Back when DVD started taking over, my dad liquidated his LaserDisc collection on the cheap because they were basically worthless at that point. I'd love to have all of those movies back.
My uncle threw away his laserdisc player and collection of laserdiscs when they moved, he still doesn't miss any of that junk. When you can watch it on TV without having to have a room full of discs, tapes, etc. he says he's fine without all that clutter.
I had it too, before it was FINALLY replaced on my 12th birthday by........ ....another cheap Vivitar camera. And it didn't take video like the other one did. I had a lot of fun with it though.
I also have one of those sitting around somewhere, but I'm not sure where the cable is. If I ever find it I guess I'll send it to LGR lol. Also can't find the photos i took with it, but I found some samples that are pretty indicative of the "quality" www.emtech.net/tutorials/vivitar_tutorial/SamplePhotos.html some of the ones in low light had a weird ghosted effect on the image too that almost looked like a circuit board overlay or something. It's hard to describe.
Your camera glasses died the exact moment your reflection came up on that mirror at 14:24. In doing so, you caused your camera to gain self-awareness, it got confused, and then it killed itself, knowing its whole life had been a lie.
13:18 The grey convertible in the middle. I had a red one exactly like that one growing up with a big Chrysler emblem on the hood. Same wheels, everything. :)
Rest in Peace recording glasses, your service shall not be forgotten for you have seen many wonderous things over the years. Will be difficult to replace them without feeling like something is missing in the next LGR Thrifts episode.
Aren't they all haunted? Man I don't know what it is, but that old design aesthetic creeps me out. I swear it would keen playing the same old foreboding song over and over even if you unplugged it.
"This summer... Clint Basinger is... LGR. Who is the casually dressed man in shorts and flip flops in a Goodwill near you? Why is he examining a calculator with such clear interest? Who is the man next to him with the toaster? Not all of these questions will be answered in: Lazy Game Reviews - Thriftageddon. Coming to a theatre near you this July."
LGR Or line up visits with people or different places (like museums) with interesting computery things or visiting headquarters or different important places. Just an idea.
The logistics wouldn't be that bad. You could rent a small van and just drive from place to place, and do livestreams with Super Chat enabled so your audience would reimburse all of your purchases and then some.
Holy crap! A CD-I for $4?! That is insane.To put it into perspective, I paid $200 for my CD-I. Even if it didn't include the video cartridge, that is a beyond amazing deal. The CD-I is an incredibly underrated console in my opinion. There are a some hidden gems on it. Whenever I live stream CD-I games people are always blown away at the quality of some of the titles. Don't get me wrong, there are some bad ones as well, but a decent amount of good stuff. Anyway man, great video as usual. My gf and I love watching the thrifting episodes together.
I recently came across one with cables, a controller (not the remote thing), a game and 2 instruction discs aswell (one was for another model) and it set me back €5,-. I'm pretty sure the controller is busted though, but the device itself runs fine. I've tried looking online for what they're valued at, but I think they are more common over here in Europe, since I never saw them offered for anywhere close to that amount you paid for it.
when that viewer find image of carmageddon + the splat pack and carmageddon 2 flashed on screen i straight up said "oh shit!!" out loud. props to whoever snagged those lol
I once, in a Salvation Army came across a pioneer CLD-502 player for $20. since it was so cheap I snagged it anyways. to my amazement, it worked completely and made no extra noises or weirdness.
neil pence I buy Laserdisc players whenever I come across them. Found a CLD-M90 a few days ago, but the mechanism that opens the disk drive was broken :/ Definitely try to find Laserdisc stuff whenever you can though, I’ve found two or three Pioneer LD players for a few bucks and sold them on eBay for a nice profit!
These stores alone are a reason to move to the us, we don't have anything like these here in Germany. That junk store was so amazing, all that old hifi stuff and what not, so amazing.
Pioneer LaserDisc player brand new in the box. Me: Buy it, dude! $700 Me: Don't buy it, dude! Comes with over 500 LaserDisc products, some sealed Me: Maybe buy it, dude! That's one of those things that's hard to put a price on. Having that kind of collection of New(ish) LaserDisc products including the player itself. I would have stood there and stared at it until someone asked me to leave just trying to decide on whether I should get it or not.
