LGR Thrifts [Ep.50] Richmond Superstars

It's been a while! Checking some of the usual thrift stores in my area and seeing what kinds of retro tech and random old oddities I can find. Plus traveling six hours to Richmond, Virginia to find even more because why not. Let's go thrifting, ooh yeah!

[@BrandonNedwek]

I feel like you really hit peak LGR Thrifts in this one when you find a signed copy of an obscure adult game and then say "but of course I already have a copy". Great stuff as always!

[@LGR]

Ha!

[@azraelle6232]

that's also signed!

[@acubley]

Danger Danger's song "Naughty Naughty" started playing in my head there.

[@stpworld]

@@LGRhey I put you tubers on vhs with real playback can I use your videos to I always give credit and link back to the video

[@volvo09]

I'd guess that quite a bit were probably signed. If it's obscure she probably signed a good portion of them? I could see a Playboy playmate doing that... The personal touch makes it more desirable.

[@TheGreatAtario]

It's finally happened: Clint has absorbed all the good junk into his house from 100 miles around and now needs to travel to find anything more

[@shinyplaid]

14:30 “KZbin apology equipment” really caught me off guard. 😂

[@fruzz]

I nearly spit out my coffee on that one from laughter.

[@GWNHomestead]

I had to wipe my screen off after that 😅 so much for the last sip of coffee I just had....

[@shaikhulud1989]

Clint’s dry humor is so under appreciated

[@danl7756]

100% agree

[@LonSeidman]

Loved it and the subtle delivery :)

[@sanityormadness]

Looks like Goodwill has turned into a UK-style charity shop - 90% clothes, 5% books, 5% random. Welcome to our world.

[@Stevo_1998]

Too right When I was looking for a cheap keyboard a couple years back, I thought charity shops might have had one I went through a good 3-4 and basically everything was just clothes and not much else

[@rivalmindss]

resellers are decemating thrift stores currently.it's so hard to find anything fun or interesting; clothes, electronics, etc have been hollowed out but these people who buy for $5 then resell for a 300% markup. it does seem like its starting to die down. so maybe we can get back to finding weird and interesting things soon.

[@happycube]

@@rivalmindssThat and Goodwill in particular is diverting everything interesting online themselves...

[@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy]

@@rivalmindss Not sure about reselling. I recently got banned on 10 accounts for fraud which I didn't do ... all positive rating for 15 years and I lost contact to at least 20 buyers in that one day thanks to this. Some idi-t reports me and seems like there is not much disputes. Another bad thing is you get reported to other places too and if they trace you it's like a domino effect. It's the same thing like that I have going on, on a related note. I applied to lots of places for a job but I have a flag on me that I am being "pursued" so they rejected me, even tho the reality is that I inherited my father's debts which are a ton of money but it's being slowly paid out. Doesn't matter I have a flag on me and I am a cri-inal now thanks to all this ... I honestly am thinking of running away and live in a jungle and meet my end there ... F--k so called civilization, there is nothing civil about it.

[@HannahRenaeee]

@@rivalmindssthe biggest new thing running Goodwill is the fact that they overprice anything with a name brand and take anything good for their auction site. i truly believe the days of finding an amazing hidden gem at Goodwill are long over. the only thrift store i’ve been at with quality finds in the past few years has been Salvation Army.

[@thereallenK]

thanks for shining a spotlight on my film CURSE OF THE WOLF. appreciate you dude

[@LGR]

Wait, is this Len?? Your movies have been a go-to ever since a friend introduced me to Curse of the Wolf on one memorable movie night, haha. That theme song still gets stuck in my head at random 🤘

[@davidpowers746]

I love that Len Kabasinski is a LGR fan. Get on RLM again!

[@sanle7515]

@SpaceIce, please take note

[@whompronnie]

Oh, hey Len~

[@MrWolfSnack]

Director in chat! I still am amazed on how the creators of objects that KZbinrs show end up finding them out of nowhere. I have uploaded the GTA 1 soundtrack on my other channel, and I've gotten DMA design devs and other members of Rockstar commenting on their experience making the songs and working at DMA Design.

