It's been brought to my attention that the dinosaur painting is not Petrie from the Land Before Time but a character from a show called Dinosaur Train. I really thought Petrie was green but I just looked and he's Brown. It's been decades since I've seen Land Before Time though. Sorry for the mistake!
A few people on my Facebook friends list are posting them seeing arcade machines for sale in Goodwill now, Not the Arcade1up ones, but actual '80s machines. Though they're asking ridiculous money for them, $1500 for a Turbo OutRun Etc. But get Google Translate for your phone dude, it translates anything you hold the camera up to in real time, so you can read it augmented reality stylee :D
Larry, did you saw that the Franklin spell-checker you may saw early (1:29) looked a ton(ne) like a Sinclair (Timex in US) microcomputer from the '80s?
7:00 That might be controls for a TENS massage unit. Back in the day, they were so expensive and required bulky control boxes like these. I used to see them all the time at a Japanese specialty store growing up. But hey, they worked then as they do today although today they’re not as bulky or as expensive.
There's a good chance the sleepless in Seattle mug is actually from the SeaTac airport. We've been hanging on to that movie as a tourist gimmick for far too long
I used to have one of those franklin spell checkers when I was little. I used to think I was so cool bringing that to school. Other kids had dictionaries, I had my franklin.
Babylon 5 is a top flight show. It has many themes that still ring true over 20 some odd years later. Though there are rough patches early in the first season. Also note that season 4 will feel like the main story was rushed. It was since there was uncertainty about getting a final season order from the network. So J. Michael Straczinski made sure that at least the main story had a conclusion.
Babylon 5 is excellent! All 5 seasons were written by J. Michael Straczynski before he even sold the show. So it has a complete storyline without compromises. The first season is really 90s, complete with a Zima neon sign, but the rest of the series makes up for it.
Wife and I are currently watching it. She has never seen it before. About half way through season one and she is getting into it and xhit has not even begun to pave the way let alone pay off.
Babylon 5, you owe yourself a full watch through of it. The first season will be the hardest to get through graphicly and acting wise but after that....hands down some of the best plot and characters ever. The new Battlestar galatica is the only SCI FI TV series that comes close which is another one you should watch if you haven't already. Technically you can skip the first season but you'll miss out on character and plot setup that play out at the end of the series.
I’m just jealous of a Goodwill with a VHS section, most I get to nowadays don’t bother with them. Luckily local places got me covered: found some weird stuff like a Korean LG head cleaner with a funky sleeve and a copy of Mouse and the Motorcycle seen previously on RA Thrifting. Plus 2 VHS drawers like the cassette one here. Ironically enough I also saw what I believe was a complete collection of Babylon 5 on VHS, but I was moving soon and couldn’t grab it. Never seen the series though, probably one I should check out myself.
Man I am sitting here binge watching your videos ‼️I love them, hits home too because I grew up in East Mesa Az, surprised I didnt see you around at school but I think you're older than me. I went to the Bashas Plaza a lot on Brown and Higley growing up.
Seeing stores like these makes me want to clear out my closets. We as a species in modern places have so much “stuff” that we probably don’t need. I tend to be relatively minimal, and I still have a whole lot of things in my closets that have built up over the years. Things that I’d hate to just throw away, but also have enough value that I’d rather not just drop them off at a Goodwill. But selling it all piecemeal would take forever. Especially if it also involved shipping. One interesting note on this video though. My school also had Bill Nye videos we’d watch in my science class in high school. Being a visual learner, I picked up a lot more from those than I did books.
There's some merit to buying the tapes for preservation purposes because, as Erik guessed, those were NOT available for retail purchase back in the day! Most of the copies that were bought have probably been junked or disappeared into a library by now...
That episode of Bill Nye was circa 1993. I'm old enough to remember Graham Kerr during his Galloping Gourmet series. Cannot remember if Graham even dared to reintroduce the copious amounts of clarified butter though.
The “fire resistant” marking on the box is there cuz not so long before that toy was made, a lot of toys were made of celluloid: a very flammable plastic.
7:00 That's an "electromagnetic" healing machine, some sort of pads with coils placed inside are supposed to attach to the power output (imagine an electronic blood pressure monitor). If you place the pads on your body where it needs healing, mainly for muscle strains or pinched nerves, then you'll benefit from the "electromagnetic field" generated by the machine. In other words, you're placing some padded heater coils on your body.
That medical device says something along the lines of "Field effect therapy device" on the front and "Produced by Beijing (something) technology development co. ltd, made by the institute of traditional chinese medicine in Tianshui City, Gansu province" on the back
I'm a latchkey Gen X'er(born '66)and it's amazing to see any 70's You are lucky that wasn't an original old phone..would have knocked you out they were so heavy! If that is White-Out, you should be able to scratch it off with your fingernail or use nail polish remover; WD40; rubbing alcohol.
Wow, that "Return to Zork" clip (Want some rye>? Course you do) unlocked some memories. Its always nice haring your commentary on older electronics and thrift store finds. You have a lot of knowledge, thanks for sharing it with us!
Oh, I kind of wish Value Village (Savers' branding in Canada) had those self checkouts. I was in a Value Village just this evening and might have picked up a couple of CDs and a DVD had the line-up for the two open checkouts not been a mile long.
I actually had the same Labtec speakers (with the green logo) back in 1996. They were so crap and every time you changed the volume it sounded like an FM radio channel tuner
Late to the party with this one, but I’m certain the red phone you found in the toy section is an old phone from Target. Those look like the phones up at Guest Services and the Garden Center (when target had those RIP)
My copy of Return to Zork came bundled with my SoundBlaster sound card/CD-ROM kit which also included the speakers you found moments later (although with SB branding).
