Nice. I haven't gone to the local thrift places, but there's a Habitat Resale just a couple of streets from me, and I have lucked into some good finds (and passed over some I regret not getting later, like the bag of Saturn stuff I saw years ago) Sone nice scores made there. -great- TV in widescreen with lots of different inputs including DVI, good keyboards, a few monitors and such. Some of the best, though, have to be the PS2 Slim with wireless Guitar Hero guitar and a stack of GH games for $30 (actully was maily interested in the PS2 to replace a broken one, the GH stuff was a bonus, X-plane 9 for $5, Sims 2 Freetime collection and Sims 3 core for $2 each.
I do like Habitat for a simple reason. it's one of the few that can definitively point to something concrete and say 'This is what was bought with the money you either donated or spent at Resale. ' Most other charities are rather more vague about what happens to to your money.

Glad you picked up rocky mountain trophy hunter! My dad and I played that game a ton back in the late 90s. Then they came out with RMTH 3! We were extremely excited when we got it and it was actually a really fantastic game with pretty impressive graphics and little fun extras, like how you could actually drive the vehicles to get around the map faster or to help track an animal you just shot. We were even more excited when my friend's uncle helped my dad build a PC that would actually play the darn thing pretty well. Oh, and you could turn on dangerous hunt mode and get killed by a charging moose!

- 3: 00 OMG! I had this!
When I purchased my Philips CDI I got all the games they had! I even spent the extra $200 for the video module and had several movies on Philips version of DVD's. It worked great! But the disc's only held something like 30 minutes, so a 2-hour movie had 3-4 discs.
I was such a geek back in the day. The only thing the 90s did for me was separate me from my money, because there were so many transitional formats of everything, most stuff was obsolete before you could get them home and out of the box.
Awesome flashback!

I hate to brag, but.
I found a yard sale near Cincinnati Ohio that had all sorts of Phillips CDi games for $1. 00 each. I had no idea the price for some, but I did pick up Hotel Mario for $1. 00 for the sake of it being a Mario game. I asked if they had the CDi out too, and they had 3, but unfortunately, 2 were in Florida, and 1 they didn't know where it was. I still did pick up Hotel Mario though, it was in beautiful condition for the disc, though the manual was wet and the pages stuck together, but other that, it was in really good condition!

So far as edutainment games go, Jump Start 3rd Grade and Carmen Sandiego Math Detective are solid games. Word Detective is objectively better, because the games are a lot more fun.
I played a lot of the higher quality edutainment games growing up, like Jump Start 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade(6th grade wasn't that great, and the whole slew of Carmen Sandiego games. They have a special place in my heart, even though they kinda suck.

Harlequin. Someone either died or upped their taste: D.
Impressed by how clean they all looked though.
There's better Linear tracking/tangential players in the below-100 dollar range.
You like oddware, right? Check out the Mitsubishi LT-15V. Actually doesn't even sound half bad for a linear tracker.
Love the Peaches logo/artwork.
Oh wow the 'pay whatever you want'-concept. Lovely!

That Hank Aaron record is pretty cool. Single called THE HAMMER / HOME OF THE BRAVES. But yeah Peaches was a great store. The one we went to the most was right next to The Infinite Mushroom, a hippie place that was a Ticket Master outlet so I actually went in there a decent amount. I remember one of the posters on the wall by the register was the Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover from 1993.

3: 30 I worked at a Goodwill for about a year in the book section and once we got in 7 boxes of those Harlequin Romance books. Someone just dropped them all off one morning, all in perfect condition. The one title I remember is -The Daddy Dilemma- We put them out for sale and someone, day one, within the first few hours, bought ALL of them. And these were lawyer boxes, packed full of books.

I know it's three years ago, but a linear record player produces then best original recording reproduction. A standard arm moves in an arc across the record. a linear moves straight across the record.
When carving the grooves in the original print, the carving needle moves in a linear fashion.

There was a radio I found that was pre conelrad, I believe 1952 and was a zenith. All wood and found at at my favorite goodwill for 10. 00 bucks. Works awesomely, just I wonder if it doesn't need a tube of some sort since the fm phases in and out somewhat at times.
