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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. :)
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.
"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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Yes! A cd-i! So jealous of that find, man! I've been watching this channel for years, and love every bit of it! Love all of your content, keep creating, please! You keep me entertained, enthused, and nostalgic!
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
I just want to say, I have really been enjoying your videos since discovering your channel a couple months ago. I think I stumbled upon it when looking up stuff on Duke Nukem 3D. Anyway, it's become one of my favorite channels. My dad worked with computers in the 90s, so I've always been around them, and so I really appreciate your hobby, and it brings me a lot of nostalgia. Keep up the good work!
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:)
I love all of the thrift episodes! Having major sleeping problems and always fall into sleep when I watch this, not because of bad Content its really intresting , but your voice is so soothing. So thanx for helping me sleep! ( i always rewatch the episode when i wake up in the morning) :)
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 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 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!
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.
This was an awesome episode! I saw so many things that I've owned or interacted with at times. I love that you got Nero 6. Remember that time period where it was such a commonly used product!?
It's not just your opinion. It is a terrible console, as a fact. I was desperate for one in the '90s. Thank goodness my mom didn't fall for that one. What a disaster it would have been.
Whenever I went into the downtown Columbus Lazarus store in the early-mid 90s to shop I'd see the thing being promoed in the electronics department. Wasn't too impressed by the thing.
Theodore, I found a Link - Faces of Evil jewel case complete with front insert in literally mint condition at my good will for $2! Probably my best find ever... now I just need to find a $4 CD-I to play it on lmao
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
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 :)
Absolutely love thrift stores. I recently found a 5 bay synology nas. My usual find is vintage cameras or teddy bears. Even found an g4 imac once. The people thought it was a computer monitor so I got it for $10.

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?
GET THAT LASER DISK! Forgotten formats is such a cool part of your channel
Thanks Clint. Never stop the LGR.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. 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.
arcadeportal32 Not in this decade, you didn’t lol.
*NICE OF THE PRINCESS TO INVITE US OVER FOR A PICNIC, EEY LUIGI?*
lmao ‘watergate paper shredder’
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
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!
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.
That laser disc collection needs to go to the oddity archive.
Oh Hell Yes!
Most companies: "We don't have budget for Acrobat Pro"
"but......it's $5!!!!"
Im pretty sure they thought the CDi was a cd player
It technically is
Well, it sorta is
Can't blame them, can ya'?
That LaserDisc thingy would be something for Techmoan or so. Quite a large collection for 750$
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.
Get that laserdisc collection!!
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.
Two years later, and the magic burger has yet to fail us.
Whenever I'm mentally exausted I came to view these old Thrifts videos this makes me more relaxed for some reason
get. that. laserdisc!
onedeadsaint he has to! Thats such an amazing deal!
I mean... yeah^
GET IT!
It's a great investment! Do it Clint do it!
second this, buy laserdisc player!!
Nothing better than some LGR in the evening
Real1Gaming . You got that right!!!
Really picked up the Friday afternoon viewin' on RUclips for me.
You will regret not getting that Laserdisc set. Buy it! For us...
no
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. :)
YOU NEED THE LASER DISK SET your the best home for those poor things...
get the laser disk system
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.
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
Subscriber for about a year now, didn't even realize you had this series going. New favorite show on youtube.
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
2:33 Dude! that's Peewee's bike without the crazy upgrades!
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.

You must purchase that laserdisc collection. That's why you found that shop. It's kismet, or some crap.

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.
Holy fucking Laser Disc.
That was one steep price tag, but whoever picks up that would probably be continuing the collection of a lifetime.
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!

God dam it buy the laser disk. You tease

Dragonfire511 Clearly whoever priced it thought it was just a DVD player hahaha
Oh that could be the reason. haha

Also me
I have such a crush on Clint
MrBowser He's so frickin cute!
Nice haul. Love old electronic thrifts.

I’ve missed this series so much! I’m so glad it’s here!!!!
@3:00 It's for Metal Jesus, right? He's trying to build a full Sierra game collection.
omg Clint, get that laser disk collection!
Love the 8008135 calculator.
10:22 - "Watergate" paper shredder. Absolute gold, i tell ya. They have a great sense of humor I'm sure.
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! 🙂
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
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.
That last junk shop would be my undoing. 👍
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.
You missed a lot of ham radio stuff that's worth a ton of money, but that hobby is on another whole level of nerdiness. Great video!
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!
oh man if you can afford it grab that laserdisc collection that looks amazing
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.
This was an awesome episode! I saw so many things that I've owned or interacted with at times. I love that you got Nero 6. Remember that time period where it was such a commonly used product!?
This is the first episode I have seen from the Thrift Series. Great stuff. Subscribed.
Man! A CD-i for 4$! The console kind of sucks in my opinion... but 4$!! 4!
It'd just be his luck if he fires up the CD-I and discovers a copy of Zelda Adventure in the drive :)
The CD-i is a really good part of the failures of video game hardware history.
It's not just your opinion. It is a terrible console, as a fact. I was desperate for one in the '90s. Thank goodness my mom didn't fall for that one. What a disaster it would have been.
Whenever I went into the downtown Columbus Lazarus store in the early-mid 90s to shop I'd see the thing being promoed in the electronics department. Wasn't too impressed by the thing.
Theodore, I found a Link - Faces of Evil jewel case complete with front insert in literally mint condition at my good will for $2! Probably my best find ever... now I just need to find a $4 CD-I to play it on lmao
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
Great! Some thing to watch while my mom does bank things!!!
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.
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 :)
Love your series bro
Thank you!
Fuckin ey! I used to love watching your content man!
I could spend the rest of my life in that junk shop.
but then you would become the junk

Absolutely love thrift stores. I recently found a 5 bay synology nas. My usual find is vintage cameras or teddy bears. Even found an g4 imac once. The people thought it was a computer monitor so I got it for $10.
Since we don´t have Thrift-Stores in our country (afaik), I enjoy your videos twice as much! Keep on thrifting, it´s awesome!
