Thrift Store Finds

Recommended Posts

Went to Goodwill yesterday, and came back with a pretty nice haul.

 

Found a Samsung Gear VR headset for just $4.99. Brand new, it costs like $99.

 

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Namco Museum case (a different game was inside it, but I had a caseless Namco Museum, so it works out), and Spider-Man for the Xbox.

Found some old PC games, too. You Don't Know Jack, SimCity 3000, Wing Commander: Prophecy, and 40 Best Windows 95 Games.

Hello Kitty is a DS game, still wrapped in plastic.

My JoyStick is an old IBM compatible joystick for younger children. It caught my eye with its thoroughly '90s box art.

Also found a Welcome to Playstation 3 demo blu-ray disc.

 

Lastly, Robots is the first UMD movie I've managed to add to my collection. However, it gets even better. When I opened the case to check the inside, I found that PSP demo disc stuck inside the case, too. I had no idea the PSP ever even had a demo disc. It has several non-playable game trailers, movie trailers, and music videos.

What a day!

 

I had the day off work, so I did a little thrift store shopping.

 

I found some CIB Intellivision games, one loose Pac Man, a Wii game for $0.75 and a PS2 game for $1.  And a Gremlins DVD.

I also got a very nice 19" monitor for my wife's PC.  I know what you're thinking...cheap SOB won't buy his wife a new monitor.  But here's the thing -- if I did, she'd get really mad at me because her old 15" square one was "just fine".  This one was only $7.50, so I don't think she'll be too mad.  Plus built in speakers makes her desk a little neater.

Finally, a pair of all-black Converse Chuck 2's.  Now normally, I don't even look at shoes at Goodwill because "ewwww" to used shoes.  But these ones were on a display shelf, my size, and they look brand new.  No wear at all on the inside heel, or the soles that I could see.  I don't think they even make Chuck 2's anymore.  Too bad, because they are a lot more comfortable that the originals.  $15.