[@ragequit_taco_gaming]

I kinda feel like a huge reason for the lack of cool stuff in recent years is Goodwill's kinda scummy shift to putting all the stuff they think they could get more money for on their website instead of selling it in the store it was donated at

[@SonicBoone56]

Yep

[@petermcgriffin1666]

Also cool stuff is becoming less common as years go by, similar to old cars on the roads. A few years back the ford taurus was everywhere, these days they are a rare sight to see.

[@Autistic_Pixel]

this and resellers.

[@titan_dust]

"youtube apology equipment" was not a line I expected to hear from LGR lmao

[@Issung123]

Speaking of "been a while"... bring back LGR Foods! Those sandwiches always looked goated

[@davidpowers746]

CURSE OF THE WOLF!!!! The greatness that is Len Kabasinski cannot be denied.

[@LGR]

It’s legendary

[@luke0812]

I missed your thrift episodes. So glad they are back

[@Indigoification]

Honestly, LGR, the lack of thrifting finds is very relatable. Regardless of how often you'll post thrift vids, I'll always check them out. Sometimes watching other people's thrifting videos makes me forget that the whole process is about finding a needle in a haystack. This one really put stuff into perspective

[@PineJayForge]

11:23 Rokenbok is a whole system of RC vehicles and machines, largely designed around material handling for little plastic spheres. You can set up a pretty complex "factory" with them, they're really fun to play with. That's the base station where you plug in the controllers. There are supposed to be little cards in slots 1-8 that correspond to the controllers. You would plug the card into the vehicle you wanted to control. 5-8 were either dummy units programmed with basic commands like always on or periodic controls unless you had a second base)

[@ugoboom]

my face lit up when that was on screen man i LOVED my rokenbok stuff the intricate builds you could make were endless and then driving the things around my god i loved it.

[@bullhammer59]

glad to see someone mentioned it, i used to have a lot as a kid. sad to see they no longer make that toy line anymore though

[@Mightymatt54]

These were awesome as a kid, albeit expensive. The snap-together frames, different vehicles... good stuff.

[@stainglassfox]

I loved playing with the display unit at my local “toy” store. I say “toy” store because it was more of an edutainment store than an actual toy store, and I imagine that parents who were obsessed with getting their kids into STEM fields were the exact target audience for Rokenbok haha

[@AdmiralVeers85]

I saved all mine. Have tons of it.

[@iRedMCYT]

“It’s a drop of water… in a desert of diapers.” Just what I needed to hear before my date XD

[@TheSuperMarioBro]

I live a somewhat rural area in the mountains and the nearest goodwills are all full of furniture, clothes and lots of miscellaneous nonsense. It's quite sad how much thrifting has declined in the last few years.

[@gucciguy3408]

Yep and the second you find something cool or interesting it’s insanely overpriced especially for a thrift.

[@SpookyDollhouse]

It's been on a steep decline the last decade. Scalpers and the stores themselves catching-on have really driven it into the ground. It's hard for people with little cash to even get essentials. My local thrifts are pricing vacuums against "vacuum collector" prices on eBay even, it's that bad!

[@denniswoycheshen]

You might as well go buy the jeans at Costco because Value Village will sell them for the same price or more.

[@The_Keeper]

I think most stuff is sold online these days, like on Ebay and such. Whatever lands at a Thrift store has either been thoroughly picked over, or if you're lucky, from someone who didn't know what they had and just needed to dump some stuff. I truely think that thrifting just won't be a thing for digital stuff in a couple of years.

[@pc5440]

Way back in the day I remember finding NES consoles and things like that. Now it all goes to the internet and people don't donate cool stuff anymore, and if they do, well again... right to the internet. most people can easily sell things online as well, not like the old days where it was a yard sale or pay to list it in the paper.

[@DragonslayerProd]

That moment when you realize the shelves of Adult Diapers are probably from the inventory of an older person who... doesn't need them anymore.