From what I understand, things like E.T. had two laserdisc versions, and if you don't know your data ahead of time, it'll be difficult to tell which version is the more valuable one ... or even how to tell the two apart. :-(
TheDarxide23 enters shops and sees the LaserDisc player A few minutes later the shop owner comes and says "Excuse me, sir, but I'll have to ask you to leave." TheDarxide23: Why? Shop Owner: You're DROOLING all over the product.
I absolutely love little shops like the last one. There was an antique store about 2 blocks away from my house growing up called Memory Lane Antiques, it was in an old 1940's era car dealership building owned by a local bookstore which occupied half of the building and leased the second half to the antique mall. The antique mall was such a chaotic space, the entrance area was packed full of piles of old stuff which belonged to the store operator, and when I say piles I literally mean PILES. This guy was a hoarder and just stacked stuff wherever. The rest of the mall though was rented out as stalls to local antique vendors and it was also quite chaotic. I loved it because you never knew what you would find buried amongst the clutter. About 4 years ago the owner of the bookstore retired, and the building which he owned had appreciated in value significantly so he sold it to fund his retirement meaning the antique mall had to vacate. I'm sure they had plenty of notice, the bookstore owner was a good guy who had a long relationship with the antique mall operator, but I have no clue how they got out of the space so fast. Just the front operator controlled space must have required a backhoe to clear out. I really miss that place.
4:32 OMG that old band saw just seemed to be sitting so lonely and humbly there; I hope that someone has bought it and given it a new home :) It is uncommon to find obsole & big size power tools at flea markets/discount shops in my country.
Love these videos. Best thing I've ever found was a set of Monster S-video cables for Gamecube that work for SNES and N64 as well for 5 bucks. Bought them on a whim, had no idea they were so expensive and I have since gotten so much use out of them playing those consoles on nice quality crts.
GET THE LASER DISC PLAYER!!! Holy crap, I'm glad I don't know where you go... I'd be even more poor than I am now. I got bit by the quadcopter/drone bug a couple of weeks ago.
That monitor is quite obviously just a tunerless TV set with a green phosphor CRT. There were tons of these made because black & white TVs were going out of style in the late '70s/early '80s, so the manufacturers realized they could make a quick buck by repurposing them as computer monitors with minimal effort needed.
Half the time I honestly have no idea what you are talking about but I really enjoy listening to your voice and I appreciate your enthusiasm so much, and this was really fun. Especially that banana.
Man that Philips CDi player! My father bought me the same exact model when I was 8 years old (I am 33 now). I could either have the CDi or a 486 PC, too bad back then I choose the CDi player. My father spent a crap load of money to get that piece of junk along with games. I also remember that in the rear it has a slot to put an MPEG decoder card (very expensive optional that we never bought) to play Video CDs! My unit in particular is broken, it starded struggling reading burned CD-R, never really been able ro read CD-RW and then it stopped reading any CD all toghether. I tried to clean its pickup lens but with no luck. Anyway it had some popularity here in Bologna (Italy) in the first 90's. Glad to see you got one :)
7:30 I used to have a Learning Company game called Fourth Grade Adventures. We used to play it in school, and I bought it at the "AR Store" that would come to our school library once or twice a year with my reading points so I could play it at home. I've been looking for a copy at a thrift store for years.
That shop at 10:30 reminds me of a couple downy by where I am. The reason for the unsorted sections (as far as I can guess) is because there are 7-8 different people who own the product on the shelves. Sales are tracked and pay given to the owners. Basically room mates for storefronts! When something comes from case A, it's case A's owner who's responsible for it. As a result they don't stack case A, C, and F's model cars on the same shelf.
Hey there. I'm actually from Brazil, and the only way to get good old tech is on "Junk Stores", here everything in an "organized shop" just have ASTRONOMICAL prices. The only way to get something for a decent price is to get dirty, litteraly, picking up decades of dust to find a hidden treasure.
The Slimline Speedway! I used to play that little game on long, boring-ass road trips to Amish Country when I was a kid. A great way to kill some time! Thanks for the memories!
