I found this guy today for $25 at Goodwill:

Works great.  I figured you guys would appreciate how cool it is to find one of these things in the wild.

Wow $25 at a Goodwill?! I'm shocked that didn't end up on shopgoodwill.com considering how they handle most things of 1980s and 90s gaming stuff these days. Really good job, and looks super clean too. I hope a power cord and rf were included, but if not, who cares at that price.

By the way where in the state are you anyway if you don't mind my asking.  Down in my region (a few members are local here) things don't come that cheap and nice if ever at goodwill.

Im located outside of LA.

This particular Goodwill is a goldmine for consoles.  Three weeks ago I got a Saturn for $20, and back in October I found a Dreamcast for $15.  However they never have any games :/

The top loader didnt come with RF or AC, btw.

Ahh LA, SD county is more or less picked clean due to a large pile of on and a few offline resellers who do it as their actual job.

Another local finding cool stuff in the wild. I am definitely going to all the wrong places.

This is a rare Pokemon promo VHS, from Toys-R-Us, "A Sneak Peek at Pokemon". One of the taglines on the back of the videos is "Pokemon for Game Boy expected in stores September 29th".

$2 at GW.

By the way this is one of the weirdest fucking things Ive ever watched. Its like living in a parallel universe where pokemon doesnt exist.