[@r4vendusk]

Or a shop ditching unsold stock at cost

[@MrWolfSnack]

Medicare facilities will donate their stuff to goodwill for tax credits.

[@zombieshaun]

I kid you not, when my home page refreshed and I saw this come up I let out an audible “YES!”. I work in IT and the current environment is decidedly not healthy, but it’s videos like yours that keep me passionate about technology rather than apathetic. Thank you for being you, and sharing your love of tech with us! Thrifts videos especially feel like a warm hug. 💜

[@KiyokaMakibi]

Oh man... I would so spend hours in that big store. There's something special about physically browsing a store.

[@LilSirAxolotl]

2nd & Charles is a seriously cool mix between pawn shop and thrift store! But once the vultures picked everything off it's just going to end up becoming another stockpile of sports games and classical music

[@DanielLopez-up6os]

"KZbin apology equipment" had me laughing inappropriately on the bus.

[@starchildluke]

Ah, Ol' Dirty Golf Balls. My favourite member of Wu-Tang Clan

[@CosmicMage]

Clint, you are the greatest thrift find of all. Unfortunately I don't think things are going to get better seeing how Goodwill now has a special site dedicated to making sure they harvest every remotely interesting thing they can before it ever reaches the floors of their retail stores. Anything of value now gets put up on their own custom eBay styled auction site. I think in the long run they are shooting themselves in the foot because they're removing the treasure hunting aspect which drove most of their business.

[@freecycle53215]

And they are removing items that could remain in the community that donated them. I hate this practice. People should look for alternatives if they want to donate things to a thrift shop. Here we have Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul and a few independant stores.

[@9.peanut]

@@freecycle53215 I went to a Salvation Army several years ago that the electronics section felt like I walked into Walmart in 1994. It was amazing. Unfortunately, I wasn't in a spot to act. I have dreams about it still.

[@Bobbias]

The Salvation Army throws out most of the interesting stuff that shows up though, unless you like collecting Bibles or Christian music (or maybe some inoffensive country at best).

[@MrWolfSnack]

Dude, ShopGoodwill has been running for over a decade, if you're going to bitch and moan about it, you're late to the party. Also more people know about eBay and trying to get a ton of money for their stuff now than ever, so the stuff is on eBay before it even leaves the owner's house and never makes it to goodwill to begin with. When I was game collecting in 2003+, Goodwill was my game store. I got games for all kinds of random systems, and entire boxes of consoles and accessories. Got a jungle green and two shades of blue N64's there with controllers and everything for $10 back in 2007 ish - each. Entire Dreamcast system and 8 games for $20. Sega Sports dreamcast for $5.

[@MrWolfSnack]

There is no alternatives. salvation army and st vinnys have both went bankrupt all across the nation and only exist in larger cities. goodwill is the only thrift store in my city. @@freecycle53215

[@Xizor15]

Hello from Richmond! Super cool that you were here recently. It's a great town. Our thrift shop scene is kinda lacking, but if you're ever back in town you should visit Diversity Thrift!

[@gingerAV]

that’s what i was thinking! there’s also a goodwill computer store in southside that i’ve been meaning to go to.

[@nicholasgoalie]

It's totally not lacking just gotta know where to go. Southside was some great stores. The hospice thrift, reclamation thrift, family thrift (found a full gundam kit and warhammer books here). A couple near forest hill.

[@nicholasgoalie]

Circle thrift also always has the weirdest stuff

[@neuronic85]

I've been there. I don't remember how they did for tech, but it is a great store of weirdness and wonder overall.

[@lawnside82]

Diversity thrift is the best one.

[@vwestlife]

Logitech, Microsoft, and Lenovo were all pushing that new keyboard layout with the extra-large delete key for a while. After enough people complained, they gave up on the idea and went back to the standard IBM layout that everyone has been using for the past 35 years.

Trying to find physical PC games is harder than finding the fountain of youth in Michigan. Wish I could go to Virginia like you, that store would've been my dream place.

