LGR - Thrifts [Ep.44] Auld Lang Finds

Best $1 I've ever spent. twitter.com/lazygamereviews/status/1211099893198143488

[@fitnesswithsteve]

_Amazing!_

[@beezle1976]

The idea that this is possibly one of the most "liked" soap dispensers ever amuses me for no particular reason. I think it's the randomness. Seriously though, there's a very real possibility that its true. How often do soap dispensers get limelight? Not very I'd wager, and your channel being fairly large.... genuine chance this is one of the most "liked" soap dispensers of all time.

[@commodoresixfour7478]

You should have checked that clear radio for tamper stickers. Products like that are usually prison electronics. I own 3 Clear case CRT Television's and all of them came from prisons.

[@comms9803]

Geez, I love these videos!

[@mrmactknife]

How is it powered? Did you have to wire it up?

[@RadJordy]

We all laughed at Clint for his hands free soap dispenser. Now we are all fools.

Oh boy the movies I get from relatives and never watch. I feel bad, but I never get around to it

[@Daehawk]

My wife would have loved them if they were DVD. She owned a lot of them.

[@DragonNexus]

I think one of them was out of the celophane. So it's possible they started watching and went "You know what? Maybe I don't like the Waltons as much as I thought..."

"Used fake trees, a special kind of melancholy." Radiohead would agree.

FromtheWordsofBR one might imagine that Goodwill has a number of green plastic watering cans.

[@nastybedazzler]

I've always passed over the LGR Thrifts videos. After seeing this, I have no idea why lol. Now I'm gonna have to go through and watch every single Thrifts video you've got to offer because this was super fun. It makes me want to head out and go to all the Goodwill's in my area, I haven't been to one in years.

[@Not-Great-at-Gaming]

14:37 "Federal law prohibits sale or re-use" has a goodwill price tag right below.

[@mrmactknife]

Goodwill's sticking it to The Man haha

[@patrick6350]

That 'candle holder' looks like the efforts of someone in pottery class who spends the whole semester making covert bongs.

[@AaronOfMpls]

Looked like something I'd stick in a fish tank to me, but, yah, now that you mention it...

[@AriaLunaCampbell]

Got a real "Eldritch secrets await ye who would possess this artifact" type feel to it. My type of bong. You know, if I was into that sort of thing.

[@stancenz2095]

yeah thats definitely a bong without a stem.

[@johnthomas9611]

we had to make these in clay class in high school basically its just make a circle of clay and stack em up how you want then paint them when there hardened in the kiln

[@slack3r21]

Those clear electronics are used a lot for prisoners. I found a TV on one of my thrifting runs (that you inspired) and did some research. That seems like a prison radio. They can't hide anything in it and it doesn't need batteries that can be stolen. Love this series!

[@danieldaniels7571]

slack3r21 batteries can also be used to light cigarettes so many jails don’t allow them.

[@davidinark]

I wholeheartedly approve of the various dad jokes throughout the video! Love LGR thrifts!

Thanks for another great year of LGR, Clint! Gotta love the "Why didn't I grab that?" moment after thrifting. It always happens. RE: That gaming keyboard -- Everything feels like garbage when you start using a Model M for your main keyboard.

It's always a good day when an LGR - Thrifts is uploaded.

[@thefinalpie]

I love this stuff. As a manager of a small local thrift store its always awesome to see people being curious and excited to find stuff.I love all of LGR but these videos are extra special for me.

[@siskavard]

Thanks LGR, I spat my coffee all over my screen at "BALLS"

[@glenncaughey5044]

siskavard You can use that soap dispenser to clean up. 😎

[@collectorsalmanac]

the two-button device at the start is for dictaphone setups. You would hook it up to a tape deck that took the extra inputs and allowed you to backspace ( rewind the tape) and then play without having to move your hands off the keyboard.

[@dknox6053]

"we've hit the motherload.... of boring software." Lol

NOW still makes CD’s in 2019...life is strange sometimes

[@d2factotum]

What I found surprising was he said it was 90s nostalgia. Did you not get the series until then in the States? It's been going in the UK since 1983!

