DKC trilogy, Secrets of Evermore, and F-Zero for $85 on the Goodwill Auction site
Everything worked perfectly, but I feel like I didn't do so well.

>>1579041
That's ok. The guy who sole it to you feels good enough for both of you

I got Super R-Type for $5 a while back. Pretty happy with that

>>1576698
Chances are you're not going to get exactly what you want when you want it for the price you're willing to pay dicking around at garage sales and flea markets.

>>1579428
Not to mention that you CAN get a thrilling hunt on eBay all you have to do is look at completed auctions and you'll see some stuff you would have loved to have that went crazy cheap. Last year some guy in Florida apparently found a fucking shipping container full of Amiga CD32s, some of which went for like fifty bucks and somehow I missed out on it. I felt physically sick when I realized it.

>>1576681
>>1576696
Most Goodwills or just about any shop takes the disks out of the case and put them in a binder behind the counter so people won't steal them. I remember a Slackers I went to in the early 2000's had a little sign that said something along the lines of "All of the cases are empty. The games are safe behind the counter. If you steal a case in hopes that the game is there, employees will laugh at you".

>>1579024
You didn't. He was just being an asshole.

>>1576782
Shut the fuck up, please, for the love of the god don't tell people about that place

Doesn't Goodwill just throw anything halfway decent onto shopgoodwill.com where people overpay probably just as much as they would on ebay?

I worked at a good will doing inventory. We had an old lady drop off a box of factory sealed NES games. Super Mario 3, Excitebike, Castlevania, and Mario 2. I was so tempted. Company policy is that you can't have dibs. :(

>>1579532
I'd say fuck company policy, I never saw any factory sealed NES Games.

>>1579620

I'm with this dude. I'd front a friend the money (plus a bit extra so they'd actually want to do it) and have them buy it for me.

>>1579532
that would be the day i quit

>>1579512
Assuming they know it's halfway decent and the staff of the store it's donated at is knowledgeable at all. Not vidya, but I once saw someone pick up a working Technics SL1200 turntable for a couple bucks at an actual Goodwill store when they go for $500 on eBay.

I don't go to the Goodwill in my town because it's in a location that sucks for me to get to. I do, however, live right near two thrift stores owned by churches. One of them has a bunch of PS2 and XBox games (of which I recently picked up GTA3 and Guitar Hero 2 for nice and cheap), but I've also seen all kinds of old PC games there. One that I bought for $1 and got working in Win7 is Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

The other thrift store in my neighborhood had Tie Fighter. It play well enough on this old-ass laptop running XP, but the sound is a total bag of dicks. I remember reading some blogs about how to get that game running in Win7, but it involves downloading files from websites that no longer host them.

Back on topic, the best /vr/ find I've had at that particular thrift store was pic related. $3 for the whole package, and it works well enough for me.

You can always find good shit at Goodwill if you have a better eye for it than the pricers at that particular store. Infortunately, retro video games are pretty much widely known to be valuable.

Take a look at this picture I snapped of a whole shipping container full of good stuff that was donated to my local store but never even made it to the floor but was instead shipped off to fuck knows where.

For the record, things that Goodwill can't get rid of are shipped to Omaha Nebraska for liquidation. There's a Goodwill there that sells shit for $1 a pound and anything that isn't sold within an hour is destroyed. I found boxed copies of a few NES games last week.

>>1576625
The last time I found any game stuff at a goodwill that was endless copies of old versions of Maddan wasn't /vr/ and was about five years ago I think.

Found a fat PS2 with an internet adapter and a hard drive in it. Came with a multitap and a couple controllers. Bought it, took it home, opened it, and found a copy of the first DMC game in it. Still use it today.

>>1580286
why did you not steal that shit?

>>1580998
>stealing shit
>from a Goodwill

What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>1579532
Company policy is now that you ship those items off to be auctioned at the online goodwill auction site.

This is why I don't go to goodwill anymore. It's essentially a waste of time now unless the workers don't follow the rules..and ofc most do follow them.

>>1581020
if it's not going to be sold then its free game, nothing wrong with that in fact you're likely helping them so they don't have to throw out/ship as much

Not really retro, but I got a GameCube with no games, no hookups, and no controllers for $12 a few months ago.

I still have no idea if it works. I figure one of these days I'll take it to my used games store and have them test it, and if it works, sell it at a profit on eBay.

>>1581063
If it isn't retro, it doesn't belong in a thread in /vr/ asking posters for /vr/ content, now does it?

>>1581065
Well, when is /v/ ever going to have a thread like this?