[@ragequit_taco_gaming]

Same, I occasionally get lucky with random Sims 2 packs which is something I've been looking for but yeah the amount of cool stuff has been dwindling while prices have been rising

[@dickkickem]

yep. out of my 40-ish thrift visits i have found big box pc games at all 2 or 3 times. i saw a sealed DOS mega man for $40 and a big box DOOM II for $100 the first time at an antiques store, was gonna buy the mega man but didn't have money at the time and when i came back the next day it was gone. second time it was heavy metal fakk 2 and total annihilation for $3/each at goodwill, great titles so i snagged them immediately. next time i saw they had a big box at all it was a big box copy of noctropolis and they had it at $30 in a glass case. someone eventually bought that one

[@GeneralNickles]

I stopped at a random no name thrift store in southern Georgia on the way to Orlando last year and found a mint big box copy of Myst. Totally complete. Even had the original sales receipt from 1995.

[@jarrodhook]

Love you Clint. Few things -your brother looks a lot like you! I saw him briefly and thought it was you. -love the thrift videos. They made me comfy -I’m very sad that life has moved on and we don’t see this kind of thing anymore, walls and walls of media. -thanks for a great video.

[@standup109]

Literally started binging all the thrifts yesterday, this is amazing ❤ It’s strange to be nostalgic for thrifting from 10+ years ago, but the pandemic seems to have changed everything.

[@jandjrandr]

I used to go through the thrift stores near me for finds like these, but it has become rarer and rarer to find any tech gems these days. Books on the other hand seem abundant. Since I read books to my kids almost every night many of those books were acquired from thrift stores.

[@sirflimflam]

This has sadly been the Goodwill situation in San diego for the better part of a decade. Want clothes? Yup. Cups? Yup. Lamps? Sure. Speakers? OK. That's why I enjoyed your thrift content so much because your stores always seemed so packed with goodies.

Even Kobey's isn't what it used to be

[@TheEddieJ1984]

Goodwill situation in general, they're really lacking on the east coast in the Philly area as well.

As someone who used to work in sorting and stocking a local thrift store, I nodded in solidarity at calling out Janet Evanovich. Never heard her name before working there, but we had entire shelves dedicated to her.

[@Iceykitsune]

22:49 I... wha... That's an *amazing* find. That model kit is a limited edition lucky draw prize and can pull big money on ebay. That store had nobody who knew gunpla.

[@realjohnhammond]

Thrifts was how I started watching your channel. My mom used to be work for many years in a thrifts store so I found it very nostalgic to watch your videos after she died from cancer a couple of years ago now. Then I started to watch your videos on old computers and remembered how my dad loved to tinker with his computer back in the early to late 90’s. I feel like your channel is one of - if not the most - wholesome channels on KZbin and I really appreciate your dedication, your passion, your dry sense of humor, your kindness and your humbleness. Your videos bring me so much joy and peace to mind, thank you for all of your videos over the years and happy 50th anniversary on Thrifts :)

[@adamsavard535]

That hoodie is GLORIOUS

[@DavesArchives]

I've also experienced that Goodwills in Houston rarely ever have anything nostlagic and vintage any longer. It's most likely garage sale junk now. It used to be soooo different 2-5 years ago. Treasures galore...not any more. I have no idea why.

[@DeeAndre]

This has been going on for a decade??? Oh my goodness I remember watching the very first episode like it was a couple days ago. 😭

The Thrifts videos are always some of my favorites. My parents split up my senior year of high school and then my dad lost the house (and all my belongings) my freshman year of college (out of state) so I've lost a lot of stuff I loved. When I saw the Mind Trap game, I immediately remembered it and had to pause your video to go buy one on eBay. One tiny piece of my heart restored.

