I-m an avid thrifter and love browsing through the -jungle- that is Goodwill. But I had no idea they had a website where you could go on and purchase items as well! I still go to Goodwills around my hometown (which is a -hidden gem- type place and only more experienced thrifters know how to find the good stuff) and the locations around my college just as a fun stress reliever and study break. But this has definitely been added to my routine a bit for just some quick browsing online and seeing if anything catches my eye! Thank you for sharing this, and honestly, as long as you-re thrifting still and sharing it I don-t mind if it-s e-thrifting or in person

I don't know if this is still a thing. But back in in 2000's people would modify those car phones, and case phones to work on the modern cell network. The reason was they had extremely powerful antennas because cell towers were so rare at the time they were sold. If you lived, or were doing something too far for a normal cell phone, you could connect with the old one. I remember reading about someone who lived off the grid, way out in the woods, using an old car phone to stay in contact with people. This was before even 2 or 3G, so I'm sure it wouldn't work now.

Seattle Goodwill rarely posts listings on that collective Goodwill auction site. Check eBay for their store instead. There's much more there for sale. I know this information first-hand as I actually worked in the e-commerce department there for a short bit. I wasn't one of the auction listers, but I answered e-mails and helped with the local pick-ups. I think the Goodwill in Portland is a similar story.

A very good idea for a new series. It was good to watch. When the virus situation is over, it will still work. You can find various strange offers online. For example, a Polish copy of Famicom from the 90s, called Pegasus (unfortunate name. But the build quality is better than the original.

You sound so wise and mature I keep thinking you are someone who saw these computers come out, seeing your face and the fact that you are basically my age is always a shock. Great content, as always! ( we were both infants\not alive when some of the retro stuff you go over came out)

_eThrifts_ is not as intriguing as regular _Thrifts_, but there's always something mystical about weird online sale posts, so there's something worthy of a commentary as well. I say keep this format going at least until you can replace it with the gool ol' one!

Hey, LGR!
Can you do a review of Progressbar95? It's a game that's supposed to replicate the nostalgic feel of Windows 95. It's a pretty good game, and I'd recommend you'd try it out.
I'm not an advertiser, just an avid fan of the game.
Thanks,
-Mayo.

I bought a 2008 white MacBook on there for $8, although it was closer to $20 with shipping and all that. Still, it came with its original hard drive packed full of art projects from some University of Florida art student. That's worth it isn't it?

6: 54 I had that Mad Catz half steering wheel in 1999! I got it - toys r us for like 100$. The shift stick worked in serious racing games (I had Cruisin USA & the stick shifted gears) and it was actually a pretty good wheel. Even for diddy kong racing: D

ever since i started watching your stuff when i go to thrift stores I look for old tech. I found some new old stock zip disks and ink ribbons for dot matrix printers. I have no intention of buying these things but it's neat to see them.
