The idea that this is possibly one of the most "liked" soap dispensers ever amuses me for no particular reason. I think it's the randomness. Seriously though, there's a very real possibility that its true. How often do soap dispensers get limelight? Not very I'd wager, and your channel being fairly large.... genuine chance this is one of the most "liked" soap dispensers of all time.
You should have checked that clear radio for tamper stickers. Products like that are usually prison electronics. I own 3 Clear case CRT Television's and all of them came from prisons.
"Gotta wonder the situation where somebody bought all of these and then just never opened them" I think that situation is typically called "a Christmas present"
I think one of them was out of the celophane. So it's possible they started watching and went "You know what? Maybe I don't like the Waltons as much as I thought..."

@@ITZKappaKAP I'm his age and I almost died when he said it. Had to pause the video, grab some painkillers, wait 30 mins and then continue watching. Ouch, that was just so... dad of him...
Someone: I'm telling you! When Y2K happens and all that is left of America is a nuclear wasteland. We'll be using The Walton's on VHS as a form of currency!
Ive always loved LGR's content.it helped me through some of the darkest moments in my life.His voice is like bread and butter.👌 Continue being awesome!
I've always passed over the LGR Thrifts videos. After seeing this, I have no idea why lol. Now I'm gonna have to go through and watch every single Thrifts video you've got to offer because this was super fun. It makes me want to head out and go to all the Goodwill's in my area, I haven't been to one in years.
we had to make these in clay class in high school basically its just make a circle of clay and stack em up how you want then paint them when there hardened in the kiln
Thanks for another great year of LGR, Clint! Gotta love the "Why didn't I grab that?" moment after thrifting. It always happens. RE: That gaming keyboard -- Everything feels like garbage when you start using a Model M for your main keyboard.
Those clear electronics are used a lot for prisoners. I found a TV on one of my thrifting runs (that you inspired) and did some research. That seems like a prison radio. They can't hide anything in it and it doesn't need batteries that can be stolen. Love this series!
You'll be happy to know that I'm watching this with the audio coming from the very same set of Gateway 2000 speakers ..... With the sub-woofter!!! Retro on retro.
I love this stuff. As a manager of a small local thrift store its always awesome to see people being curious and excited to find stuff.I love all of LGR but these videos are extra special for me.
These videos just bring back so much nostalgia. I really do appreciate these Thrift videos and I hope that you keep doing them. I do appreciate these very much.Thanks LGR. I live in a town that has a ton of flea markets and thrift stores so for weekend entertainment, I get together with friends and family to walk through the stores just for entertainment and we often buy the strangest things we can find and give it to unsuspecting friends. Most of the time, our friends who get the surprise gifts actually end up enjoying the strange things we pick up for them LOL! And then sometimes they get mad and punch us in the face....ha ha haa.
Scissor lady is a henchman for a super villain: "I could kill you with two speeds. High speed for a quick death on the go. Slow speed for extracting information."
the two-button device at the start is for dictaphone setups. You would hook it up to a tape deck that took the extra inputs and allowed you to backspace ( rewind the tape) and then play without having to move your hands off the keyboard.
Thanks for continuing to do these Clint. I know the finds get harder but it is amusing hearing your take on things. I especially liked the basket full of calculators - $5 for an HP 12C? YEAH!!!
The foot pedal is definitely for a cassette recorder. My mom had the same one when she worked as a secretary for the city taking minutes of meetings. Great work!
Immediately subscribed. Love this kind of crap. Like the dead mall videos, its cathartic watching pieces of the not so distant past being reanimated. Your voice is soothing.
man, that nostalgic sears branded record player. My dad still has his sound system from 1979-1982 era. It has the vinyl player, with built in 8 track, the tape deck/radio, the mixer, and both 3ft-4ft tall speakers. all wood all brown except for the radio and mixer which are silver... but long story short. They all have that same font and slider/dial design. love it.
hey clint! i am spending a semester studying abroad in japan and i am so grateful for your channel. i watch all the time at home so it's nice to have a little piece of home with me here too! i hope you are having a wonderful holiday season
Screen savers and wallpapers sold in a big software box is such a crazy idea. I remember every magazine demo discs were full of it, I would never have guessed a company put it in a box and sold for money, or that someone actually was buying it even back then. This video series always has a surprise.
and here I was about to say 'what, you didn't grab a soap dispenser?!' I stand corrected! these are always fun to watch all manner of random junk and what have you from every era!
The other day I found a pair of mine FM radio headphones with an antenna at a thrift store. I got it for 3 bucks. Then I went to a supermarket wearing them and some guy saw it and offered me 5 bucks. So I made a couple bucks. Wish i had kept the radio though. It was nice to have. lol
So much nostalgia in this one. I recognized the foot pedal the second it appeared on camera, since my mom used one to control playback without leaving the word processor when she was an offsite medical transcriptionist (incidentally, when we first got a dialup modem, since she needed it for work), and my brother had pretty much exactly that clock radio (yes, from a thrift store) back in the day. Oh, and Broderbund Home Architect! My dad picked that up thinking he might use it for a remodeling project, and we ended up basically using it like The Sims (except without the people, and before The Sims was a thing). Hours of fun mocking up houses we'd never be able to afford in real life.
It’s a trip that so many of the Goodwill store exteriors near you look so much alike. I’m in Northern California, and I can’t say I’ve ever seen any two Goodwill stores that look alike.
My mom goes thru one of those HP calculators every couple of years. She for real won't use anything else. Whenever we find one at an estate sale or Goodwill we always pick one up for her ❤️
Wife: *Walks in with a ton of clothes she paid $150* Me: *can’t say anything* Me: *Walks in home with $20 worth of soap dispensers* Wife: You’re taking those back

I think that situation is typically called "a Christmas present"
Oh boy the movies I get from relatives and never watch. I feel bad, but I never get around to it
My wife would have loved them if they were DVD. She owned a lot of them.
I think one of them was out of the celophane. So it's possible they started watching and went "You know what? Maybe I don't like the Waltons as much as I thought..."
I wondered if he ever knew any geeks/nerds... 😆 *SO* many of my friends buy tons of -bleep- they never open.
@Synthetic Maniac Wow! You went to a dark place there. LOL!
That old “learn a language” vinyl would probably be great to sample from to make new music.
Alright, can't wait for the Oddware on Soap Dispenser.

yeah thats definitely a bong without a stem.

Thanks for another great year of LGR, Clint!

I wholeheartedly approve of the various dad jokes throughout the video! Love LGR thrifts!

For so reason i find, like many others, this channel is so addictive....great enjoyable meander into the wonderful weird, and recent past.....cheers!

NOW still makes CD’s in 2019...life is strange sometimes
What I found surprising was he said it was 90s nostalgia. Did you not get the series until then in the States? It's been going in the UK since 1983!
d2factotum oh wow, yeah over here it was mainly in the late 90’s when it started, as far as I know
Yep, don't think the NOW stuff started until the late 90s. So old that one still had rock music included lol, less and less as the years went on.
Drink a Beer and Play a Game I'm Suprised ANYBODY makes CDs anymore
@@jacobt1027 I still see rows of music CDs in stores so that NOW thing isn't surprising.

Can't wait for the quarantine to be over so Clint can go Thrifting again! :)
Watching this in July 2020..... so much energy in your voice. So much hope and expectation
