Same! I never or rarely find good stuff lol. These stores are great! I’m in a low income area and think no one in my area has anything really good to donate. I live adjacent to rich areas but i guess they probably donate their stuff somewhere else or the help takes it. I never really see anything name brand, in good condition, or new. Clothes at the thrift stores here always have stains and holes and the VHS tapes are always the same tired Disney ones. Don’t really see records, video games are only Wii crap that i already have, or old nes Mario stuff that’s super overpriced.
Dang, there always seems to be so much great stuff at the Goodwill locations near you! The ones near me are 75% clothing, 20% porcelain decorative crap, and only 5% electronics / digital media / books.
They definitely seem to be regional. My friend goes to the Goodwill out near the retirement areas because she collects leaded glass. It was popular with all the people cleaning out their houses in that area.
I used to live in Arizona and I genuinely think Eric is just a good luck charm! The most I would find are cool old pieces of furniture. Otherwise, the video and game section was mostly crap. Waiting to see if my new state has better hauls…
When you said "Alpha Smart" at 11:35, I will not lie you unlocked a deep memory from within me. When I was in middle school, I actually used to use those! It was mostly used for writing assignments and I would save them under a specifically named folder and then plug it into a computer to later print out the writing essay. The Alpha Smart also had it's own cart where the students would plug in their Alpha Smarts after using them to charge. I don't believe it ever caught on despite my teachers pushing for it but it was honestly pretty neat and I never thought I'd hear the name "Alpha Smart" again heh
This kind of videos give me such a cozy feeling, especially when you're doing your haul in your retro gaming room. Too bad you couldn't play a bit more of that Crystal Light tape, I wanted to follow the instructions lol.
You do much better in general with these videos then most of the retail crowd. These thrifting videos are by far the best thing you do. They are amazing.
Man, my local GW never have anything this cool. Nice MS software collection! Also, I spotted that Sony alarm clock in the background, I still have the same one on my dresser here. The CrystalLite tape is cool, and good find on the Aiwa stereo. Thanks again!
Syberia is a great game! They put it on switch and that's where I bought it. I believe it originally was on PC and PS1. They actually just came out with the 4th game last year!!
Operation Flashpoint actually spawned into one of the most realistic military simulators on the market. Loved it and the future games in the series. It directly morphed into what is now ARMA III. Still going strong today! Loved playing the original when I was a kid.
@@Mrflash222006 yeah, the 3rd game is a bit off, never finished it:/ but the new installment to the series, Syberia - the world before, is really worth playing! It came out last year.
Writer's Digest magazine used to sell those mini-word processors like the one you looked at one of the stores. It was designed for writing on the go. 😄
Come for the thrifting, stay for the NFT dunking. EDIT: I had an AlphaSmart Pro as a kid to assist me with taking notes in school. They were actually pretty slick considering they were primarily just word processors.
Always fun watching your adventures in thrifting! I still have that Queen Amidala Taco Bell topper WITH the cup! And I totally would've gotten that framed Captain Kirk photo lol. Great video! :)
Woh I need to correct you on Operation Flashpoint that game wasn't cheesy at all. For it's time (like 2001-2003ish) it was one of the most realistic cold war military sims out there. You can play as a solider, or ground vehicle or aircraft etc. And it had a massive modding community. It's the grandaddy of the ARMA game series.
I absolutely love your videos, especially the thrifting ones. Thrifting is one of my favorite hobbies and love how the thrift stores really reflect the communities they are in with being a donation spot for people's unwanted things. Always something good shows up! Ty for the fun time!
At my Goodwill, there are hordes of people circling like vultures, waiting for the next bin of electronics to be wheeled out so they can snag them before they even hit the shelves. If it's on the shelf, it's probably worthless or overpriced.
Last time I went thrifting I actually found an awesome TV stand for my VCR and CRT. Solid wood, cable ports in the back, and the top rotates so I can rotate it out towards my room to play emulators on my Raspberry Pi. First time I've been able to get furniture thrifting.
Operation Flashpoint is the granddaddy to Arma, Arma 2 and Arma 3, which of course begat Day Z. It's a combat simulator, in that, you are simulating being a soldier vs. the "normal" FPS where you have a health bar and ammo/powerups to pick up.
I finally had time to watch the entirety of this new episode of Thifting Time & I'm impressed both by what you found & bought Eric. I'm glad you're able to go to all of these thrift stores & find all these cool items from the past since it really does feel like opening up a time capsule for some items (like that cool SkateorDie themed shelf) or discovering new things I didn't know existed (like that motion controlled console from 2004). If I wasn't so busy all the time I'd love to be able to visit a thrift store on my own & see what I can find. Especially since the last time I shopped in one was years ago.
A guy I went to school with was given a NEO in 5th grade to use for school work. This was around 2009. He had really really bad handwriting, and that was their solution. He had it for a few years.Interesting little thing, funny to see another one.
Siberia and Siberia 2 are some of the best point and click puzzle/adventure games the third one was dross, Beneath a steel sky is also worth a play too
When it comes to PC shovelware, which is common at thrift stores, would you start collecting discs from eGames? eGames, formerly RomTech, was very prolific in the late 90s through the late 2000s, with their shovelware compilations showing up at places like Walmart and elsewhere. I remember buying my first ever eGames disc from a small town drug store in 2001, a big box copy of "Blast Thru", a rather decent breakout clone. Most of their compilations featured clones of more well known arcade games, made by indie developers, and some of these clones are actually rather good. They even had really odd-ball games like "Shoot the Roach". eGames is long gone, but they had a big presence in software racks and perhaps their history should be explored more.
The sims vacation! Such a good one. I got the sims 1 for my Mac at my local goodwill also. Haven’t been in a brick and mortar store since before the pandemic - have just gotten my used games on eBay. Want to go thrifting again now that it’s safe to shop in stores again! I was constantly sick in the fall and winter and knock on wood finally it seems to be safe to go outside again and not everyone everywhere is sick. I’d love to find some more old sims games and expansions. Used to have that queen Amadala cup topper! Had everything of her, was such a huge fan. That sims 3 limited edition caught my eye! I would have checked that out.
