Overpricing at thrift stores doesn't bug me as much as inconsistent pricing. I visit a few Goodwills on a pretty regular basis and one day they have a Gamecube (or Xbox, or whatever) for $4.99 then the next they have another for $39.99. They get all of this stuff for free so all systems should be set at one price. It's the same way with everything they get, it's so frustrating. |

They do not know what is what at thrift stores. When I see a system, the chords are sometimes priced separately. I normally say they go with the system and they get tossed together for free. When I found a GB Player with no disc, there was a Gamecube else were with the disc in it, and they tossed it in, $6, woo. I had to carry the disc a few blocks to Gamestop with no case though. I got a spare DVD case from GS for free. Sometimes if I'm in there and see a chord that goes with a system loose, and I'm not buying it, I stick it together for who ever does. Once or twice they bundled something that does not, I got a Xbox with a PS2 controller, and a Tomb Raider 3 manual with a sealed Tomb Raider Last Revelation. The clerk normally does not care, sometimes they ask the manager, most of the time, if it looks similar, they will do it. A blender does not go with a pair of pants. In other news. Been looking at this. $180, been there for months. Maybe. |

The Good: I offered a copy of Resident Evil on PS1 on Craigslist (Missing Manual), some guy gave me a working Dreamcast in exchange for it. :D The Bad: http://yubasutter.craigslist.org/vgm/4300148444.html Dreamcast Bundle for $275 Seriously, why the hell do people charge eBay prices on a site that's ment for meet and pickup? That just annoys the crap out of me. The DERP: http://yubasutter.craigslist.org/vgm/4300103287.html 16oz. Black Boxing Gloves in the video gaming section...wtf? |

http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/vgm/4294764980.html Yeah, If I want eBay prices, I'll go to eBay. Sims 3 Lot. $380, takes no offer lower than $345, so it's $345. Thats about $15 per game, You can find it cheaper online. |

EA just milking that franchise. |