Omg! 11:24 Rokenbok was WAY ahead of its time! Had these in the 90s/00s, they are remote control construction vehicles combined with a set of plastic girders sort of like big rectangular K'nex. They come with little balls pf different sizes to load up into dump trucks using a bucket loader, street sweepers, load pallets on forklifts, etc. And the floorplates had studs that made it compatible with Lego! It was the coolest thing i had as a kid, i can't even imagine how much money my parents spent on it. Give it a search if any of this sounded interesting, I really don't think I'm doing it justice by my description! Edit: oh yeah, there was a skidsteer as well, and a monorail system, plus electronic conveyor belts/lifts, with pipes/chutes/etc, all focused around transporting the spheres about the jobsite thing you've constructed!

[@Derpyforderpy]

Nice to see you trying still on the thrifts. Problem is that most of the thrift stores are doing auction sites to sell their expensive and unique items now. So long vintage monitor or radio. Its shipped to the highest bidder e.e

[@WafflePlaneRC]

Yep. Goodwill especially is hardly worth going to anymore- 90% of interesting things will just get put to online auction, and the remainder will be priced at retail value. Local competitors are better, but come in various levels of quality. So-called "vintage" shops can also sometimes have interesting things, but prices can be higher and item turnover is much slower, so it's not somewhere to go every week.

[@thelbtlover]

This is why I stopped going to Goodwill completely. Do they want to have a physical store or do they want to pay employees to list everything online? You can't have both. If you take literally anything decent and list it online then there's no point in going to the stores. Their stores are just rubbish bins now where they sell nasty used clothes for 90% of what they cost new and beat up garbage furniture that belongs in a crack house. I miss when thrift stores were actually decent.

[@brid8038]

@11:20 I used to have a Rokenbok set! Rokenbok's main method of play was through RC vehicles, connected to this hub through small interchangeable receivers. Those eight slots around the antenna were used to store those receivers when not in use.

[@Markimark151]

Thrifting has changed in recent years, because of stores no longer wanting to sell expensive vintage items on store shelves anymore. My local goodwill has mostly phased out selling vintage physical media like VHS tapes and even video games! But 2nd and Charles in Richmond looks amazing, this is what thrift stores should be like for physical media!

[@ragequit_taco_gaming]

Yeah shifting towards putting all of that stuff in their online auction instead

[@Markimark151]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@ragequit_taco_gamingthey’re trying to combat show-rooming, with putting those items online, because they want people to bid on those products and sell them more quickly.

I have a whole Rokenbok demo unit in the basement, from when my uncle worked at a toy store. They're remote-controlled construction vehicles. Those numbered slots on top are for keeping the receivers in. You put them in the vehicles you want to control. Great fun for kids, and at least for a little while for adults as well.

[@jeffb2520]

Goodwill no longer puts the high value items out on the floor anymore. They go straight to their own corporate auction website. I have had better luck at St. Vincent de Paul stores and locally owned thrift stores.

[@ThatNerdDerek]

Dude, my first job was at a local Christian bookstore from 2001-2003 that had a very sizable music section. Seeing every single album that I recognized in that used section brought so many memories back

I've been to Akihabara in Japan this year, specifically to Super Potato, it had a lot of cool old games from NES to the PSP, a wild selection that I didn't have the time to check out or buy anything, the experiece at seeing older consoles I've never seen outside of youtube video's was enough for me. I literally treated it like a pilgrimage, even played one of the working street fighter alpha arcade games.

[@JonPaulMaki]

That zoom in on the calendar killed me.

[@bmath314]

I was told by someone who worked at goodwill that most of the really cool stuff that comes into the stores gets catalogued and sold online. Which appears to be the truth if you check out their website/online shop. I think they have been moving that way for several years but some regions adopted the policy quicker than others. Mom and pop thrift stores and local charity thrift stores are the only places I find anything cool these days.

[@mark_midmark]

KZbin apology instrument 😂😂😂 Also good call on the Herb Alpert lol it really is everywhere

[@deejaybuttbaby]

I've been collecting since 2010 VHS and records mainly, and have noticed as well Goodwills are absolutely abysmal in recent years. I've had a lot of luck at antique malls that allow collectible booths in, so focus has shifted from thrifting your typical thrift joints to antique malls and such. Still hit up occasionally a goodwill but it feels like you really have to get there on a lucky hit when a nice drop comes in. PC games have been the bane of my collector existence! Crazy to see this series at 50 episodes. Always happy to see it though! cheers

Ahhh that "rokenbok" brought back long forgotten memories!! My rich freind growing up had one they where little robots and tractors and the radios / batteries charged in that base !