I graduated high school in '96 but I doubt I remember the vocabulary in that book. I also watched Lonesome Dove on TV with my dad. I ended up reading all 4 novels in the series and other Larry McMurtry books. He's one of my favorite authors
Oooh, I have 2 Alphasmart Neo 2's. With modern markup tools like markdown, they're actually a super awesome tool for writers. No distractions like mail or twitter, and boots instantly unlike a laptop. How they transfer text is pretty neat, too, as it's universally future-proof. You plug it in and it acts like a standard USB keyboard, but there's an export button that will directly type out your active file to any focused text input field. It's unforgivably minimalist, and gives a writer no excuse to not write.
11:41 i had something like this in elementary school (around 03-06)! each classroom only had a few desktops so if you needed to type something up you would use this lil thing instead to free up a computer. then you’d port your document into word (although it would always look really wonky because there was no formatting)
When I was a kid in highschool, being the nerdy kid I got to do the jobs the IT guy didn't want to do. And we had a cart of those alphasmarts. I used to take them to an English, history, or speech class that was writing a paper. The cart had a regular laptop that had a IR you could send you text to word or straight up print it to the HP laserjet on the cart. Teachers like them because it just a word processor you can't be dinking around on the internet with them. Lol blast from my past.
I remember those little alphasmart keyboard things. When I was in 3rd grade, back in the late 90s, that's what was used in the classroom for typing practice.
I remember using those neo word processors! Back in elementary school we had to learn how to type out papers but we didn't have enough computers so we'd use these instead. I was thinking about those things a while ago it's cool to see one of these things again
The phone central organizer would be great for someone who collects nostalgic items. They could showcase their goods. I had that exact same Bedazzler, same box 1988. Our Goodwill never has any good electronics that are older than 2015. Good finds 👍
The Star Wars Episode I cup toppers were actually cross-promotional between Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut. Each restaurant had four of them exclusively.
Just found a way to make money through time travel. Buy old software today, take it back into the past to sell it, then deposit the money in a bank. (You can have that one for free. I already have my billion- dollar scheme in place.) SO much fun watching these. I've gotta get to a good Goodwill.
11:12 the phones used on the box with that space saver are still around. My old job used those types of phones, and that would have been perfect for it.
Most people who get things like the office space saver, they don't... use it as advertised, friend. You can stick so many modern products in those things, and people still use pens and paper. Battery packs, chargers, external hard drives will all fit in those things.
Operation Flashpoint was the predecessor to Arma 1, 2, and 3. As some may be aware, Arma 2 and 3 were the base games that people built battle royale mods for, which eventually led to games which copied the format, like PlayerUnknown's : Battlegrounds and Fortnite.
11:40 in school my handwriting was so bad they made me use an alpha smart. This was in 4th grade and some of my classmates wanted to use it. Then they were optional in 7th and 8th grade and by HS we were using our own computers at home.
Those $old Out PC game releases from the UK seem are common in thrift stores in college towns (probably bought over by foreign students) I pick them up regularly in my town. They are identical to the USA releases.
Man, you really scored with that Aiwa stereo! I sometimes wish I had more options when it comes to thrift stores in my area (there used to be one nearby that was absolutely awesome, but it closed down in late 2020).
That game, Syberia was a pretty cool game; i bought a copy around 2004 when i was working at a dead mall myself, Cortana Mall, Baton Rouge Louisiana, which recently was torn down and now is an Amazon Fulfillment center. Anywho, the game was was on clearance even then--but it was a really cool little point and click. There's also a Syberia II that was alright, but the original was better i find. Anyway--love the videos! :)
LOL Goodwill reselling resell crap that’s been resold by itself is not surprising at all. Kinda funny they couldn’t even be bothered to remove their old sticker.
On that Aiwa Stereo, I'm not sure if this works on all of them, but try this;with the power off, try holding the Pause button, this will allow you to set the clock, I want to say (but not sure) that setting the clock will stop the demo mode. In other news, I think I might have a workout album that's just as 80s, Richard Simmons - "Reach."
Flashpoint is what Codemasters branded the game they marketed for Bohemia Interactive. Bohemia terminated the agreement with Codemasters and now sells the updated game through Steam as Arma3.
Stuff at places like these always makes me a little sad, for similar reasons to why that signed phrase book was sad. At one point a lot of this stuff had meaning and importance to somebody, if only for a little while, and now here it is at a thrift shop with all of that importance and those memories probably lost to time.
I think I had that Magic School Bus Dinosaurs game as a kid, if not then one similar to it. If it has a mini game where you catch gems falling from a waterfall, then that's the one. I wonder if it's still hidden away somewhere.
I enjoyed that vid, and I like your speaker setup. It fits really nicely into that space. I thought the slim PC was really cool, I'm interested to see what you do with it.
I just checked and I do own Syberia on GOG I'm pretty sure it went free at one point. haven't installed it yet but I think it's like a point-and-click adventure of some sort? I remember using an alphasmart pro in highschool for note-taking and writing stuff. though it was a boring beige model not one of those space age-looking black ones. the crystal light tape thankfully delivered, and that stereo system was pretty sick!
Don't feel too bad about not having too many Savers locations in your area. There's only one Savers location in Utah County, Utah. Utah's thrift store industry is DOMINATED by Deseret Industries.
I have more fun watching you thrifting than I do when I go myself. I never find anything half as interesting as you do.
Same! I never or rarely find good stuff lol. These stores are great! I’m in a low income area and think no one in my area has anything really good to donate.