I have followed your channel for years now but never clicked any thrift episode. Didnt see any poin in watching u go around stores... lol. But one rainy day i was too bored... so i checked it out and OMG was i wrong. After first episode i binge them all and since have been waiting for a fresh one! Thank you for this awesome entertainment u offer to us with ur channel. Hail To The Thrifts, Baby!
beyond burntsn0w an image considered to be the first was taken in the 1820s, 1826 i think. look it up, and imagine that in color. yeah. trust me, i have one
Living vicariously through you in these episodes makes me so happy, man if I had 1/10th of these things to look at over here I'd be in heaven most days!
This was "recommended" by RUclips and in two days I've binged them all. Love the channel!! so much nostalgia. Loved your unboxing of the new IBM AT. We don't have huge thrift stores in the UK I guess we call them Charity shops. Think i'm definitely going to start popping in see whats what.
I LOVE going to thrift shops and admiring what others throw away. Especially Goodwill. Sometimes, you find diamonds! Most of the time, though, it isn't. One man's trash/junk is another man's treasure! 🙂
I keep hoping that will happen at my local Volunteers of America...I have bought a Ti-99/4a, a C-64c and a TRS-80 there over the last few years for $4.94 because they thought they were keyboards!
17:11 That antena switch is for ham radio. You can use it to tune your effective antenna length to frequency you're transmitting on with your radio to basically get the most bang for your watt.
I saw that X10 timer you found at a thrift store called Open Arms (think they were Methodist related) for a whole 2 dollars! You inspired me to go thrifting the last few days. America's Thrift Store yielded quite a few PC games stuck in the audio cd's and Sierra's Hoyle Casino stuck in the board games!
The Philips CDi was my favorite find this time around. Great video as always. Also, because you asked. Kimball was a USA company from Jasper, Indiana; established in 1950.
I love your thrifting videos. My fiance buys and refurbishes old things (furniture etc) and we spend a lot of time in Goodwill etc. So I really appreciate you posting these; they make me warm in fuzzy inside because I also used to thrift with my dad when I was a kid.
That Pioneer video disc with all the discs is the first thing I’ve seen from your eclectic tastes that I could see myself buying. It’s not so much for the tech of the video disc player as for the insight into the apparently mint collection of discs. I could foresee an important research weekend whilst wearing ridiculously wide shirt collars and drinking period appropriate cocktails. I bet its gone when you return. Cool new place though, well spotted.
Yes! A new thriftin video:) I always love these...it's just a little adventure down the nostalgia road that makes me happy. However that sword at Goodwill looks like a standard cheap fantasy wallhanger, definitely not worth a hundred bucks:)
W.W. Kimball was a moderately priced (and medium quality) piano manufacturer that was very popular - especially in the Midwest - up until about 1960. Even though I live in New York State where Steinway's higher end pianos are much more popular , I have seen a Kimball from time to time and there are still piano restoring companies that specialize in restoring them.
Here in Latvia we have tons of small junk shops but they mostly serves as lone shops, you bring something , they give you money if you cant buy back thing you gave them than they put it on display and sell it. But they buy for cheap and put on not so good / reasonable price later. PS sorry for my english !
As a LaserDisc collector I would have loved digging in that junk store. I have a bunch of Japanese LaserDiscs from when I lived in Japan, but almost no English discs. That Tron disc looked great and that CLD D701 certainly looked interesting. You found some neat stuff.
that sword was one my dad owned, i do not know if it was massproduced but it was a set of two, that should have a twin flowing about. it had a wooden back plate to hang it on you wall as it was sharpened to the point of cutting into our wooden floor when put down tip first. i never thought i would see that sword aging in my life
I used to own SO MUCH of the stuff that you find on these thrift-store trips. Why the hell did I sell it all?! Or worse -- some of it I tossed out!! In the garbage!!! Because no one wanted it!!! Who'da thunk retro gaming would *ever* be a thing?! Who'da thunk you'd ever want to play old games again on old hardware... Ahhhhh!!! Oh well...
My Mom threw away a ton of Comics when I was a Kid. Blondie, Hulk #3. A bunch of 5 and 10 Cent comics. The would be worth either thousand or maybe even millions now.
