thrift stores are a very big business with hipsters and the economy being what they are. $45 is swapmeet price, but cool in the wild anyway.
I want to be more like 337.

Yeah they would do something like that...Doesn't that defeat the purpose of goodwill...suppose to be charity prices for the less fortunate...Im sure they would put it on shopgoodwill.com...but i doubt it would sell.

My goodwill hoards all the games behind the counter instead of putting them out...so I already know that they are going off ebay or amazon.

Nice score!  If you found a Supergrafx game, then there might even be a cheap Supergrafx system laying around in that store somewhere too.

I've never seen a TG16 game at a thrift shop. I have, however, found lots of other games and game systems for good prices. Salvation Army near me has the best prices. Games are $2, systems are usually $10-15. I've picked up a Gameboy Advance, N64, Gamecube and probably 20+ Gamecube, PS2 and XBox titles for super cheap. Goodwill tends to be twice that price and has a worse selection.

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s I did. Hell thats where I got a turbo tap and a few games for like $10. Nowadays, I'll be lucky to find NES games that aren't gouged.

I remember a few years ago seeing a brand new TurboGrafx-16 at a "Value Village" for 10 bucks.  I had just purchased a new one for my dad for somewhere around $55 or so, so I was pumped.  Came with Blazing Lazers too, which was awesome.

I thought it was lost in a move, but my parents recently found it, and I'm going to bring it home today.  All games in tact (minus Bomberman and Bomberman '93 so my dad can play 'em!)