About Babylon 5, My husband and I are fans of the show and love it. What made Babylon 5 different from Star Wars and Star Trek is that it was like the United Nations in space. Lots of mystery, intrigue and well developed characters. J. Michael Straczynski created the show and I do believe wrote all the episodes for all five seasons. Fun Fact: Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov from Star Trek) played a recurring character in Babylon 5 name Alfred Bester. If you are looking to check it out, I do believe the episodes are on Hulu (don't quote me on that as I am not exactly sure). Some clips of the episodes are also on RUclips.
They did do a "remastered" release on the Amazon stream service I think, but that's not enough god damn it - still waiting for that proper bluray release. A fun fact also is that Alfred Bester was the name of a highly appreciated scifi author.
Fun Fact: while both stores accept direct donations, the majority of Savers merchandise is purchased bulk from smaller charities that don't have storefronts, such as Boys & Girls Club, Candlelighters, and others, which is then sorted and resold.
Savers will also frequently accept corporate donations from stores like Target. Basically, if Target doesn't have enough of a discontinued item to sell to someone like Big Lots or Five Below, they will just donate it to Savers for the write-off.
i mean it’s not really a secret that bill nye was part of disney productions, and it never has been. it literally says “disney presents” in the title sequence.
The Savers I occasionally go to has the self checkouts. In fact, that's all they have. No manned registers. Some of the self checkouts accept cash but most of them are card only.
I lived in Seattle. for a good 15 years after Sleepless in Seattle, you'd always see shirts and cups with the movie logo on it. Not sure all of it was licensed or not. I mean, it might still be being sold too. *edit* I see someone already mentioned that.
Babylon 5 is worth a look. More interesting is the Suan Ivanova/Claudia Christian action figure. The actress was fired from the show after the fourth season, but she appears in the series finale since it was shot before the fifth season -- if that makes sense. What ruined Babylon 5 was long bye months between new shows over long seasons and then a shift to being a TNT-only program at a time when cable was still a big splurge at a lot of households.
Multiple comments stating this already but going to also throw in that you should most definitely watch Babylon 5! It was overshadowed by the (also incredibly great) Star Trek Deep Space 9 which came out around the same timeframe but it still has a dedicated fanbase for a reason though. I think it stands as one of the all-time greatest Sci-Fi shows and certainly puts the writing of modern Sci-Fi shows to shame, if nothing else.
I got that Franklin Spell Master as a Christmas gift way back in the day! If it is the same model as mine, it actually has a fun anagrams game built in!
Always check the CDs. I have found some gold in there. Including a few CDi games, had to sell them untested because I couldn't find a single person who still had a system.
Babylon 5 is absolutely excellent from a story perspective. Season 1 is a bit slow and odd, but it all ends up slotting together and making sense in the later seasons. The hardest part is not getting pulled out of suspension of disbelief by the low quality computer generated digital effects, which were bad even at the time it was first airing, leave alone now. But yeah, if you like sci-fi and good deep political intrigue in a well thought out story, you'll like Babylon 5, it's definitely worth a watch.
You really need to watch Babylon 5 its a classic sci-fi 90s show with a awesome story. The special effects were all computer generated dated now but still hold up!
I need to go thrifting with you. I’m a huge regular at a lot of Goodwills in my area, and Platos Closet just reopened last Thursday in my city. 99% of the time I shop for clothes in Goodwill.
I only knew about the Bill Nye show when it was on. Recently I watched an episode or two out of curiosity. I have to say that the editing style is way the opposite of my style. In terms on educational TV personalities, I much prefer Mr. Wizard. (Cue Epic Rap Battle?)
Babylon 5 is an excellent series which has a compelling five season story arc. I must be honest however that you need a bit of patience at the start. Start with the two hour pilot before watching season one, but understand that in the early episodes, the show was finding its legs. By mid season one, as some of the plot points start to click, the show will be a very good ride to its conclusion..Oh, and be kind to some of the not stellar special effects, as they were on a budget.
@Niklas S He had mental health issues. He told JS that it was getting worse but asked him to keep it secret. JS said he would take the secret to his grave. In response, Michael O'Hare said "take it to my grave." And JS did, he didn't reveal the reason why until after O'Hare passed away.
@Niklas S It was not as simple as that. The actor suffered from mental illness and it was mutually agreed that it was best for him to leave the show. Michael S. has the highest regard for the, now late, actor in question and kept in touch with him until the end. At one point in the series, he even returned to do a two part story that tied up some loose ends for the character.
@Niklas S You mean Michael O'Hare? The poor guy suffered from severe mental illness with paranoid delusions. Series creator Straczynski kept his condition a secret until O'Hare died.
@Niklas S People are so damn sensitive in this day and age. I did not call you any names. I did not curse you out or challenge you. All I did was expand on your original thought, so where is this thought of an “attack”coming from? Anyway, time to move on….
Lol no never heard of it. I thought Petrie was green but just saw that he's brown. I swore he was green but it's been decades since I saw Land Before Time.
It's pterie and Ducky's unsecret lovechild 😊 If you ever watched turning red then yeah that's an accurate representation of 2002. But it's perfectly all right for boys to like boy bands
It's been brought to my attention that the dinosaur painting is not Petrie from the Land Before Time but a character from a show called Dinosaur Train. I really thought Petrie was green but I just looked and he's Brown. It's been decades since I've seen Land Before Time though. Sorry for the mistake!
I just left a comment saying that lol I need to start reading the Pin Comments and the one that was Green was Ducky.
I thought it was Pterri from Pee-Wee's Playhouse. There have been way more pterodactyl characters than I'd imagined.
@@BradTheProducer I thought it was Pterri too 👍🏼
we got u, bruh.
That Japanese thing looks kinda like a component from a type of phototherapy machine called a superlizar.
Thrifting Time is such an underrated series. I wish you could make these every week!

