/vr/ - Retro Games

Sounds like complete bullshit especially since goodwill ships all their games to their online auction. Also, no goodwill price tags on any of those boxes

Tl;dr

You're full of shit.

Boom suck it hater.

And another for your momma.

They have Goodwill in Australia?

>>3392485
i was excited and had my phone upside down

I am shocked, my local Goodwill has a CIB Mario Bros 2 and wants $100 for it.

Congrats dude you are lucky. Now you just need to put them on your bookshelf and let them collect dust. Then start a YouTube channel where you sit in front of them.

The only CIB N64 game I ever found at Goodwill was Tony Hawk 1. My best score was Brave Fencer Musashi, Legend of Legaia, Parasite Eve, Bushido Blade 2, Soul Blade, Front Mission 3, and Twisted Metal 2&3 all complete for 50 cents each.

I found a few boxed SNES games a long long time ago at one, but never anything good since.

>>3392707
Meanwhile at goodwills in my area, there's a tiny shelf of games (which are all PS2 and Xbox shovelware) and pic related was priced at 7 fucking dollars.

it really depends what goodwill you go to
i used to scoop SNES and N64 games for 2-5$ at my local goodwill back in bridgeport

>>3392759
Funny, I saw that at a thrift shop in my area this morning too. That and Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec and Tony Hawk Underground.

>>3392467
Goodwill sells video games? Omw to goodwill now.

Nice find man!

I find tons of good shit at goodwill and value village (called savers in USA)

Today I found Mario Party 7, Mario Kart Double Dash and Donkey Konga 2 all CIB (inb4 not retro)

I find older stuff sometimes too, best I ever got was Clayfighter Sculptors Cut, Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 4

>>3393602
>value village just opened up near me
Might go today, hope I find something good

>>3393745
Value Village used to be a good place for finds, but as of recently they are on to the whole "we can make money off this shit" thing. But goodluck anyway!

woulda shat me britches. congrats.

>>3393745
good luck man don't be discouraged if you don't find anything the first couple times

>>3393859
Yeah unfortunately a good chunk of the stores now look them up and don't charge a set price for games anymore. Sometimes they are retarded and put shit like rockband and random crap in the showcase cabinets and leave the good stuff in the bins. You can still get deals sometimes even when they do charge more than they used to, it all depends who looks them up and prices them that day

>the 3 goodwills within driving distance have piles of genesis sports games for 99 cents
>when something good rolls in they action it off and goes to some sperg lord for double its ebay price
>found a massive pakistani thrift store in the ghetto
>nothing in the store is organized, complete chaos in all respects
>ask the nice lady behind the counter if they have any "bibeo gayums"
>she smiles and looks behind herself nervously at the literal wall of unorganized electronics from every era.
>spot a box with a psone controller sticking out of it
>"I would like to see what is in that box please"
>she smiles and lets me rummage through it unnatended
>find 3 near pristine snes/nes games for 5 dollars each
>all of them worth at least $50 a piece
>mention what a great deal this is to the cashier
>she smiles and doesnt speak english, pushes me through the line quickly while nodding and smiling

>Go to Value Village
>Check in the glass display showcase at the front
>Wii, system, 2 controllers no games, $100
>Xbox 360 system only, no cords no controllers, $89.99
>Go check out electronics section
>Find N64 system just sitting out in the open on the shelf, with cords and 2 controllers w/ fantastic sticks, for only $45 total

my local goodwill sucks, they never have any tg16 games, aside from that one time

>Go to my local Goodwill
>Every game is priced at what you would find it for on eBay.
>Shit still flies off the shelf, one time I was literally standing there debating buying a game and some guy swooped in and bought every NES game behind the glass at once.

Damn it OP, I'm jealous.

>>3392665
kek.

i'll actually probably sell them all, to put the money towards buying more consoles and flashcarts for them.
i have zero interest or space for cib collecting.

i'm keeping pokemon yellow since i loved playing that on my GB.

>>3393937
I was maybe a little young for the turbografix (born in 88) and grew up in a small town, but I never knew a single person that had one growing up. If Macaulay Culkin hadn't name-dropped it in an interview one time, I probably wouldn't have even known it existed in the pre-internet days

>>3393937

good lord where do you live? what fucking goodwill is this?

>(now ex-)wife works at Value Village
>regularly takes items she wants off the shelf, puts them behind counter, has coworkers sell them to her (with employee discount) when her shift is over
>ask her to do the same for me if she sees any RetroGaming goodies
>she gets home from work one day, tells me she sold some weird game system
>$10, complete in box, "vec" something
"A FUCKING VECTREX?!"
>"oh yeah, that was it."
>"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE IT FOR ME?"
>"oops, forgot, lol"
From then on, I made sure to check out that store every day myself. Never saw any deal as good as a $10 Vectrex, but did find a few good deals, like a beatmania IIDX controller for $5.

Also, it's been a few years, but I still jelly of this find: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Trqn67m9TUA

>>3392687
Your goodwills are in a timewarp?

>>3393937
holy shit how much were those twilight princesses?

>>3393915
> mentions what a great deal

Dont do this shit.

Shit like this is why places look up prices now and places like shopgoodwill exists.

Worst offenders are niggas that find something worth major bank and gotta go to the news saying "I found this picasso worth 100k for $5 at goodwill".

Shut yo damn mouth.

>>3393937
Nigga thats "the source" goodwill run store in the Carolinas.

All they carry is vidya.

ITT: goodwill drums up business by posting a few shoops

This anon here, these two posts inspired me to go to a thrift store >>3393859 >>3393887 but I ended up being lazy and just going to Talize (goodwill/value village rip off) and found these two. Got them both for $10 Canadian ($8 American) and sadly there was no a/v cable that came with either of them, but there was a power cable to power both of them and I am happy to say that they both have passed the first test of powering on Now I just have to hope they can actually run discs

Its a pretty similar situation here in the UK (at least, on face value).
The trick is to ask if they have anymore games out back.
More often than not they'll let you go out back with them and look through all the untouched stuff.
I found 3 LOTR lego sets, one sealed wii u game, abes oddysee and football manager 2016 in the past 3 days. Every item was £1 each.

Charity shops do get good stuff from time to time, not often, but it certainly happens.
The problem is it rarely reaches the shop floor (because of people like me).
I don't tend to buy from BHF or Oxfam however, since they go by amazon prices.
I believe you 100% btw OP, i've gotten plenty of similar hauls from bootsales and charity shops in the last few years.
But you need to be ultra persistant, and learn what days they get their deliveries in.
Befriending the managers helps enormously, a few shops actually have my number nowadays.

TLDR: well done OP

>>3395009
Anon here again, no pics this time but I can confirm that both of them (so far) work in every regard. Both of them run games perfectly fine

Actually i work at goodwill and we do no such thing. Thus is where i get 90% of my collection. Thing is, theres usually -not always-a guy like me getting first dibs on it. We inly scan and sell our books online
