Weekend Adventures P3

So Saturday was the last day to thrift in California for me. Went to a few places, did not have much luck. The first thrift store of the day was here:

This thrift store was quite big. It was a furniture store up until recently. There was a ton of stuff, but not too many videogame related things. I found some weird controller called the Dream Gear. I didn't know what it was so I had it researched as I walked around the store more. I found out later that it was something you got back in the day for signing up with come credit card company and that the 50 games programmed into it were garbage. Good thing I passed on that. There were some PS1 controllers that I don't need, a PS, and one of those Plug-n-Play controllers that had Atari games on it. I kind of wish I picked it up, but I didn't. Boo. Here's what I got though:

A Dreamcast controller and a NES controller. Got them for $7 combined. They are both in pretty good shape. The Dreamcast controller doesn't have too many scuffs on it and no yellowing on it. The NES controller does have some yellowing but the buttons feel pretty good. I have plenty of both of these controller, but you can never have too many controllers! Especially if you decide to sell them later..

Although I didn't have any luck at any other thrift stores, I did visit a thrift store that deserves an honorable mention:

Sorry for the lame picture that was shot from the car, but I decided at the last second to take the picture. This thrift store was HUGE. I swear it was a converted Wal-Mart or something cause it was massive inside. And there was so much stuff packed in there! It was also the hip place to be because there were a ton of people there! There was videogame stuff there, including PlayStations, PS1's, XBox systems, lots of Guitar Hero accessories, one N64 sports game, a few Gamecubes, and so on. But I didn't want any of it so I got nothing from here. I would love to go back here another time when it isn't so hectic inside and check it out some more. It was impressive.

That's all for my thrifting back in my hometown. Next post will be about what I found when I got home. It's good stuff.