>>1581065
>Has anyone here had any good luck at a Goodwill recently?

Sounds like anon had a bit of luck.

>>1581039
So basically store policy is that if it isn't absolute garbage that nobody in their right mind would want to buy it gets sent to shopgoodwill.com for "investor types" to overpay on since they think because the site is slightly less mainstream than ebay they must be getting a good deal?

>recently

if last year counts I scored Duck Tales 2 for $3

>>1581087
Lucky duck.

>>1581083

Please don't make fun of me and my $2 goodwill jeans.

Today I went to Goodwill and found a PS1 for 10 bucks with two controllers and a memory card. Got home and opened it up and it had Tekken 2 inside. Probably the best thing I've found at a Goodwill in years.

The only worthwhile game I found at a goodwill (near me) was Starcraft.
Every other time I've found fuck all.

Half Price Books, on the other hand, I've always found something amazing there. They know what they have most of the time, but everything I've ever wanted was decently priced.

>>1580998
B cuz he aint no nigger bioaeoaech

My vidya best find so far is SMB2 for $3. My best actual find, although not a collector, is someones whole pokemon collection for about $15, which I flipped for like 10x that amount.

Your local retro store has the number to every pawn and secondhand store in a 15 mile radius.

They call them whenever business is slow. They scoop everything then sell them at 5x the price.

That's why you haven't found anything in the last few years.

>>1581412
What was included in this collection?

>>1581416
This. I live in Boston and between Game Underground in Bam Ham Framingham and Sudden Impact and ACs in Winthrop and Everett, there is jack shit left in any used store.

>>1581412
>Reseller detected

Get out.

I honestly dont feel like driving 30 min to tge nearest Goodwill to check if they even have any vidya. I did find this redneck dude who sold me a complete PS2 with a copy of crash bandicoot 1 for $35. Probably best deal I've ever got.

>>1576625
Funny you should mention that, OP. I happen to work at a Goodwill and I had the best luck this week: 6 N64 gaymes (12$) (Mario 64, Waverace, Cruisin World and USA, Mario Kart and Star Wars Shadows), A WORKING N64 Controller (2$) (as in the Analog is not worn out), a 20 CD case with 15 PS1 games (4$) (6 I had, 2 didnt work, but the ones I wanted worked great, so fuck yar!), and Smash Bros Melee (2$). Thats only some of what I managed to snag overall.
And no, I do NOT hide the stuff so only I can grab it (I really should though...). I just keep my eyes peeled and pray I get out there before someone scoops up the goods. Someone once scooped up a Game Gear (With AC adaptor and everything) and another grabbed a ziploc FULL of GBA games (Good ones too. I saw the Pokemon colors along with some Sonic in there :( ).

I got Nights: Into Dreams for 3$ a few months ago. Goodwill's get ransacked too much in Indiana; I'm better off at flea markets.

I got Killer Instinct Gold for $7.00 at Half-Price books two days ago. It was the only n64 game they had at the time.

>>1581548
Not his fault they got taken for a ride

>>1580274
>Churches
>GTA

>>1580274
use a virtual machine you fag

>>1580286

That looks like the computer gaylord (no really, they call the shipping boxes gaylords). Goodwill has contract with Dell, so that's where all computer stuff gets sent. Obviously your coworkers don't know shit about computers, or they were just too lazy to do anything with it.

>>1581851
What are you trying to say exactly

>>1579989
How could I miss something I play all the time?

>>1580463
>latest version?
Yeah. I think it's only been there since 0.1

>>1581150
>When was this 32 bit era?
It was was around the time Sega stuck a 16/24/32 bit processor in the Genesis and called it 16 bit with blast processing.

>>1581416
You got it backwards. Every place that gets vidya in my town has my number and calls me when they get something I'm interested in. I give them pictures of stuff I want and they call me when they get something that looks like something in the pics.

Congratulations. You "earned" another participation award.

I bought an Nintendo64+controller(both in perfect condition, no controller ware) for $11 at one of those.

>>1581874
bro tell me that's a mod or something.

The last time I had any luck finding anything of note at Goodwill was 5 years ago.

Lying amongst old toasters and answering machines was a MINTY TurboExpress for $5. On a game/CD spinner rack, I found Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge for $2.99 a pop.

I'm pretty sure they didn't know what they had.

>>1581874
Did they get this beautiful angle with a mod or did I miss this in the game? It looks great.

>>1582696
some motherfucker stole my turboexpress when I was a sophomore in college. got all of my card-based games too.

