GREATEST GOODWILL FIND EVER!

[@retrorick]

Happy Monday yall! Please note, I am saying that using thecoverproject.net is a great resource for personal use. I would not sell games using the reprinted cover art to try to pass off as original...don't do that!!! Thanks for watching everyone!

[@itemblock882]

Import Tuner Challenge is the last (and only HD) game in the Tokyo Extreme Racing series (popular on Dreamcast)

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Totally agree Rick. If you do sell the games at any point just let the buyer know it’s not original cover Art. Most people wouldn’t care as long as your up front about it.

[@jacobharvey2946]

I was JUST going to comment about this. Thanks for clarifying. I like to get cases with labels, or print my own so it looks nice in the shelf and they’re not just loose. But would def never sell something that way without clarifying. Though I don’t really sell, just collect and display so I’ve not really had to deal with that directly (to the displeasure of my wife). 😂😂

[@robert_roland63]

I may use this resource since I’ve got Shinobi for PS2 that I got from GameStop years ago that was disc only. 👍

[@jay_q4008]

Man I love your game collection

[@jbh8791]

Buddy of mine found Chibi-Robo, Cubivor, Baton Katos and a couple of other heavy hitter Gamecube games at our Salvation Army. Same dude bumped into a Goodwill employee on her way to stock some games and walked out with Conker's Bad Fur Day, Smash Bros, Mario 64 and a few others. All of them are in my collection now.

[@Psiqo]

I would say just for ethical reasons if you were go sell the game with the reprinted label i would watermark it saying its a reproduction cover but for a personal collection I see nothing wrong with reproduction cover art

[@retrorick]

Totally agree!

[@hitoshijohnson]

I think they should say "repro" or something like that on them.

[@unicornsandglitteeer]

I think just disclosing it would be okay. & obviously letting the price reflect that since a collector might have to then go buy the original box.

[@Psiqo]

@@unicornsandglitteeer i absolutely agree, but if its for personal collection I don't think its a problem.

[@thomasvasquez7015]

For sure. Honesty is the only policy.

[@mathompson640]

I can’t believe how excited I was for you finding that copy of chibi-robo lol. Love this channel keep up the good work.

im still in shock! Thanks for watching Matthew!

Man NFL Blitz 2000 on the N64 was one of my favorite sports titles...so crazy to think not even 3 years later they have Blitz 2003 on Xbox....wild!

[@howellgraphics]

The Goodwills where I live never have more then 2 to 3 games at a time and the are usually kinect games.

[@LaCokaNostra81]

I use to work at goodwill, and it is still one of my favorite jobs. The best thing to do is make friends with the donation attendant because they can hold stuff for you and call you when they have the good stuff.

[@Will-nq3fo]

Craziest find at Goodwill. Mantle clock from west Germany 60's era. Paid 10 bucks worth north of 500. It was clean had the wind up key in it and works.

[@JoshPowell81]

Love cover art project! Such a cool site! Ironic enough, I use the straight edge cutter I scored at the goodwill for 2 bucks to cut my covers

[@DaTwyztedLounge]

Keep up the great work, watching these videos and seeing those dope old school games brings me back to my childhood days.

[@NoahSonet]

I mostly go to my local flea market but the most expensive game i have found for cheap was actually a sealed halo 3 helmet special edition that i bought for 45$. I sold it on ebay for 435$

[@rainraindown]

Found a copy of Zelda Twilight Princess for GC at Goodwill a couple months ago for $3. Sold on eBay for $152.50. Insane.

[@paceeilers2253]

I found a copy of Steel battalion at goodwill in February for $5. Not as good as Chibi Robo, but it made my month.

[@bryanfleming6885]

I know how you feel about finding Chibi Robo! I found my copy last year at an antique store in a small town in Maine for $10. Amazingly fun game!

[@expensivecardboard]

Nice finds. I recently found fable anniversary for $3. It's valued at nearly 40-50$

[@Videogamelover58]

My craziest find I found in goodwill actually happened in a span of 5 years each. In October of 2015, I found a complete copy of Paper mario and a thousand year door for $5. 5 years later in October of 2020, I found another copy, this time just the game with the case for $2. Paper mario thousand year door for $2!

