It's been a long time since I've been able to make a post like this, but yesterday I stopped in the thrift store across the street from where I live, and was looking through the movie section where they normally have their games. Diddnt see too much other than some PS2 and Xbox games. I turn around to walk away to check around and about tripped over a giant tote full of Sega Genesis games and a system! I started looking through the bin and saw cartridge after cartridge and was getting excited. So excited that i diddnt realize there was another tote full of games underneath! That one was stuffed with Nintendo games and an NES console. Even cooler was that a bunch of the SNES and Genesis games had stickers on them from 2 different rental stores I used to frequent as a kid, so some of them will be staying in the collection as cool nostalgia pieces with the stickers! In all they were only charging $50 each for the bins so needless to say it was quite the deal! Some highlights include on SNES Captain Commando, Knights of the Round, Mario kart, Mario world, on Genesis Blades of Vengance, Hellfire, Ranger X, Mario 64.

Holy smokes. Awesome! GOD DAMNIT WITH THE MARKER HEATHER!!!
im sure you know, But I’ve had great success taking a dry erase board marker ...this sounds dumb but you draw over the sharpie and then it loosens up the ink and you can wipe it off

Ha, I see this wasn't from the Spartanburg, SC area but, if it was, I was about to say that I knew this "Heather". A cousin of mine has been a gamer her whole life and that was her childhood era. I saw this and I immediately though "Oh no! What happened!" but if this was from Florida, it definitely is not her.

Very nice find, Penguin.

Exactly!  Haha I couldn’t believe how much Captain Commando was worth too.  There’s a handful of $20-30 loose genesis games in the pile too.  Hopefully they all work and clean up nicely!  I’m gonna leave some of the video store stickers because those are cool.

Very nice. Reminds me of the pre-2012 days. I'd stumble into my local Village Village hungover over on a Saturday morning and see piles and piles of NES and SNES carts.... to think I'd stand there, and debate paying $1.50 or $2.50 a cart...

Now, I'm lucky to see PS1 games in thrift stores. Where did the time go...

I can see it now...a sweet little girl named Heather let her friend borrow an SNES game. Said friend never returned the game and/or argued with her that the game was not hers.

Pissed off Heather stormed home and proceeded to write her name without a capital H in permanent marker on all of her SNES games. Then she popped in either Mario World, All-Stars, or Wayne's World which were clearly her favorites and played her anger away.