>>1582763
Damn, sorry to hear that, anon. The TE is a great handheld.

I had one back in the '90s with the TV tuner. Good times!

The best stuff I ever found at Goodwill was an SNES for 8 bucks and an SNES super advantage fightstick for 4 bucks (the stick itself sucks balls but apparently it's worth a little bit)

Never found anything much at Goodwill, but i found a Famicom to NES game converter for 3$ at a local thrift store once.

>>1582226
So you're the kind of person who posts those ubiquitous "I BUY RETRO GAMES L@@K" ads all over the place?

Do you list the prices you'll pay for said games as well? Well, good luck getting someone to sell you Conker for $20

Found a really nice flat screen CRT yesterday at my local GW for $14. Game selection was shit, though.

>>1582763
If he didn't also steal your bike that would narrow the search for the culprit down to the two non-ethnic students on campus.

>>1583193
Yes. I have 5 Conkers. Why would I need any more?

>>1576625
I went to the goodwill store near my house today and it was shit

>>1576776
>Pokeman Yellow
>$1
Sell that shit.

I go to Value Village a lot (like Canadian Goodwill). In the last 50 visits this is all I've found worth buying:

-Crash 3: Warped ($7)
-Mario Party 7 (with Mario Kart: Double Dash disc inside instead) ($4)
-Battletoads for GB ($5)

I probably would've saved more on gas and time if I just bought it online for reseller prices, really.

Good luck finding deals. Goodwill now separates anything they think will be of any value to put online for auction, leaving their brick-and-mortar stores filled with just crap.


http://www.shopgoodwill.com/gallery.asp

Its tough finding games at my goodwill because they always put most vidya for auction but once in a while a game or two will slip by and be put on the shelves.

found this last time i was at Goodwill.

>>1585782
y-you... didn't buy it did you?

>>1585808
nope. i already have one that i got at a flea market for 3 dollars.

>>1576625

A couple of years back I found a mint Shenmue at $2.4

When the stupid fucking employee tore the shrinkwrap to check for discs, she used A FUCKING CUTTER

She scratched about 2cm of the back cover before I screamed "NO!" so loud everybody in a 50m radius stopped dead.

She handed me the double case trembling, I checked the discs and paid.

Stupid bitch.

>>1576625
I found a box copy of Ultima Online: The Second Age before. I got it for $5. I was very happy.

>>1585839

Wait, you mean it was a sealed copy and the fucking cunt opened it?

>>1585782

>29.99 for a crusty genesis

haha nope

>>1585896
Hello?? BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP!!

>>1585773
Usually I defend the auction cases but your store is obviously lazy as fuck not separating that into at LEAST three lots - it should be five or six, maybe even seven or eight considering how many PS2s are stacked up.

By putting it in one huge lot like that, only resellers will bid on it.

>>1576625
This last month, I paid about $100 for all

>>1576625
This last month, I paid about $100 for all>>1588340

Goodwill stores and pawn shops have been gold mines to me. I bought tons of cheap games thanks to them. Not to mention shitloads of books, some decent clothes that my sister alters for me, and good furniture. Also movies (albeit VHS).

Eh...these are alright I gue-OH SHIT WAIT THAT'S LITTLE SAMSON

I caught the electronics cart right as it came out.

That Pocket was $4 too. Leaf Green was in the SP.

Everything works.

>>1588584
Guess I need to move to Northern Georgia, where Goodwill doesn't seem to put all their electronics on ShopGoodwill. Or maybe Arkansas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, or Massachusetts. Or I could just stay in central CA, where we get yard sales all year round.

>>1588584
Let me buy that Pocket for $15 bro.

>Goodwill
never see vidya at them anymore, besides the occasional PSX console (with no hookups)

I still hit up swapmeets though. Need to start targeting yard sales too, I don't comb through them often enough.

pic related, latest swapmeet finds (not counting the records, those were from a record store)

prices were nothing amazing ($3 and $8 for PSO and TLOZ respectively), but it was my first time in a long time so hey why not

Goodwill industries targets communities that already have thrift stores and true charities that benefit the immediate community.
oh why would you support a for-profit place like goodwill when there exist places like salvation army?
only benefits cheap assholes like resellers and people who think of themselves as saints for
dropping their garbage off at the door.
Goodwill probably bases their prices off
online auctions anyway, not to mention flea markets are were the real deals are
You cant tell me there is anything special about the place, or even thrift stores in general.

I've gotten some ok stuff at thrift stores (Goodwill and others) in the past two months.