I amassed a large collection of vintage games while going to yard sales and flea markets from late 90s to mid 00s, but when our first kid was born, my wife nagged me into getting rid of a large chunk of it. Back then it was pretty much worthless, so I offloaded thousands of games and systems for virtually nothing, and junked the stuff I couldn't sell, like big-box computer games... Some of the stuff I got rid of was really obscure too, like Fairchild Channel F, Bally Astrocade, CDI with a ton of boxed games, and Atari Jaguar with many games that today hold the "Holy Grail" status, like Towers II and SkyHammer. SO much regret!
Man, that Laserdisc collection looks mindblowing. I have been collecting on and off for years and I have never seen a collection that nice in one place ever. That CDI...I have not seen one of those in 10 years or more. Awe inspiring episode!

As of 4 years later, the burger Gods have been set on keeping this video under a million
At three quarters of a million now, though!
6 years later and nope
that junk shop looks like one of those flash games where u have to find a list of things in a messy room
Or for a person like me, the house portion of Finder's Keepers.
That's what, like, all shops looked like 1900-2000 until the corps took over.
The genre is usually referred to as "Hidden Object Game," which has led to a lot of HOG jokes between my wife and I :D
crimson room from albino blacksheep days?
All of newgrounds be like
LGR Thrifts EP. 1: "I've heard of people finding like a Phillips CD-i in here, but that's insanely rare"
Full circle, Clint.
I found one before, it was missing the actual DVD drive though.
@SteelRodent the tray loader.
Reminds me of a place I visited frequently in my youth simply named Stuff, whose slogan was "nothing you need, everything you want." Good times.
I love Clint to death, but it's hilarious how he can identify computer stuff from the first look, but he doesn't even know what a bandsaw is lmao
Depends on what your passionate about. I can name multiple barbie dolls/sets from a single accessory! And yet i know nothing about computers :P
well if he doesn't machine why should he know what a bandsaw is?
Clint...GO GET THAT LASERDISC COLLECTION! That is a once in a lifetime find
I'd go buy that today if I knew where it was!
I've been collecting laserdiscs myself but I don't even have the player yet lol still hoping to find a working one at goodwill or swap meet.
Buy it and break down the library to sell duplicates. on sealed duplicates alone he can make his money back.
Back when DVD started taking over, my dad liquidated his LaserDisc collection on the cheap because they were basically worthless at that point. I'd love to have all of those movies back.
My uncle threw away his laserdisc player and collection of laserdiscs when they moved, he still doesn't miss any of that junk. When you can watch it on TV without having to have a room full of discs, tapes, etc. he says he's fine without all that clutter.
Well, Clint, it took you 4 years and nearly 40 episodes, but you finally found that CD-i!
Did you think we forgot episode one?
I had that cheap Vivitar camera. When the batteries run out, the pictures get erased!
Fantastic.
I had it too, before it was FINALLY replaced on my 12th birthday by........
....another cheap Vivitar camera. And it didn't take video like the other one did.
I had a lot of fun with it though.
I remember seeing these new in my cheap electronic store.
New they were sold for 13 €
Heh. I got an even cheaper one at retail, that supposedly could also be used as a webcam....it was complete crap, to be honest.
I also have one of those sitting around somewhere, but I'm not sure where the cable is. If I ever find it I guess I'll send it to LGR lol.
Also can't find the photos i took with it, but I found some samples that are pretty indicative of the "quality" www.emtech.net/tutorials/vivitar_tutorial/SamplePhotos.html
some of the ones in low light had a weird ghosted effect on the image too that almost looked like a circuit board overlay or something. It's hard to describe.
Your camera glasses died the exact moment your reflection came up on that mirror at 14:24.
In doing so, you caused your camera to gain self-awareness, it got confused, and then it killed itself, knowing its whole life had been a lie.
lmao ‘watergate paper shredder’
Get this video to 1,000,000 views. Prove the burger sources wrong.
JD Harding Could be a veggie burger, or a turkey burger.