syberia is a classic. it's more than a game,it's an artwork. all backgrounds are hand drawn by Benoit Sokal. he also did the3D art in game
Dang, there always seems to be so much great stuff at the Goodwill locations near you! The ones near me are 75% clothing, 20% porcelain decorative crap, and only 5% electronics / digital media / books.

Operation Flashpoint became the Arma franchise
Syberia is a great game! They put it on switch and that's where I bought it. I believe it originally was on PC and PS1. They actually just came out with the 4th game last year!!
The 3rd one was poor, had Siberia on the PC circa 2004/5 - now I feel old
Operation Flashpoint is actually the first game in the ArmA series! That's a good find
Operation Flashpoint actually spawned into one of the most realistic military simulators on the market. Loved it and the future games in the series. It directly morphed into what is now ARMA III. Still going strong today! Loved playing the original when I was a kid.
Syberia 1 and 2, are two of my favorite adventure games! Such a good story in those games
Posted the same comment - waited 8-10 years for the 3rd game but the game play wasn’t the same - still love Beneath a steel sky
@@Mrflash222006 yeah, the 3rd game is a bit off, never finished it:/ but the new installment to the series, Syberia - the world before, is really worth playing! It came out last year.
I’ve already seen all of the LGR Thrifting series so this is nice to watch’!

