Possibly my best Goodwill score ever...

[glynnahab]

So today at Goodwill I ran across a bunch of N64 games - all of which were rental games from Blockbuster.

For $2 each, I picked up:

Super Smash Bros.
Mario Kart 64
Mario Party 1
Mario Party 3
Hybrid Heaven
Zelda OoT
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing
Cruisin' USA
Pokemon Puzzle League
Pokemon Snap
Tonic Trouble

I'm not much of a Pokemon fan, but my kid is. And I took a chance on Tonic Trouble since it was so cheap. All the games have stickers on them - most on the actual game artwork. So I won't be able to remove anything, unfortunately.

Considering the value of the 1st party games I found today, this could be the best trip to Goodwill ever for me.

wow...great find! My goodwill likes to sell videogames for $4 or more.

I wish the Goodwill around me had games like that,the only games I found mostly are old Atari games.I did find some mint Dreamcast games: Zombie Revenge and Evil Dead for $2 each,the best Ive found so far.

Yoswa! Hell of a deal!

NICE! My Goodwill never has videogames. Maybe I should drive to a ritzier area and check the Goodwill's there...

I'd feel guilty buying anything like that at a goodwill. I see it as taking away the x-mas and birthday presents from some kid in a poor family.

[Ack]

Besides, every Goodwill I've been too really didn't have that much game-wise. Now I did pick up a great portrait of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, but hey...that's not games.

Yeah but that kid would just be resentful about getting "crappy" old games when his friends got XBox360 games. At least your going to play the games and enjoy them instead of taking out your frustration for daddy's alcoholism on the cartridges with a baseball bat.

I don't think that's true at all. A friend of mine was poor growing up and he loved all the old games he got. Actually, so did I, and we weren't poor at all, but I was always a generation behind.

Actually, the idea is that the money that goodwill makes off these sales goes to helping the needy and destitute. The people who work there (or the idea used to be) are supposed to be training towards learning a skill like running the cash register and taking inventory, etc... You shouldn't feel bad about it. Every time they sell something, that money is supposed to turn around and help.
