Hey now,
Randomly found this in a thrift store in the area today. Commodore 64 RF switch...which means I can hook up my Commodore 64 to my HDTV, baby!

You ought to keep it real, and use an actual Commodore monitor instead.

But hey, at least you've found C64 stuff at a thrift, which is something I've yet to do.
I have, however, finally found something at a thrift which I've never encountered before. And I'll tell y'all about it at a later time.
Nice finds everyone, interesting retro stop watch you picked up Zagnorch, and Love the PS2 case holders.
The Cronus S-3 was kind of a trip for me. The red LED display just shouts that it hailed from some time between the mid-'70s and early '80s. I also find it kinda ugly, yet in a cool way... if such a thing is possible.
The PS2 case holders were part of a bunch of Sony PS2, PS3, and PSP promotional give-aways that I've been discovering at this one Savers over the past week. My next weekly small scores post will reveal several more PlayStation promo goods I've uncovered there. Hell, they still have at least a couple packs of those letter openers just waiting to be claimed. And now that I have yet another fully-stamped 30% off savings pass ready to burn... hmmmm...
And not that you care, but all of the Goodwills in the Silicon Valley chain will be open on Easter Sunday from 9 to 5. Why? Beats the hell outta me....
I will show off some of my scores from this past month.

You're Mr. Wunderful, all right. Holy crapballs.
You even got a copy of
Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. Holy double crapballs.
BTW were the X-Bone controllers and charging stations Target salvage/overstock stuff? 'Cuz whenever i encounter what looks like unopened current-gen vidya game stuff at the Goodwills I go to, they're usually Target donations. The latest Target-salvage stuff I've seen lately are boxed Wii U headsets for $5.99 each at the Goodwill near my workplace.
These are all from the same goodwill. It is in a pretty rich area, and I check it every couple of days. I have other scores, I will try to get them up if I can take some pics.
Sometimes I wish I had one go-to Goodwill in my area that consistently carried the good stuff. Instead, I have over a dozen different stores I frequent regularly, including a couple I hit almost daily, in the hopes of finding something good. Looks like you have the advantage of location, while i have sheer numbers on my side. Good job, you.
