    So this is what Good Will Hunting was all about.
  • Hi there, I work as a computer tech for the goodwill computer store in tallahassee. Thank you for coming by our store and having such great things to say. Believe or not very few people in our own town actually know we exist.
  • I got 10 3ds games at salvation army for 2 bucks each, including Pokémon ruby, sapphire, moon, and ultra sun. Whatever that kid did to deserve his games being donated, I forgive him. I dreamed about deals like that. Literally.

    31:51 As a PC game collector, seeing Spore, AOE3, Farcry 2 and others being passed by hurts
  • I never walk into a Goodwill expecting to find a game, but that makes the moments when I stumble into one all the more special. My copy of Metal Gear Solid 3 is from a Goodwill, and I’ve even seen Japanese-region PS2 games once.
  • @CautionusJay
    Jesus, you can never escape the Wii Balance Boards going shopping at these Goodwill's lol
  • @TheBoredJord
    As someone who's never been in a Goodwill thank you for providing me a lifetime of visits without having to leave the house. You really have me looking forward to the Wii Balance Board price checks. This was a super high effort, nice job bud 👍And freakin' awesome shirt!

    It's never been so over for game thrifting! You used to be able to find a Genesis with controllers, cables and a couple games without really trying a decade ago. I can't image stumbling across that anymore.

    As a frequenter of british charity shops in it's so weird not seeing loads of Fifas in every shop. Those things are like the plague of charity shop game sections, along with Sims expansion packs of course

    Happy to see that Blue Yeti for $15 actually worked! Thanks for the shoutout. I didn’t expect to watch all of it but I did. Great video! Just wish those portable TV Radio Flashlights had inputs smh

    I used to go to 5 or 6 different goodwills and 1 salvation army around my area in Virginia. I used to do it daily from like 10am till 5pm. I find crazy things like boxed n64 games, sega genesis, dreamcast, rare PS1 titles, PS2, lots of gamecube stuff, DS, pokemon, gaming action figures some brand new some with no flaws, collector's edition items, cheap consoles, hand helds like gameboy, ds, 3ds, etc. Also goodwill has colored discounts on different days so if the gaming stuff is purple and is purple Tuesday then that's an extra 20-30% off. I also made friends with some of the managers at the locations to the point I get first dibs on stuff they find. I remember 1 manager got me a boxed original gameboy for $50 while its not brand new, it was flawless to the touch with everything included in the original package. Those were the good ol times.

    You totally should have gotten that tv, flashlight, and radio combo…. Not because it was epic and could have been nice for a video… but because it was an emergency combo item. It’s a Weather Radio and TV. My mom bought radio versions for my sister and I recently. Since you live in Florida, it would be good for you to have in case a hurricane did severe damage and you needed something to get information for help. The crank on the side allows you to manually power it. I live in Kentucky and a whole section of my city was destroyed by a Tornado in 2021 and I wish I had one then. Whole week without internet, tv, or radio. Just lucky I wasn’t in Mayfield which was far worse.

    Goodwill is great for finding older games from gen 6 consoles to gen 8 consoles as long as they haven't been cleaned out by resellers. Your best bet is to try and visit them as soon as they restock in the morning on certain days of the week or month.
  • NASCAR Thunder 2003 is actually a great find. It's still the best NASCAR game to this day.
  • @thc_freebaser
    you just left Titanfall 2...sitting there. How could you? Im in shambles.
  • @arsenalcrazy8
    Seeing that haul out of 104 goodwills worth of stuff is so sad to see. 10 years ago those stores would have been chock full of older games with actual value. The smart phone era mixed with pure greed has truly destroyed goodwill and any reason anyone ever had to go to goodwill.
  • @MacUser2-il2cx
    I once saw a red cart of Maximum Carnage for Sega Genesis. I passed on it and I'm still kicking myself for it to this day.
  • @Geraki0n
    Awesome to see HPRshredder! I just discovered his channel this year, great stuff.
  • @pikapal91
    Mac-a-bray is certainly a way to pronounce macabre
  • Whoa I got thrown off at the beginning here, didn't realize you were a fellow Florida man. I actually found a boxed copy of Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis and Zelda Minish Cap both at the Goodwill right near the Paddock Mall in Ocala when I was a kid, both for $3 each. Really wish game prices weren't so over the top nowadays though.
