I have seen some XBox 360, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3 games at my local Value Village (run by the same company as Savers). Occasionally, I might see an XBox or PlayStation controller among the small electronics. Generally, the best places to look for old games and old game systems are pawn shops. However, pawn shops typically charge much more. One near me has a sizable collection of games, systems, and peripherals for the NES, Super NES, Genesis, and Master System. I usually don't see old games in thrift stores, but a few months ago at my local Value Village, I found a pair of Atari 2600 paddles, which worked perfectly with my Commodore VIC 20!

[@GamerAhmer]

Oh wow! Pawn shops near me aren’t good at all. Most of the time they have connections to people who resell the games for them or they post the stuff online. I’m still hoping my thrifts start to have more old stuff!

[@Wizard92595]

At my local Savers, the employees who stand outside and take donations have told me that there are 2 employees who do the pricing inside, gobble up all the games and hoard for themselves. He said I would be flabbergasted by how much good stuff and expensive games are donated and that only 5 to 10% of the games donated actually make it to the shelves. This explains why I can't ever score a game that's worth more than $5. I went everyday for a year, sometimes twice a day, and rarely scored a game. With as many copies of Mario Kart and Wii Sports sold, you'd think I'm come across a copy here or there. Nope. GoodWill and other thrift stores have gotten smart to video games too, and often resell online now. It's tough to find a good deal at a thrift store.

[@brentvance9090]

Similar at all my local 2nd Avenue Thrift shops. A few resellers befriended the workers and now they hold all video game related items for those resellers. I've had great luck at garage sales though.

[@GamerAhmer]

Yup that happens too unfortunately :(

[@WilliamSmith-ex9et]

OP does not surprise me. At any of these stores if you see a 20 something or 30 something-year-old male working there you might as well just turn around and walk out. They will have taken the good deals. Most of the time.

[@GamerAhmer]

@@WilliamSmith-ex9et I’ve seen some (while working) request to buy some of the games/consoles while the other staff say “we aren’t supposed to do that but I’ll set it aside this one time”. Happened with a PS4 console, games, and More that were just put out onto the shelf last week.

[@WilliamSmith-ex9et]

@@GamerAhmer it’s a jungle out there for sure🌴🥹

[@WilliamSmith-ex9et]

I find some ok deals at Savers in Riverside CA but I’ve totally given up on Goodwill in California.

[@GamerAhmer]

Goodwills around here are terrible.

[@RetrocartCollector]

Really great score! I haven’t been able to find much locally for games at the thrifts here, but I guess I better get back out there and look again! Great video and some awesome game pick ups!

[@GamerAhmer]

Yes!! Always have to keep looking! Lol. Thanks for watching!

[@fezwhy]

I foresee a complete PS3 run in your collecting future.

[@mattfiorello1885]

Hi GamerAhmer I Hope Half Price Books Fye And Savers Comes To Mount Pleasant South Carolina Sometime In The Future

[@GamerAhmer]

That would be great!

[@stashmerkin9576]

Alice is an excellent game! Originally it also gave you the first Alice PC game from the 90s but I think that's no longer functional. Might want to check though.

[@GamerAhmer]

Oh very nice!

[@DoYouNerd]

Long time fan of the R&C series! Oooh, Alice huh? Must've made Jenn's gamer sense ring with that one. I liked the first Jak game but didnt care for the direction they took the series after it. Lady Laci played through L.A. Noire; it was fine, nothing special, but fun to see something different from the norm at the time.

[@GamerAhmer]

Oh I’m sure she has to know! I thought of her immediately! And I loved it! Maybe it was the time though. Nice and refreshing from some of the other games.

[@retrobeliever]

I do well at thrift stores but in Oklahoma above me lol, dang you got some good finds!!!

[@GamerAhmer]

Yes! Always looking too!

[@retrobeliever]

@@GamerAhmer I’ll be heading to a place in Frisco Texas tomorrow after going to the video game museum there, I feel a future vid coming 😉

[@GamerAhmer]

@@retrobeliever yes!!

[@matcam89]

There is still deals to be had but you need to be very consistent, great pick ups! Love the PS3

[@GamerAhmer]

Oh absolutely!

[@Patrick-tw7nr]

I also think the problem is that there is more people doing this so deals are harder to come by as now I’m sure there are 5-6 people looking at the same places you are and just a matter of timing of who gets it first

[@GamerAhmer]

Definitely. It’s changed so much over these past few years!

[@Johnnyboi1986]

Geez great pickups. Please play spec ops the line. Best story I’ve ever played in an fps game. It is such a crazy, good experience

[@GamerAhmer]

Oh that’s what I heard! I will definitely be checking it out!

[@shanenice5380]

Price charting sucks.thats why games prices goes up

[@user-tv5hl8zu9s]

I thank you for making this videos you always been nice honest person 😌 ✨️

[@GamerAhmer]

Thank you so much!!

You are awesome 👌 👏 👍

Positive algorithm comment

[@GamerAhmer]

Thank you!

[@GrailboundGaming]

Wow! You really scored big by going to the thrift. All those PS3 games are bangers! With Alice Madness Returns, hopefully you can download the first game, American McGee's Alice, from the title screen.

[@GamerAhmer]

Oh I sure hope so! Definitely glad to find these and happy to try some out!

[@Patrick-tw7nr]

It really is hit or miss and just got to keep going and when you see those deals grab em all. I made the mistake of passing on 3 GameCube CIB box games like Sonic, Rayman and Need for Speed 2 and did score on WarioWorld so there is that. Moving forward especially with Goodwill selling all games for 3.99, Id the value is at least 3 times what I purchase it for, just get it

[@GamerAhmer]

Oh wow! And yes. If I don’t grab them someone else will!

[@OrbitGametv]

some of these are good games got a few of them in my ps3 collection

[@GamerAhmer]

Very nice!

[@OrbitGametv]

@@GamerAhmer nice to meet you I'm from Jamaica 🇯🇲. I'm also into game collecting

[@GamerAhmer]

@@OrbitGametv woah! That’s super cool. Very awesome! Thanks for watching and Game On!

[@OrbitGametv]

@@GamerAhmer your welcome. I will most definitely keep watching your stuff. hope you check out a content on my side

[@GamerAhmer]

@@OrbitGametv will do!

[@GAMECLOSET]

99.9% of the time here, locally, I never find any games or gaming stuff at thrift stores (especially Goodwill). And if I do, it’s 1 really messed up Wii game and nobody would want (some shovelware fitness game). It’s possible to find silver and gold, yes, just not here more than once every other year 😂. What idiot donated Alice? Wow! That’s a $25 to $50 game depending on Xbox / PS3 and condition. (I got mine last year for $22) ❤ (and Spec Ops! Wow! Good find. Watch my full review on that from about 4 months back. You’ll have fun.)

[@GamerAhmer]

I know right?! And that’s why I stop often now. Have to always look just in case!

[@user-nc7dx4zb3d]

I have them all lol

[@GamerAhmer]

Nice!
