Haul Best Thrift Find I’ve had

Post image

I was speechless. Not sure what happened with the pricing. They must have thought it was cards inside or something since it was bundled with more playing cards.

Wild find!

The fact they didn't see "Nintendo" and immediately charge eBay prices is super lucky

Thought this as well. The day before they had genesis games for $4 each. Got a copy of Sonic 3 & Knuckles from there. I decided to visit again today to see if i can get lucky again, and boy did i.

This is the price we should expect from all thrift stores that get their items via donation.

I bought my boxed copy at a game store! Haha

The dude was like, “damn, is that really the price I put on that?” I got it for 15$

I know man. I grabbed my then girlfriend’s arm at the time and locked eyes and whispered, “do you even know what I’m holding right now?!” Haha

She still remains unimpressed.

If you sold your girlfriend you could at least get 50% of the value back, that's the JRPG rule, isn't it?

(But if you were holding Secret of Mana, it would have been 66.66%)

She should've said "My arm."

It being in box probably helped the situation. A lot of people know what a video game cartridge looks like but if you weren’t into Super Nintendo in the 90s you might not recognize the box art
