I used to be able to buy *really* nice clothes for next to nothing, retro games consoles for a fraction of Ebay prices, rare/expensive records, all kinds of cool shit. Now everyone knows about it, and they price accordingly, or things'll just get stolen, like so.
End of an era...
@Indigo The game in question is just one of those shovelware games you find in cereal boxes back in the early 2000s anyway. You could probably find the ISO on archive.org or something.
This was actually the only PC game that didn't have the CD in it, but being old PC games, it's a gamble to getting them running on your computer, either due to compatibility or DRM. It seems like Goodwill knows this, which is why you can't get refunds if the games don't work.
There were a few things that I could've bought, but I simply don't have the space right now. There was some portable electronic device that seemed to be from Japan. It turned out to be an electronic Japanese to English dictionary, but I passed on it. There was also a Brother printer which is WAY more reliable than any modern HP or Kodiak printer, but my family doesn't need a replacement right now.
Anyway, with the recent inflation and economic crisis, I bet people would rather sell their old stuff than give it away, which is probably why I saw a lot more yard sales than usual during the summer. Even my parents considered having one, and they are the types who think that making money outside of your day job is greedy and immoral.
