I remember like even 4 or 5 years ago you could find all sorts of old video games and good action figures at the local Goodwills and Unique chains.
Then slowly the whole "retro" wave started gaining huge traction and anything with recognizable branding like Nintendo, Star Wars, He-Man, Pokemon, would get searched up on ebay by the staff there and the deals became impossible to find.
Unique is now an overpriced barren wasteland, I'm lucky to ever find anything there anymore for a bargain. They now charge like 5 bucks per Atari game when 3-4 years ago I bought an entire backpack full of em for 20 bucks.
Goodwills around here suck ass because they throw away anything that does not come in the original packaging. I heard it's because they dont want to get sued over someone buying a toy with lead paint or other hazardous shit.
I envy the anons who still have good thrift stores, Im left with waiting until the warm monthes and only having garage and yard sales.
