| 14526 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | You have to be extremely lucky or be a frequent flyer to run into deals. You used to be able to find all kinds of vintage toys and stuff but now it is usually happy meal toys still in the packages. For games it is gone the second they hit the floor. My local thrifts put crazy prices on anything they think is vintage even if it is from 2012 if it is star wars it goes into the collectibles section. Actual vintage stuff goes for as much as a bidding war on ebay. I usually only luck out finding new books to read or Halloween costume ideas.<br> | NLogan | Dec 12, 2014 |  |
| 14525 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | <blockquote rel="vkimo"><b>vkimo wrote :</b><br><i> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><br>Yeah, since I decided to do this again as of this week I have realized that I need to start hitting up the thrift stores again. They are pretty picked over here in Chicago. There are a lot of them but there are also a lot of people like you, going regularly and making scores. I have a friend who has no regular job, he makes his whole living thrifting and ebaying. <br><br>But Mrs steak loves to go. The selection of womens' clothes is way better than mens. She also likes kitchen stuff, jewelry, and various housewares and bric-a-brac. The problem going with her is, she will stay for four or five hours. You know the old jokes are about women going to the mall? That's how she is at the thrift store. I can't stand accompanying her for a full trip more than once a year or so.<br><br>Thanks for the tips though, I will start going more, and check out the Goodwill site.<br> | shakin steak | Dec 12, 2014 | |
| 14524 | Got a song stuck in your head? | After re-listening to this song, it'll be stuck in my head for a while.<br><br> <br><iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qO-mSLxih-c?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> | Mr Magic | Dec 12, 2014 | |

If you're a fan of bands like Breaking Benjamin and Rise Against you'll like this song for it's sound at least. <br><br> | ThatDudeintheHoodie | Dec 12, 2014 | |
| 14522 | RetroDaze Christmas Special | The special is uploaded and ready to go with 2 days left to go. Much better than Halloween. :lol:<br> | Vaporman87 | Dec 12, 2014 | |
| 14521 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | Then, the "customer" skips out on Stupendous Man, and calls in Tracer Bullet to hunt him down.<br> | Vaporman87 | Dec 12, 2014 | |
| 14520 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | You'll never catch me Tracer, I'm too light on my toes <img src="http://www.retro-daze.org/images/smilies/parrot.gif"><br><br>I actually considered working at the local thrift store. If I could be the first to sort donations and work a system out with a "customer" picking up all the stuff I put out, I could make a decent living <img src="http://www.retro-daze.org/images/smilies/p11.gif"> | vkimo | Dec 12, 2014 | |
| 14519 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | Just because it hits the donation drop off doesn't mean it hits the sales floor. I personally believe he has an inside guy to buy direct from that is his buddy that works the dock at the donations drop off or something.<br><br>Gives the guy the regular price plus slips him a PEZ every now and then to keep him happy. He probably has to grease palms up and down the food chain with the manager getting a hefty Wendy's Frosty gift certificates pack monthly. <br><br>I have it on good authority that he has been known to give Outback Steakhouse gift cards when necessary.<br><br>Tells 'em all to spread the word on the shifts, "if it looks retro call vkimo!"<br> | NLogan | Dec 12, 2014 | |
| 14518 | The Comedy Thread | A lawyer was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're beautiful!" and then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that so she stayed by his side.<br><br>A couple of minutes later, his eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're cute!" Well, the wife was dissapointed because instead of "beautiful," it was "cute." She asked, "What happened to 'beautiful'?" His reply was "The drugs are wearing off!" <br> | Mr Magic | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 14516 | WTB: Nintendo games, etc. | I'm certain that vkimo has some kind of mob-like connections with the world of thrift store owners. :lol:<br> | Vaporman87 | Dec 11, 2014 | |