Always fun watching your adventures in thrifting! I still have that Queen Amidala Taco Bell topper WITH the cup! And I totally would've gotten that framed Captain Kirk photo lol. Great video! :)
Anything w/ Linda Evans is a keeper.

I did actually did watch your cooking video i think you should do another one
That little Aiwa is awesome
as a kid in the 90s that did not yet have a home pc, getting to use an alphasmart in school was the pinnacle of cool for me
I was just in the thrift playlist the other day and had noticed an upload was about due...Glad to see it!

Thrifting is fun if there’s good things

Those old discs with 200 games, none of which are any good - i miss them so much! 7 year old me was losing his mind.
Siberia and Siberia 2 are some of the best point and click puzzle/adventure games the third one was dross, Beneath a steel sky is also worth a play too

Great find, that little Aiwa. Edifier makes pretty decent speakers.
KILO BLASTER!! I played kilo blaster sooooo much as a kid my grandpa had it on floppy

That 80s looking shelf looks like something from saved by the bell lol
Only need one of those elongated, droopy-eyed stuffed animals. Hope someone out there remembers those.

Ahhh yes the Mesa Goodwill and Savers on Power. They have really hiked the prices there. I’m sure I’ve ran into you a few times. Cheers. 🎉
When I was a kid in highschool, being the nerdy kid I got to do the jobs the IT guy didn't want to do. And we had a cart of those alphasmarts.

The phone central organizer would be great for someone who collects nostalgic items. They could showcase their goods. I had that exact same Bedazzler, same box 1988. Our Goodwill never has any good electronics that are older than 2015. Good finds 👍
We used to use thin clients at the credit union in like 2005. All transactions were done at the central computer down on Washington st.
Thrifting Time Is The Best Time
That star wars box set at around 9min was the first to get THX certification. Hilarious
The 'Zone 66' game on that Advanced Games CD is actually very good. At least in my memory. Never got around to play it again.
The Star Wars Episode I cup toppers were actually cross-promotional between Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut. Each restaurant had four of them exclusively.
I can't believe how clean the GoodWill stores are there. I've never been in a clean GoodWill, and I've been in several. LOL
Just found a way to make money through time travel. Buy old software today, take it back into the past to sell it, then deposit the money in a bank. (You can have that one for free. I already have my billion- dollar scheme in place.)
SO much fun watching these. I've gotta get to a good Goodwill.
Fun thrift hunting. I would totally get that bedazzler and bedazzle some pants and bags. 😆
Syberia is an excellent point-n-click adventure game. It's been ported to the Nintendo Switch as well as other platforms and has 2 sequels.
11:12 the phones used on the box with that space saver are still around. My old job used those types of phones, and that would have been perfect for it.

