Do you have any cool thrift store finds?

Here’s all the cool stuff I found at various thrift stores in my area. (I even work in one of them)

I totally remember getting that Donkey Kong Country tape in the mail, back when I was a Nintendo Power subscriber. Just randomly showed up one day. I also got a N64 preview tape, along with one for Star Fox 64 and Diddy Kong Racing. 99% sure I ended up taping over all of them

When I lived in Eugene, OR, the thrift shop finds were off the scale!

My personal favorites:

Lime Green iMac G3 w/ matching mouse and keyboard - $25
15" Sharp CRT TV (which I still use for my retro games) - $12.50
Sega Genesis Model 1 (complete with all hookups and two controllers) - $10
Panasonic VCR (which still works, and I still use) - $5
SO MANY assorted VHS and cassette tapes - 10 for $1

I miss when random old tech used to be so affordable

I got my PSP with all the trimmings: protective shell, memory card, charging cable & a stack of like 10 games including Monster Hunter Freedom, Ghost in the Shell & Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai. All for like $50. Fun fact, I even coincidentally made friends with the person who initially got rid of them years later

Otherwise, I've found some cool stuff now and then. River City Girls for PS5 with the soundtrack CD included. A dvd box set of WWF/WWE Royal Rumbles shows. The Godfather trilogy box set on VHS for $1.

I love a good thrift store, but you kinda gotta be in the right place at the right time for really good stuff

My younger brother and I found boxed copies of:
Metroid 2
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2
Yoshi's Cookie
Kirby's Dream Land
Aaaaand... One other that escapes me (my brother took that one)

They were only $20 a piece. I held onto them for a few years and sold them this year for $100-$200 a piece.
