In the last couple of months at a Goodwill by my house, I've found an NES Control Deck and an Atari 2600 Jr, both complete in the box, both unused. $20 per system. I also found Rad Racer II MIP for $2.

Great finds, keep your fingers crossed that noone winds up invading your turf...I used to get great finds around here as all games were $1.50 at one place, but it dried up a few years ago.  It seems that every time I go to a different Salvation Army near my house someone is digging through their box of videogames (Which are way overpriced anyhow)

Cool, Nice find!! I havn't had much luck lately at goodwill, only stuff I've found are bad PS1 games like 'deathtrap dungeon'. The cover art looked cool, but the game is terrible LOL.

All the goodwills around me that I've checked do not seem to have ANYTHING good either.. When I'm lucky I can find some overpriced gamecube games....

I keep on looking though...

Just yesterday, I picked up a Dreamcast for $4 and a Fun 'n Games for $1 from my local Goodwill. The downside? Fun 'n Games was the Genesis version, and the Dreamcast was missing its AV cable (which I have a spare) and its controller (which I also have a spare). Oddly, it's my best find there since the SNES and N64 stuff I posted in the "Weekly Finds" thread...

Best way I have found to deal with turf invaders is to stand roughly 4-5ft away and just stare at them. No matter how awkward that shit gets, don't break the stone stare down. They won't be back.