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

d2factotum oh wow, yeah over here it was mainly in the late 90’s when it started, as far as I know

[@jr2904]

[@Axess-sv8nq]

Your videos are very enjoyable for this old dude who was around when most of this stuff was brand new! haha!

[@jenkins80526]

These videos just bring back so much nostalgia. I really do appreciate these Thrift videos and I hope that you keep doing them. I do appreciate these very much.Thanks LGR. I live in a town that has a ton of flea markets and thrift stores so for weekend entertainment, I get together with friends and family to walk through the stores just for entertainment and we often buy the strangest things we can find and give it to unsuspecting friends. Most of the time, our friends who get the surprise gifts actually end up enjoying the strange things we pick up for them LOL! And then sometimes they get mad and punch us in the face....ha ha haa.

[@Dukefazon]

Can't wait for the quarantine to be over so Clint can go Thrifting again! :)

[@Patmanx1]

man, that nostalgic sears branded record player. My dad still has his sound system from 1979-1982 era. It has the vinyl player, with built in 8 track, the tape deck/radio, the mixer, and both 3ft-4ft tall speakers. all wood all brown except for the radio and mixer which are silver... but long story short. They all have that same font and slider/dial design. love it.

[@kennethmoureau5123]

9:31 "balls" lol That made me snort.

[@shhh1996shhh]

The foot pedal is definitely for a cassette recorder. My mom had the same one when she worked as a secretary for the city taking minutes of meetings. Great work!

[@jadenborowsky5584]

Buggy dog the Goodwill mascot needs to be in the thrifts intro

[@Dogy0909]

We sold those Black Series games when I worked at JCPenneys. Just a cheap kind of game for a stocking stuffer, wouldn’t be surprised if someone got it that way and donated it after. Also I’m a transcriptionist currently, would’ve made use of that pedal.

[@levaidaniel]

"it's gotta be a record" - I dieded

[@kendraressler4497]

My family's first computer was a Gateway 2000. Those speakers you showed brought back memories of me and my brother playing games on it.

The other day I found a pair of mine FM radio headphones with an antenna at a thrift store. I got it for 3 bucks. Then I went to a supermarket wearing them and some guy saw it and offered me 5 bucks. So I made a couple bucks. Wish i had kept the radio though. It was nice to have. lol

[@Sicarius888]

Screen savers and wallpapers sold in a big software box is such a crazy idea. I remember every magazine demo discs were full of it, I would never have guessed a company put it in a box and sold for money, or that someone actually was buying it even back then. This video series always has a surprise.

[@llamasandanime]

Some adults have teddy bears that they refuse to part with. My dad has a version of that HP calculator from like 1985.

[@drsudo5135]

The transparent radio is for use in a prison so that there is no where to smuggle contraband in with it

[@tildessmoo]

So much nostalgia in this one. I recognized the foot pedal the second it appeared on camera, since my mom used one to control playback without leaving the word processor when she was an offsite medical transcriptionist (incidentally, when we first got a dialup modem, since she needed it for work), and my brother had pretty much exactly that clock radio (yes, from a thrift store) back in the day. Oh, and Broderbund Home Architect! My dad picked that up thinking he might use it for a remodeling project, and we ended up basically using it like The Sims (except without the people, and before The Sims was a thing). Hours of fun mocking up houses we'd never be able to afford in real life.

[@kaczmaracyck]

WingMaster562 Did PS1 controllers use parallel?

[@WingMaster562]

@@kaczmaracyck No, but it can be wired to a parallel jack with some diodes. I noticed that my brother's DanceDanceRevolution pad had both parallel and ps1 jacks. Upon opening it, I found that it was just wired straight with diodes. . I looked it up on the net, and found a guide: www.raphnet.net/electronique/psx_adaptor/psx_adaptor_en.php . The diodes were cheap, I had basic soldering skills, and it worked like a charm.

[@danieldaniels7571]