>>1589451

Aw shit, forgot pic.

I have great finds at thrift stores (much more so Salvation Army than Goodwill) but they're all /toy/ related.

I don't find anything /vr/ art thrift stores other than sports games or maybe on rare occasion something like a genesis missing hookups but still priced at like $100.

Wait wait wait, what the ever loving fuck is that Mega Man X jewel case? Is that like a PC version or the soundtrack or something? I need.

I live in Florida so we have dick-all for things in the way of stuff in thrift stores and flea markets. The last time I got anything good for a reasonable or insanely good price was about 2 years ago or so when I got a ton of stuff at a garage sale for $50 which included a boxed copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day, a Saturn Action Replay, and a bunch of $20+ Saturn games. The only other time was roughly around then when I picked up a boxed copy of Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em for roughly $2, and then from the same guy, a 3DO with a bunch of games and a (non-working) Odyssey2 with a bunch of games (mostly boxed, even if they were all beat up) for $125. Other than that, most of my collectors' items are from eBay, sadly.

>>1589532

It's the PC port of X3.

>>1576625
Muh best find was FF8 complete for 6 dollars, and I found DigimonWorld3 for 5 dollars in another local thrift store.

I got a Genesis for $7.50, with the disk drive.

>>1589365
I shop at Goodwill because my Salvation Army is run by Extreme Jewlords

Everything they have in the glass case has a print out of an ebay auction for the same item. They add $10 to whatever the price is on ebay.

>>1590080

>>1590080
>Everything they have in the glass case has a print out of an ebay auction for the same item. They add $10 to whatever the price is on ebay
theres a local christian place that does this stupid shit, I asked them once if they mislabeled a NES and they tried to tell me their 'factory' handles all that shit.
the factory is literally a bunch of volunteers in the back

>>1590080
Oh god, what shit. Thank goodness none of my 5 local SAs do this

Yeah, there's five of them around here. In NJ you find Salvation Armys everywhere

It all depends on your location, persistence is key.

I'm fortunate enough to go there 3-4 times every week because it's along the way of work/school, and I've been on a dry spell for about 2 months now.

But yesterday I finally found something! FF7, MGS, RE3, and FF10 for $1.99/each.

Just don't give up.

>>1590080
>>1590107
>>1590113
I just wish I know who's actually buying that shit to keep it from just piling up. If people are paying those prices THOSE are the people to hate. If not, then someone is buying that shit at a discount and I want to know how.

1. Volunteer
2. Steal things

I used to volunteer at a computer recycling place and everyone did this.

One time we got the old PA system from the airport. It was pretty cool. It was made in 2004 or something and ran DOS on a 386.

from my guesses they just steal it
I know I was on the verge of doing the same myself

I kind of collect Pockets. It's weird.

Do you need a Pocket? I have an extra regular blue one.

Everything is regional brah.
One SA close to me can charge close to $10 for a game, the other 50 cents.
One goodwill uses shopgoodwill.com, another doesn't and looks up every game on eBay, another prices between 2 and 4 dollars.
Generalizing with thrifts don't work

There are lots of outlets dude. Not just that one.

I've seen that picture before. Op claimed it was going to recycling.

>>1590984
I'm the one who posted it to start with. There's no way to be sure it's going to recycling but it was most likely going one of three places. Either Dell for "recycling", a Goodwill "Computerworks" store or somewhere to be put on shopgoodwill.com - We'll never know for sure.

Every good jihadist knows Abraham was a rag head.

most of them are starting to throw everything on ebay

>that day I got Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for $18

...

Oh wait, that's not retro.

just gotta keep trying OP

you have to think - some day or another someone for any random reason is going to cum in and sell off their collection. Anyway, most goodwill employees know the value of game carts, you need to be on the lookout for CD based games because they will think its shovelware to be paired with the music or movies sections

I got Tecmo Bowl for $2 yesterday from my goodwill. Nothing mind blowing but it's a fun game.

exactly the right attitude billy

i bought Columns for the MD the other day for $3; its not collectable, i can easily play it online and theres a million clones and variations of it, but i chose to buy it because it is fun

Just got a PS2 in in the soft-mod compatability range in with a good condition (though no hookups) a first party controller and another controller that's cosmeticly fine but has issues with its analog stick (should be repairable or parts if nothing else).

/vr/ because I'll use it for PS1 games.

Forgot to say it was a Slim (though that's implied) and cost me 34 USD for the set. Able to use my existing soft-moded memory card from my busted PS2 no problem.