If it's a veggie burger, it *deserves* to be proven wrong. :-P
Halfway there
@@55super55 whoaa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Halfway there!
GET THAT LASER DISK! Forgotten formats is such a cool part of your channel
That laser disc collection needs to go to the oddity archive.
Oh Hell Yes!
Thanks Clint. Never stop the LGR.
13:18 The grey convertible in the middle. I had a red one exactly like that one growing up with a big Chrysler emblem on the hood. Same wheels, everything. :)
That LaserDisc thingy would be something for Techmoan or so. Quite a large collection for 750$
Plus he could have haggle for like $600 I bet
Worth more than $700
Worth way more I would think, all the disks looked new, or at least like new.
Rest in Peace recording glasses, your service shall not be forgotten for you have seen many wonderous things over the years. Will be difficult to replace them without feeling like something is missing in the next LGR Thrifts episode.
Go grab that laser disc load. Did Leland Gaunt work at that junk shop? Thanks.
+1 on the laser disk. Try to talk them down to like 500 bucks on it.
I wish i found such a box and player
Go get it!
500 laser disc products would be well worth the $750 alone. Didn't know you could get porn on that format. That would have been interesting, haha.
Its a steal. What, $1 a disc for a sealed laserdisc
Two years later, and the magic burger has yet to fail us.
Im pretty sure they thought the CDi was a cd player
It technically is
Well, it sorta is
Can't blame them, can ya'?
13:43 my Parents inherited one of these from my grandparents! As a child I was amazed that it played current radio stations, not just vintage songs.
Lol childhood ignorance is just amazing.
How cute!
Only the haunted ones do that!
Aren't they all haunted? Man I don't know what it is, but that old design aesthetic creeps me out. I swear it would keen playing the same old foreboding song over and over even if you unplugged it.
idea: go thrifting on tour across the united states. now THAT would be something.
"This summer... Clint Basinger is... LGR. Who is the casually dressed man in shorts and flip flops in a Goodwill near you? Why is he examining a calculator with such clear interest? Who is the man next to him with the toaster? Not all of these questions will be answered in: Lazy Game Reviews - Thriftageddon. Coming to a theatre near you this July."
I'd love to if I could find the time required, but it would mean discontinuing everything else on LGR to make it happen.
LGR Or line up visits with people or different places (like museums) with interesting computery things or visiting headquarters or different important places. Just an idea.
The logistics wouldn't be that bad. You could rent a small van and just drive from place to place, and do livestreams with Super Chat enabled so your audience would reimburse all of your purchases and then some.
actually sounds like a pretty good idea. And you could do a few episodes of other stuff like oddware maybe
Holy crap! A CD-I for $4?! That is insane.To put it into perspective, I paid $200 for my CD-I. Even if it didn't include the video cartridge, that is a beyond amazing deal.

Zelda CD-I *shivers*
You would be surprised at what people toss out, got an NES and a PS2 both Fully Working at my Goodwill for $4.99 each
I recently came across one with cables, a controller (not the remote thing), a game and 2 instruction discs aswell (one was for another model) and it set me back €5,-. I'm pretty sure the controller is busted though, but the device itself runs fine.

You will regret not getting that Laserdisc set. Buy it! For us...
no
Nothing better than some LGR in the evening
Real1Gaming . You got that right!!!
Really picked up the Friday afternoon viewin' on RUclips for me.
I would totally go back and buy that Laserdisk player and all those lovely laser disks.
Anne Peck there’s a sucker born every minute. Who can blame them for charging $750 lol
Tron on laserdisc makes it worth it
Sadly laserdiscs are prone to get disc rot...
I once, in a Salvation Army came across a pioneer CLD-502 player for $20. since it was so cheap I snagged it anyways. to my amazement, it worked completely and made no extra noises or weirdness.

Whenever I'm mentally exausted I came to view these old Thrifts videos this makes me more relaxed for some reason
Subscriber for about a year now, didn't even realize you had this series going. New favorite show on youtube.
2:33 Dude! that's Peewee's bike without the crazy upgrades!

