I can imagine there are thrift stores near churches as my job sprouted from a church garage sale to a store.

I hope you do too. One man's junk is another man's treasure.

I'm really enjoying this job. Once I move out on my own, my job is the first place I'll look for furniture!

Indeed they are!

I got the console, a few controllers, and like 20 games free from my cousin :D

There were three other N64 games being sold for a dollar each. I managed to save one that was going to the dump.

Many of the items I find where about to be thrown in the trash. I was lucky enough to recover them.

At 5/12/09 12:30 AM, Sanjay wrote: Wow! nice finds! Have you ever thought about selling any of your items you got from this store on ebay?

Most definitely yes! I just need to get eBay figured out and I'll start selling.

Holy shit, there's one right down the street from my school!

My job is a few streets away from m school. Now that you found a thrift store, you can find some awesome items there.

From eBay to pure nostalgia, you'll have a good hunt.

also shave you moustache. then grow it. then shave it. then grow it till it becomes a respectable moustache.

I only shaved twice. First one to cheer my father up and second from a haircut from a cousin of mine.

From time to time we get consoles. A few weeks ago I found an Xbox but didn't buy it. Games from all consoles do get donated sometimes. Just try to visit a thrift store a few times and you might be lucky.

Here's another picture. Close up!

Another old console as part of my collection. Too bad it didn't come with any controllers.

I got this plus a game for $3.00!

Also: game.

Look a little extra for me, I can never find anything exiting anymore.

I'm always on the lookout whenever I'm at work.

I really need to hit up the Salvation Army again in Montgomery to see if i can get some cool stuff.

I have two tin bins plastered with Coca-Cola advertisements and I'll sell them once I get an eBay account.

Lol, Damn.

I went to my thrift shop near my school and I got a SNES for about 4 dollars.

I love these stores.

I paid $15.00 for an SNES and a PlayStation 2. It was worth it.

Haha, very nice! I'm having a blast collecting old consoles and hopefull I'll find a NES!

Dammit, I loved that game.

I once saw a N64 for 75 cents, but it was so badly beat up I didn't even bother.

I wouldn't have bought that console either. I may buy things from thrift stores but I still look at quality.

Today I found a Canadian cult classic movie on VHS...

...Heavy Metal!

Heavy Metal is an American magazine full of illustrated stories, usually fantasy and science fiction. A Canadian film company made this movie and the movie is a compilation of Heavy Metal stories.

Tomorrow is my step-father's birthday and I found something at my work that he enjoys. I bought a hand-painted limited edition dragon statuette for $0.50.

He likes fantasy stories and figurines so I'm sure he'll like this figurine.
