chas10e 798 Report post Posted October 6, 2018 the Goodwill's 'round here for most gaming stuff have them bagged & tagged with "Goodwill tech certified" label & pehaps a bit overpriced IMO they DO have a decent return policy so I suppose that may have something to do with the items being checked somehow. but I'd prefer the "curb & gutter warranty" ..... once it hits the curb, you got-'er 1 jmjustin6 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmjustin6 2,112 Report post Posted October 6, 2018 they DO have a decent return policy I dont think i have ever seen a goodwill with a return policy. Almost everything has "AS-IS" written on the items around here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmjustin6 2,112 Report post Posted October 6, 2018 5 Goodwills?! Yep there are 10 goodwills within 10 miles near me and most of them are actually relatively close to each other. So on days off when there is no traffic in the middle of the day i can hit 5 or more in say 2 or 3 hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RickR 10,378 Report post Posted October 6, 2018 Our Goodwills here have a return policy. 14 days, you can return it for a store credit. But you must leave the price sticker intact. It does not apply to media. So CD's, DVD's, and disc-based games are "as-is". 1 jmjustin6 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeeJ07 857 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Not Goodwill. This is my modest haul from today's citywide garage sale. DK Bongos for the Gamecube, Fable: The Journey for Xbox 360, and Jade Empire for the Xbox. The white computer-like device on the left is a V-Tech Smart Start Speller from the mid to late '80s. I especially like that faux floppy disk drive it has. The black thing on the right that looks like a calculator is a Unisonic 21 "Jimmy the Greek" Blackjack game/calculator, from 1977. As the picture shows, it still mostly works, but some of the keys appear to be broken. I believe it's now the oldest handheld in my collection.

LeeJ07 857 Report post Posted November 5, 2018 As promised, here is a picture of my great find from earlier today. It's a Coleco Telstar Classic Pong console, CIB, with instruction manual and original power cord. I got the whole thing for just $20. This is the first Pong Console in my collection. No idea yet if it actually works, though. 4 jmjustin6, RadioPoultry, RickR and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioPoultry 396 Report post Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) I found this at Goodwill earlier this month, still sealed: After putting it together, I found it came with this Flappy Bird game already installed: It uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller, which I wasn't familiar with before, but I'm enjoying programming for it. I was hoping to also find some coding projects for this particular kit online, but pretty much all I've found so far are the example projects provided by the company. Right now I'm working on a program inspired by an Apple II game I used to play called "Caverns of Callisto". The 8x8 screen is a bit of a limitation, but that's not about to stop me!

The controller is in pretty good shape. The stick is a little loose (7/10) Edited November 30, 2018 by jmjustin6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kamakazi20012 2,231 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 Sticks are easily replaced and not too terribly expensive. We got lucky...our grape one felt barely used. We use it but we are babying it as much as possible. I'm glad we have the usual standard issue N64 to help keep wear and tear off of the grape model. But you got lucky, too. $20 for any colored N64 is a steal. Might as well used the five finger discount card. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