Pretty sure that Junk Store is where I'll go when I die. It's amazing and definitely Heaven for me 😂 lol
Dude same, adhd heaven

10:22 - "Watergate" paper shredder. Absolute gold, i tell ya. They have a great sense of humor I'm sure.
That shop at 10:30 reminds me of a couple downy by where I am.

As a result they don't stack case A, C, and F's model cars on the same shelf.
Hey there. I'm actually from Brazil, and the only way to get good old tech is on "Junk Stores", here everything in an "organized shop" just have ASTRONOMICAL prices. The only way to get something for a decent price is to get dirty, litteraly, picking up decades of dust to find a hidden treasure.
You must purchase that laserdisc collection. That's why you found that shop. It's kismet, or some crap.
Thrift is Life.
The Slimline Speedway! I used to play that little game on long, boring-ass road trips to Amish Country when I was a kid. A great way to kill some time! Thanks for the memories!
I have followed your channel for years now but never clicked any thrift episode. Didnt see any poin in watching u go around stores... lol.
But one rainy day i was too bored... so i checked it out and OMG was i wrong. After first episode i binge them all and since have been waiting for a fresh one! Thank you for this awesome entertainment u offer to us with ur channel.
Hail To The Thrifts, Baby!
@3:00 It's for Metal Jesus, right? He's trying to build a full Sierra game collection.
>enter a new store
>camera glasses die
It's cursed
_You don't pay with regular money... you pay with _*_*your soul*_*
Hey man a junk shop that is so overfilled like that, something has to be cursed.

I'd like to see the image quality on the vivitar camera
beyond burntsn0w an image considered to be the first was taken in the 1820s, 1826 i think. look it up, and imagine that in color. yeah.
trust me, i have one
Living vicariously through you in these episodes makes me so happy, man if I had 1/10th of these things to look at over here I'd be in heaven most days!
This was "recommended" by RUclips and in two days I've binged them all. Love the channel!! so much nostalgia. Loved your unboxing of the new IBM AT. We don't have huge thrift stores in the UK I guess we call them Charity shops. Think i'm definitely going to start popping in see whats what.
I have such a crush on Clint
MrBowser He's so frickin cute!
Even DUKE NUKEM enjoys junk shops

God dam it buy the laser disk. You tease
I LOVE going to thrift shops and admiring what others throw away. Especially Goodwill. Sometimes, you find diamonds! Most of the time, though, it isn't. One man's trash/junk is another man's treasure! 🙂
13:30 We had two of those when I was growing up. My parents eventually got rid of them for pretty much the same reasons given here.
A CDI for 4 bucks?! OMG! You were so lucky.!
Dragonfire511 Clearly whoever priced it thought it was just a DVD player hahaha
Oh that could be the reason. haha
I keep hoping that will happen at my local Volunteers of America...I have bought a Ti-99/4a, a C-64c and a TRS-80 there over the last few years for $4.94 because they thought they were keyboards!
never lose hope
You missed the Heckler and Koch USP magazine at 13:11 $45 is a halfway decent price
The comment I was looking for lol. If it's still there, it's a steal.
That last junk shop would be my undoing. 👍
17:11 That antena switch is for ham radio. You can use it to tune your effective antenna length to frequency you're transmitting on with your radio to basically get the most bang for your watt.
I saw that X10 timer you found at a thrift store called Open Arms (think they were Methodist related) for a whole 2 dollars! You inspired me to go thrifting the last few days. America's Thrift Store yielded quite a few PC games stuck in the audio cd's and Sierra's Hoyle Casino stuck in the board games!
That junk shop is a freakin GOLD MINE! I could lose myself in a place like that for DAYS!
Love your series bro
Thank you!
Fuckin ey! I used to love watching your content man!
Get that LaserDisc collection! I'd know Techmoan would be envious.
Letter 10 Gaming also 8bitguy
Also me
Always love all the old stuff people get rid of, thrift stores are like the community attic. Keep up the great videos!
First thrift video I've watched of yours and now I have to go back and watch all of them! Loved it. I wish we had stores like that where I live.
Great! Some thing to watch while my mom does bank things!!!
omg Clint, get that laser disk collection!
