Wow. Awesome day today! Went Goodwill hunting with my girl in tow and we found some awesome deals! First up, two swing music box sets for the price of one LP each (.77) along with the Rocky Horror Picture Show OST (.77) and two books of b-movie poster art! Then at check out I spied Banjo-Kazooie/Viva Pinata for 360 for $2. I had no console to play it on but figured "What the hell?". In line, this old man asked if I played "Those xbox games."and I told him no because the damn things are too expensive. He then proceeds to tell me that he has a 2010 model xbox 360 at his house that's never had a game put in it because his son bought it for him for media streaming but he hates it. Long story short, we waited in the Goodwill parking lot while he went home, disconnected it and brought it back so we could buy it for $30! HDMI, wireless controller, 256mb internal memory and one mother-effer of a power supply. It's also so clean I could eat off of it. Not bad!
I had to sell off my Neo CD back in March to help pay bills (out of work) and then found a job the very next month. I was pissed! lol But, I kept one of the control pads for whenever I decide to start plunking money down on a consolized MVS. I love the control pads. The sticks? Not so much.
Today I found Sonic 3 CIB, a beat up first party Genesis 3 button turbo controller and the receiverfor a pair of Akklaim wireless SNES controllers. My local Goodwill NEVER sells receivers and controllers as a set. Why they sell stuff like this piecemeal is beyond me.
While I'm dealing with this guy, my wife calls me and says there is a dealer with a bunch of stuff including a TG16 set. So as soon as I'm done I run over there and pick up this set for $15!
TG16
Turbo Tap
Turbo Stick joystick
Splatterhouse (loose)
At another dealer I got a loose copy of Yoshi's Cookie SNES for my wife for $3 (yawn)
All in all, a pretty good day! (And a fitting end to what has been a pretty lackluster season, the previously mentioned sealed Atari not withstanding.)
What's confusing about it? The guy has CLEARLY put a lot of effort into logging his collection. Don't blame him for your inability to properly understand a simple spreadsheet.
