Went out of state today.

I was in Yuma Arizona.

Went to the two Goodwills there and I got some stuff.

Radioshack RF/cable switchbox $2.00

Brutal Legend Strategy guide $2.99
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Strategy guide $1.99

Biohazard JP Playstation $2.99

I am happy to now own the original version of Resident evil!

Small pickups today.
Aladdin (cart only) and Castle of Illusion (cart only) - $15
Not the craziest deal in the world, but I basically saved a couple bucks on games I've wanted to try for a while.

Aladdin was fun on Genesis.

Agreed. We need details. This looks too good to not have a story behind it.

I'm also curious about the Nintoaster that showed up at Goodwill. Like who has a Nintoaster made then figures they don't want it anymore and will give it up for nothing?

people generally refer to the original design of the NES as "Toaster" since you put the cart in like a piece of toast. I am sure he is not saying he actually got a Nintoaster (Which I have been thinking about making myself).

There's not too much to the story, but here it goes. So, my Mom woke me up early yesterday to go to this "Huge Moving Sale" my Grandma told her about. Well this moving sale was not huge and had nothing. So as we were leaving there was another tiny sign for a garage sale and followed that. As I was walking up to the house the lady instantly asked what I was looking for. I just told her I was looking for older video games. She responded with like Nintendo!? She showed me and to a box and the first two games I saw were Earthworm Jim and Yoshi's Island and I instantly asked how much each? She thought for a moment and asked if I'd give her $8. That was the fastest I've ever pulled money out of my wallet. As I handed her the money she kept saying you can sell these for a ton online your getting a great deal over and over again. I looked around for anything else and didn't find anything else. As soon as I got in the car I started going through them. The instant I saw Kirby Superstar I thought no way could this get better. But it did. Contra 3 and Super Mario RPG awaited me at the bottom of the box. I got home took the pictures and cleaned them up and now my SNES collection has moved from like 10 games to around 30. Not a super interesting story, but you guys wanted it

This easily puts any deal I've ever gotten to shame. Superb find!

The odd part is that she seemed to have an idea that they were worth something. You'd think she would have started with a bigger, rounder number. Either way, you scored big. Congrats!
