Garage Sale / Goodwill hunting.
DonHonk | 8:51 PM on 10.10.2008 8 comments



Always check Goodwill for game stuff, you'll often find awesome deals Today I scored DOUBLE!


First, I checked out a garage sale down the street, found an uber sweet box full of goodies.
It had:
One NES. (I already had one, but what the hell.)
1 NES controller. (Again, had one, now have two.)
And 35 NES GAMES!!!

Notables include: Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario Bros + Track and Field + Duck Hunt on one cart, 1943, and Zelda.


The box also contained a SNES, 1 controller, and 3 SNES games. They were, Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, Aladdin, and Lion King. All awesome games.

Heres the best part: Got it all for 15 bucks. Kick ass.


Then I went to Goodwill and found another awesome deal
Sega Genesis (Model One), 2 controllers, and 15 games!

Only games I'm keeping are Sonic 1 and 2, Ecco the Dolphin, and a Taz game. The rest are Sports games that I don't care about. Pretty much all of them are in mint condition.

Again, best part was that I got it for 20 bucks! I didn't see a tag on it, asked someone that works there for an offer. He said.. "How bout 20?" I'm like, hell yes son. I took it home and found a 50 dollar sticker that fell into the box. Sweeeeet.

I forgot to mention that the NES/SNES box also had a Best Of ZZ Top CD, and an N64 Memory Card.

I also got a Genesis and 3 complete games for it from Goodwill recently: Strider, Aladdin, and Castle Of Illusion. Nice! I passed up on Sonic 1, 2, and Altered Beast because I have all of them on other things already, and also Altered Beast sucks.

The games seem to change there weekly. I never had any luck at the one Goodwill in town, but a new one opened up a few months ago and has been bountiful.

I thought your were going to talk about the movie Good Will Hunting. I was a little excited as I love all of the Elliott Smith songs in that movie.