If a cheapo craftsman bandsaw is steampunk, I wonder what you'd think of some of my stuff lol.
kids these days confusing their Retro-futurism genres
The Philips CDi was my favorite find this time around. Great video as always.
Also, because you asked.
Kimball was a USA company from Jasper, Indiana; established in 1950.
I love your thrifting videos. My fiance buys and refurbishes old things (furniture etc) and we spend a lot of time in Goodwill etc. So I really appreciate you posting these; they make me warm in fuzzy inside because I also used to thrift with my dad when I was a kid.
Watching again during lockdown. Love it.
That Pioneer video disc with all the discs is the first thing I’ve seen from your eclectic tastes that I could see myself buying. It’s not so much for the tech of the video disc player as for the insight into the apparently mint collection of discs. I could foresee an important research weekend whilst wearing ridiculously wide shirt collars and drinking period appropriate cocktails. I bet its gone when you return. Cool new place though, well spotted.
Yes! A new thriftin video:) I always love these...it's just a little adventure down the nostalgia road that makes me happy.
However that sword at Goodwill looks like a standard cheap fantasy wallhanger, definitely not worth a hundred bucks:)
oh man if you can afford it grab that laserdisc collection that looks amazing
You do live in the WNC area! That's awesome. That shop @ 11:03 used to be an antique/estate sales kinda place.
W.W. Kimball was a moderately priced (and medium quality) piano manufacturer that was very popular - especially in the Midwest - up until about 1960. Even though I live in New York State where Steinway's higher end pianos are much more popular , I have seen a Kimball from time to time and there are still piano restoring companies that specialize in restoring them.
Nice haul. Love old electronic thrifts.
I would've gotten that Skyrider bicycle in a heartbeat. That thing has to be from like the 50-60s and it's in such good condition.
Wish there were stores like this here. There's like one junk store here. Rest are regular thrift stores.
Here in Latvia we have tons of small junk shops but they mostly serves as lone shops, you bring something , they give you money if you cant buy back thing you gave them than they put it on display and sell it. But they buy for cheap and put on not so good / reasonable price later. PS sorry for my english !
Those are called pawn shops in the US.
I wonder if they will all be swallowed up my "progress" eventually. :( I don't know how they can stay open, but I want to know their secrets.
As a LaserDisc collector I would have loved digging in that junk store. I have a bunch of Japanese LaserDiscs from when I lived in Japan, but almost no English discs. That Tron disc looked great and that CLD D701 certainly looked interesting. You found some neat stuff.
that sword was one my dad owned, i do not know if it was massproduced but it was a set of two, that should have a twin flowing about. it had a wooden back plate to hang it on you wall as it was sharpened to the point of cutting into our wooden floor when put down tip first. i never thought i would see that sword aging in my life
Love the 8008135 calculator.
Clint, you need the laserdisc player.
I used to own SO MUCH of the stuff that you find on these thrift-store trips. Why the hell did I sell it all?! Or worse -- some of it I tossed out!! In the garbage!!! Because no one wanted it!!! Who'da thunk retro gaming would *ever* be a thing?! Who'da thunk you'd ever want to play old games again on old hardware... Ahhhhh!!! Oh well...
My Mom threw away a ton of Comics when I was a Kid. Blondie, Hulk #3. A bunch of 5 and 10 Cent comics. The would be worth either thousand or maybe even millions now.
I amassed a large collection of vintage games while going to yard sales and flea markets from late 90s to mid 00s, but when our first kid was born, my wife nagged me into getting rid of a large chunk of it. Back then it was pretty much worthless, so I offloaded thousands of games and systems for virtually nothing, and junked the stuff I couldn't sell, like big-box computer games...
Some of the stuff I got rid of was really obscure too, like Fairchild Channel F, Bally Astrocade, CDI with a ton of boxed games, and Atari Jaguar with many games that today hold the "Holy Grail" status, like Towers II and SkyHammer.
SO much regret!
Man, that Laserdisc collection looks mindblowing. I have been collecting on and off for years and I have never seen a collection that nice in one place ever. That CDI...I have not seen one of those in 10 years or more.
Awe inspiring episode!
I can't quite explain why, but I really find these episodes extremely fun to watch.
