It's true though, all thrift stores smell exactly the same. And it's not good.

Threads like these always make me trudge into poor run-down areas to get to Goodwills that have nothing but SMB carts and Genesis sports games.
THANKS A LOT, KORIAN!
I wish there were Goodwills in Utah. The only equivalent we have are Mormon church-run Deseret Industries stores, which always have zero games. And then there's Savers...I think I saw a Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cart there. Once.
It's a thrift store.Quote:

An institutionalized garage sale, if you will.
Thanks! Also be wary of used Power Gloves...you don't wanna know where they've been...Quote:

The local Goodwill here never has anything but Atari games... but sometimes they will have old ass computers for 15 bucks. This is good considering these have old ass monitors with RCA inputs-much like the famed Commodore 64 monitor. I didn't need another one, though.
As the announcer from Sega Rally would say: "That's gotta hurt!" :(Quote:

I didn't have $13.
Needless to say, I suck.
Matt- That's a hella lot of awesome deals. I think I'd choke too if I saw that Supergrafx.Quote:

Best advice is to check on a weekly basis and look everywhere in the store as things are scattered everywhere.
Things have been slow lately for me as recently I noticed this old guy buying up every game he could get his hands on.
BTW I've never smelled any piss odors in my Goodwills, and I have a super sensitive nose.
Where do you live? I've been to some pretty scummy ones in urban parts of Jersey.Quote:

Hmm I take that back I was overpowered recently by some potenet odors in the kids section, left right away. I did happen to find a Japenese KOEI Macintosh PC game in hardcase with maps, flyers, promos, and old
pc games for cheap. The PC game was for fun as I have no way to play it.
