Ever have the feeling that you need to go to a specific Goodwill? I woke up with that feeling, and was there when the doors opened. Good instincts I'd say, picked all this up for less than $50. First time coming across a Intellivision or a Coleco vision.

Good stuff! I recently picked up a Coleco w.o the power cord at a Goodwill. I'm jealous you can play yours! Lol Intellivios 2 is a great little system.

I get that feeling often...but with other thrift stores and pawn shops...like something is calling my name...usually I go with my gut and go to them and end up with some good stuff.

At $1.99 each, not a bad pick up at Goodwill to start off the year! My PS collection has blown up from 2 to 80 this past year, all from Goodwill.

We shall see how often I update, kind of miss doing it.

This second day of the year has treated me good as well. Stores are over flowing, every one is donating to make room for their new Christmas gadgets.

And those Mario Bros plushies look like they're at least 3 feet tall.

And I'm sorry to keep spamming your thread, but does that "Are you afraid of the dark" board game have the bonfire "Flashbang/Bang-site" or whatever? LOL!

Plus, there are people that buy broken PS2s for cash!

Not bad for $10 (it came with the cables and recceiver).

Though I will say, I want to call this number and tell the dude he's a cockgoblin for writing on his cube. It'll come off, but, bastard! I hate getting carts/systems with peoples names plastered all over it with permanent marker.

Just a question for you and whoever else, but how often do you buy PS2 Dual Shock controllers that end up not working? Seems like 50/50 for me on the last dozen or so that I have purchased. Either only half of the buttons work or none of them work at all. Maybe it's just my bad luck? At least I can take them in for an exchange, but damn.


I know this is an old post, but I felt compelled to reply. I too have experienced PS2 Dual Shock controllers being janky at Goodwill. I think they just put them out on the floor. Half of the time, I didn't check them until later, so I was stuck with it. I must have a box of about 50 of those controllers.

I'm enjoying this thread. Keep it going!