[@retrorick]

holy crap...that is wild! That game has skyrocketed

[@douge_fresh6603]

Retro Rick I know it definitely has , I bought a CIB copy of paper Mario 1000 yr door last year for $49 at half price book , and i felt kinda bad because i usually don’t spend that much for 1 game , but it has skyrocketed lately so it was worth it

[@jimmyt7233]

I also got my Chibi Robo at a Goodwill 2 years ago for $4. Great find!

[@waynesmith3177]

I found a copy of Fire Emblem Path of Radiance at Goodwill that's in really good condition. The funny thing is that someone I know told me about it and he didn't know what it was so he didn't get it. I went two days later and it just happened to be buried under some other stuff in their display case. I think that's probably the only reason it was still there.

[@jonathanparker7416]

Awesome finds my biggest Goodwill score was Xenosaga iii for $6 sold it for $222

[@MatSpeedle]

been using the cover project for years to help case up loose games. With a decent printer you can get some lovely looking covers. Made good use of my old workplaces hi res laser colour printer ;) I use a sharp scalpel and metal ruler to get nice crisp cut lines. There are also some great programs out there to make sure you print to the exact dimensions

[@liampreyer6607]

What an absolute score! I found Skies of Arcadia Legends for $5

[@retrorick]

what a great score Liam!

[@neloornelas3542]

I paid 220$

[@gamesandgains7100]

Dude what a find!! Freaking love seeing all these finds everyone is having

[@aidetund6263]

Another thing about the Cover Project, is I always use gloss paper to make it feel slightly more real. Pretty sure you can get gloss paper at like walmart! I love the cover project as well!

[@karenharvey7197]

Found a copy of Seaman complete with microphone at Mt Mission ( local goodwill type store) for Dreamcast for 5.00. Value 90 plus.

[@cheshiredon]

I really only like to print covers for games that came in cardboard. Gameboy, GBA, Virtual Boy, Lynx, etc. Especially if I have the manual. It's so nice to keep the game and manual together in a clamshell.

[@fightrudyfight5799]

Best find was a bag of old G1 Transformers. Hot Rod, sound wave and other decepticons. Many many years ago but still was awesome!

[@andyadams420]

My biggest score at Goodwill was just the other day. I got a 3DO in box that had never been played for $80. Also got Road Rash and John Madden for $3 each. I was so stoked that it still had the cords in unopened packages. To top it off I bought a $5 Orion DVD/TV combo that now works to play it on.

[@daydrmr3391]

Amazing, my best find was pretty recently, a stack of PS4, GameCube and Dreamcast games for less than 20 bucks total. One of the GameCube games was lugis mansion and blue stinger for Dreamcast

[@martinmanzo2628]

Nice!!!! My best single game find was samurai western PS2 complete for 3$ at my nearest thrift store

Getting that GameCube game at Goodwill for $2 that is worth over $200 is definitely a lucky fine for sure!! Way to go!!

[@nathanielfrisbee7515]

The Cover Project is my favorite to use for GBA games. They have covers that will fit in the old DS game cases for them, and those DS cases had slots for the GBA games.

[@edwingeisslerjr.6371]

Have found many rare finds at the thrift. A Mickey Mantle autographed baseball in a bag of balls, a sealed calculator that was worth hundreds, vintage Altec speakers worth over 500, a Casio watch that tracked Haley’s comet worth a lot. Video game wise I found a collection of Sega CD’s I think they were from Japan and a couple were sealed, and a brand new NES open box but was mint.

[@Dynasty_VR]

My best Goodwill find was NCAA Basketball '10 for $2, turned it around for $60. Good finds are few and far between for me, mostly shovelware and Madden games 99% of the time

No where even close to that good of a find for me at the thrifts. But what comes to mind is finding XIII and MIB Alien Escape both on GameCube for $1 each. About$60 in value for those right now. I go a lot, but probably don’t put as much time into it as you do. Killer week of finds!