I 100% have that exact bedazzler, it's vintage.
I LOVE THE NEO! Used that in school because I have Cerebral Palsy and handwriting is difficult for me! I think I need one now.
12:55 wow the candy machines.
Thanks for posting! Woke up to a foot of snow again.. I need to move to Arizona, Canada is too much work.
I miss Savers. Haven't seen one since I moved states. I remember being allergic to the sizing or detergent they put on the clothes they sold.
fantastic little stereo system. looks good!🎼
Operation Flashpoint was the predecessor to Arma 1, 2, and 3. As some may be aware, Arma 2 and 3 were the base games that people built battle royale mods for, which eventually led to games which copied the format, like PlayerUnknown's : Battlegrounds and Fortnite.
U did a good buy on the stereo. I 💗 checking out the stereo equipment on goodwill too.. 👍
Spectacular! I love this! So happy to travel with you again. 😁
11:40 in school my handwriting was so bad they made me use an alpha smart. This was in 4th grade and some of my classmates wanted to use it. Then they were optional in 7th and 8th grade and by HS we were using our own computers at home.
Those $old Out PC game releases from the UK seem are common in thrift stores in college towns (probably bought over by foreign students) I pick them up regularly in my town. They are identical to the USA releases.
That Neo was pricey for the Goodwill but a great deal. They're actually super in demand right now.
that was fun - you found some great stuff! I love watching other people have luck in thrift stores...Cheers! ♥
Man, you really scored with that Aiwa stereo! I sometimes wish I had more options when it comes to thrift stores in my area (there used to be one nearby that was absolutely awesome, but it closed down in late 2020).
Old school flight sim I remember that and I remember a space simulator, the incredible machine
I’m glad you’re making more videos 😊Love them !!
Loved this episode, always a great time seeing you thrift!
That game, Syberia was a pretty cool game; i bought a copy around 2004 when i was working at a dead mall myself, Cortana Mall, Baton Rouge Louisiana, which recently was torn down and now is an Amazon Fulfillment center. Anywho, the game was was on clearance even then--but it was a really cool little point and click. There's also a Syberia II that was alright, but the original was better i find. Anyway--love the videos! :)
My absolute favorite video of yours is that cooking video you did from the Microsoft cooking disk
LOL Goodwill reselling resell crap that’s been resold by itself is not surprising at all. Kinda funny they couldn’t even be bothered to remove their old sticker.
I actually want that Phone space saver, I could use it at work lol XD
On that Aiwa Stereo, I'm not sure if this works on all of them, but try this;with the power off, try holding the Pause button, this will allow you to set the clock, I want to say (but not sure) that setting the clock will stop the demo mode. In other news, I think I might have a workout album that's just as 80s, Richard Simmons - "Reach."
I bought that William Shatner pic at a convention in 1978.

Here’s a comment in appreciation of your dunking on NFTs
great video, I have that same William Shatner 8x10 but mine is autographed
Those edifier are solid speakers
I enjoyed that vid, and I like your speaker setup. It fits really nicely into that space. I thought the slim PC was really cool, I'm interested to see what you do with it.
I love your videos keep the great work up
Those Edifer bookshelf speakers arent too bad - I've got a pair and I like them.
Syberia is a great adventure game - if you're into the Lucasarts adventure games then you'll love this. It plays very similar to Grim Fandango
I just checked and I do own Syberia on GOG I'm pretty sure it went free at one point. haven't installed it yet but I think it's like a point-and-click adventure of some sort? I remember using an alphasmart pro in highschool for note-taking and writing stuff. though it was a boring beige model not one of those space age-looking black ones. the crystal light tape thankfully delivered, and that stereo system was pretty sick!
I just realized I've never used speakers since the late 00s. I've only been using various headphones ever since.
Always fun watching you thrifthing.
Don't feel too bad about not having too many Savers locations in your area. There's only one Savers location in Utah County, Utah. Utah's thrift store industry is DOMINATED by Deseret Industries.
Love these videos! I never find anything good at my Goodwills or thrift stores!
