All of my local Goodwills have majorly jacked prices up. I have seen $20 blurays.
Someone is researching prices online and pricing them based on ... something. Sold eBay auctions maybe?
Even dvds have crazy high prices.

The warranty transferred and it’s good until November of next year. I have one of those “all device” policies too with a low deductible.

Yeah that yahoo protect plus home plan for $15 a month and $99 per incident protects all the electronics/appliances in the home. Just gotta wait 30 calendar days before your first claim
The Yahoo Plus Protect Mobile plan has is $5 and $50 per incident and covers internals of the smartphone and front glass/screen, but not back glass cosmetic issues

Went home for Christmas but before any of that fun, I stopped off at an estate sale. Guy was a big sci-fi fan, but by the time I got there a lot of stuff was claimed and people were scanning away. I had to get going so I just grabbed a bunch of stuff and went to pay. Paid $178 for everything. 4K are sealed, Westworld and Austin Powers sets are for me. Always wanted to see the show. Everything looks amazing, just dusty.

Hit up an antique store on my way to Tennessee and grabbed Soul Eater for $15. My mom and visited an estate sale my first day in and I got the hemp cream (unopened).
My parents were both busy Monday, so I decided to check out the new Whataburger that opened - an hour and a half away. While there I went to a few pawn shops and grabbed Rory and Pilotwings for $5. Mario was $25 and is sealed. Wavebird receiver was $20 and Stunt Kids was $60 - no manual. Just Dance and Moon were $3 for the pair. I tell you - 10% sales tax suuuucks.

Popped into a thrift store and got all the games in the second photo for $20 - most are complete, a couple have a ring scratch, but don't seem too deep.

Free Wii.
Already had the grey stand, it didn't come with the system.
Seems like someone was angry at their kids or something...it was sitting in a pile of bulk trash (cardboard boxes et al), and the games are hardly anything to write home about, the most expensive title was the Barrel Blast (~$16 CIB on PriceCharting), though I know it was a kid's system because all the discs are scratched (some worse than others, but Barrel Blast doesn't even read past the main menu screen...). Everything works tho, disc drive and all, which is what I was worried about when I picked it up. Thought the worst case would be for parts and such, lol.
The good news is, I was able to test my copy of Fragile Dreams finally, lol. It works, for those of you who were on the fence about getting it as disc only.
Wii is available to anyone who wants a Wii. Complete w/ setups and 2 WiiMotes (WiiMote Plus, I think?) w/ Nunchucks, they are the ones that operate on 2x AA batteries. I just want to give it a good home, since I'm not really one for Nintendo consoles. Rescued a system that would've otherwise gone to the waste dump.

Well this is nothing compared to Porksta's estate finds... but I found something really weird at the Amazon returns store today.
image
This. Sealed, for $2 plus taxes. I grabbed it immediately. The discs and art appear to be legit, I popped in the Bluray in my PC and it recognized it as one, so I'm not sure what's up with this. But this is legitimately one of my favorite horror B-movies. After all, it's not every day you hear Frosty the Snowman say raunchy jokes about women or complain how the people he kills taste funny.

Last set of items from my trip:
image
Top row of games were $4 each. Keeping Battlefield, may keep Outlast - haven't decided if I want to keep my sealed copy.
Dirty Harry was $1, calculator was $6, everything else priced as marked. A Goodwill opened up in my parent's town (because they need a 10th thrift store) but video games are $6 (plus that damn 10% sales tax) - thankfully my mom got a senior discount of 20%.
image
Each controller was $5, game was $2. GC is tested and working, have not tried the others.
image
DVD was $2 at a thrift store, everything else was $16 at a pawn shop. You all said 1917 was a great movie so let's find out.

@Porksta, are any of those PS3 controllers a Six Axis by chance? I could use one to replace my long-dead 60GB pack-in.

All four are. Just need to test them out to make sure there is no drift and hold a charge.

That's what I got for $50. It was pending, and than pending some more, so I inquired again, spoke some Polish cuz his name seemed to ring it, and he was like, I'm prob even worse at polish than you, cuz my spelling sucks I sound it out lol. Anyways, he did mention it was pending due to a friend wanting to pick it up, but his friend isn't even from Toronto, and he's got a way to say something, than you know how it goes, you're stuck holding it forever. He just wanted to declutter. Half life 2 and it's expansion episode one is sealed, those were the 2 only new and sealed games. I take it fallout tactics, alien vs. predator 2 and both rollercoaster tycoons will make for it being worthwhile. Not too far at all of a drive, prob one of the closer rides, but had to stop for a phone call and return at the mall. Was debating putting the half life's into my collection, but I dunno. Not sealed in original boxes, haha, this isn't like winning the lottery. More gas to the cause, and more wares to sell at fair prices for those interested I guess, but I put my better stuff on ebay, and was thinking, would I get more with a local interested party but I price it fair. Maybe an idea to put more of the better stuff locally and get cash in hand for it. All good, I'm gaming through this reality. Won some papa roach tickets, it's time to go to a show! lol

I'd be interested in buying Barrel Blast off you if that's available. Nice of you to rescue that neglected Wii from the trash and offer it up on here.

Yeah, and the boxes are in real nice shape. Had a Fallout Tactics, I prob sold for $30 or $40. Now have 1 on ebay, with no manual though, and box isn't that great, lowered price to net me $90 for it. Now I have this, in immaculate shape, manual. Prob going to try to get $130 or so for it. Manuals alone for rarer games usually sell for $30 - $35. Not to mention the condition is just outstanding.
Nice guy, don't know why he had a command and conquer game in french, couple of uk ones in there, but even still, the fallout trilogy will still net at least $10, maybe $20, didn't check. The sealed half lives, selling, just kept both witchers for my collections, one I had, but the Can with french with one less disc, keeping the us one that I got, selling the Can release. Also keeping solder of fortune II. So keeping 3 games, but keeping 1 over the other, so only 2. And that shelf is filled, nothing really, will dive in it when all these other games sell lol.
I like nice big boxes, but I won an alien vs. predator shirt that is too tight for me, got that message when I was in Jamaica, from a contest win, but it was a voucher I coulda banked on, still kinda did for the remainder but def a good time lol. The new half lifes, I'm a full life, the title coulda been better. Not Yet Parted with a sequel Half Reign. Nah, those are way worse, keep it simple, I got no idea, lol. Fallout Tactics, since I long ago departed with it, I'll also depart from it lol. Rollercoaster tycoons, never really liked sim games, I was an adventure game nerd, with some action games to keep the pace up, even on ps3, not just comp. Than got a mac, played diablo III, that was pretty much the last game I remember playing on the computer.