[@hf7188]

New LGR and CRD thrifting videos in the same week? What luck!

Don't live in a place where there's a lot of good local thrifting opportunities but when I see a place like the latter store I feel this weird sense of nervousness or resignation. Like I could travel to a big warehouse store and maybe find some things I've been looking for for ages but I'm not sure how I'd feel after. Maybe being where I am is a bit better, I can still want some of these things but going through the struggle of actually finding these them (as I get older the chances increase that it'll be impossible) might wind up costing me more than suffering through the nostalgia. I'm glad I saw this, I think it's cool these places exist rather than all the stuff just winding up in a dump somewhere. I do wonder what will happen to stuff like this in a half century, though. Maybe with digitization at least some categories of things will taper off. I'll admit I did feel some relief when I saw that the DVDs were organized alphabetically. Wouldn't take somebody days to search the whole place for a single title that way :)

Jaguar with Jaguar CD add on is a crazy thing to see at a thrift store

[@kingdomkey2397]

It's so awesome that you made it to 50 thrifting videos. Watching you peruse through the thrift stores really made me appreciate them, and now I enjoy going out and trying to find something cool and interesting. Looking forward to more, even though I can understand how tough it is to find a hidden gem.

Licensed cookbooks being a thing makes sense from a cookbook publisher’s perspective because…when’s the last time you’ve gone out of your way to buy a normal physical cookbook instead of just searching a recipe you wanna make on your phone

On a road trip to Ohio to see family last year, I was driving through Charlotte, North Carolina I happened onto a 2nd and Charles and man what a find of a place! Found some other Gundam PS2 games and I could been in their for hours looking through the DVDs! Seeing alot of those older games in person that are usually overpriced you see for rip off prices at anime conventions, at least in Florida, was refreshing to see there at 2nd! Sadly there is only 2 whole 2nd & Charles in the state of Floirida but all the way in St. Augustine and one in Gainesville! A several hour drive for anyone as nerdy as I to travel just for some decently priced games/consoles/etc. If you're looking for Old vintage games, old boxed PC products, consoles and their games as well as PC games, etc, I'd highly suggest going to Ohio. The state has many great small and large stores with reasonable prices throughout many cities, Specially in the surrounding areas of Columbus, Ohio! Stores like Bargain box in Zanesville, Pixel Heart Games in Clairsville, and many more!

Finally another thrifts!! Please talk about how thrift shops charge too much

[@MattTester]

Ooh, my grandparents had an Aiwa system that used the same remote as the one at 5:47, there's a memory unlocked.

[@workandfamily2742]

I’m so jealous of the thrift stores in America, the second hand stores in the uk can sometimes be abysmal 😢

[@rommix0]

Yeah. In the uk, Portobello Road is the place to be anyway. It ain't just a Disney song. It's a real flea market. Once got an old camera there.

[@77elvistheking]

In all of Europe I guess. Mostly used clothes and random garbage thrown altogether. Best case I've seen here is some random sports games, PS2 and PC shovelware and used magazine bundled CDs-DVDs from the early to mid 2000s. Never a single PS1 or older PC game or anything retro hardware related. Guess European markets are so much smaller compared to the US that anyone that still has stuff from back then has already noticed how much more he or she can make on Ebay and collectors markets.

[@fcubeboy4959]

Never stop these! I’ve been watching it for years, they are very comforting. I’d love to go thrifting, but I live in the UK, and we only have shitty charity shops. The best thing I ever found was a decent set generic of shielded PC speakers. They are shit.

[@Evanski]

its really annoying that thrift stores are becoming more and more "used clothing / furniture" stores rather then the place for weird stuff people tossed out

[@GrayHairedGamer]

Toe Tags clip killed me. 😂
