Read about those Grid outlets they're trying out. Makes me sick. You get all your inventory for free and you price it according to ebay. And then you take the time to separate all the games out and send them to their own store to inflate the prices even more? I hate the world sometimes.
It doesn't seem like such a bad idea. It would save someone many car trips, of going from one goodwill to another, seeing what each store has. Most goodwill stores already check for the price of stuff on ebay, anyway, before putting it on the floor. I pretty much gave up on finding anything interesting with video games, after the year 2000 or so.
I'd visit one of these grid stores.
The last time I went to a thrift store was last summer or fall, looked around, and there wasn't even much in the way of books like there used to be. I think they sell most of their books to the bulk book buyers, like Thrift Books.
It was an interesting time, when I could walk into a goodwill, up until 1997 or 1998, and find 100+ Atari games for sale because someone just dumped off their collection, or son's collection. There was that time I bought 50+ MAD Magazine paperback books. Before ebay, goodwill had more surprises.
I've not been to a thrift store at all this year, but reading this thread, I think I'll go to one in the next few weeks. The older one, that's more dilapidated than others, and doesn't have the same foot traffic as the "nicer" ones.