@@Pugetwitch oh yeah, forgot about that!
SEATAC is great! ✈️ I spent about 3 weeks there over a few months summer 2012. I'd hope that 13 Coins spot is still there.
Awwwe that dinosaur train painting was for some kid's birthday :)
Something about eating my fast food in an old strip mall and watching this just hits the spot.
I used to have one of those franklin spell checkers when I was little. I used to think I was so cool bringing that to school. Other kids had dictionaries, I had my franklin.
That phone looks like one of the old Target Price Checker station phones.

I laugh at that sign when I rewatch for the umpteenth time.
@@vilkata__ hey, whatever it takes to get the show made
@@JohnKelly2 its a great product placement.
Wife and I are currently watching it. She has never seen it before. About half way through season one and she is getting into it and xhit has not even begun to pave the way let alone pay off.
Yes, when I still watched TV 📺 shows, I
watched every season of Babylon 5.
Thanks for the Thrift store video again
Hearing "Bill Nye the science guy!" gave me so nostalgia
All I could think about was "My Sex Junk"...
Dude!! You brought back some MEMORIES with that Return to Zork!!!
Babylon 5 was AWESOME! Characters were allowed to change and grow, unlike a typical Star Trek series.
3:00 Putt-Putt toys were quite popular with younger kids in the 70's. I never had them, but I remember the commercials.
Babylon 5, you owe yourself a full watch through of it. The first season will be the hardest to get through graphicly and acting wise but after that....hands down some of the best plot and characters ever.

YES! B5 is totally worth a watch! Amazing show.
At 8:57, that mug looks like a combo of Sleepless in Seattle and Frasier
Yay!!! Thrifting Time! My favorite ♥️
Well, I certainly wasn't expecting to see the Galloping Gourmet on Bill Nye!
Graham Kerr!! My Mom's favorite! I'm SO glad someone else caught this too.
Self-checkouts are the work of the devil lol! I truly enjoy your content thanks!
“I-I-It’s Nsync!”
“Word!” 😂
Man I am sitting here binge watching your videos ‼️I love them, hits home too because I grew up in East Mesa Az, surprised I didnt see you around at school but I think you're older than me. I went to the Bashas Plaza a lot on Brown and Higley growing up.
Self check-out is a thing at Value-Village here in Ontario Canada. No actual cashier, but one person stationed to watch over all the terminals.
Seeing stores like these makes me want to clear out my closets. We as a species in modern places have so much “stuff” that we probably don’t need. I tend to be relatively minimal, and I still have a whole lot of things in my closets that have built up over the years.

I LOVED when the teacher would have us watch Bill Nye the Science Guy. Takes me right back to being a kid in the 90s.
Oh man I would have bought all the Bill Nye VHS in a heartbeat. I LOVE Bill Nye so much lol.

Been waiting patiently for a new vid😁your commentary is the best part
I would have purchased every one of those Bill Nye vhs tapes. also, that is pretty cool Rolling Thunder NES poster you have there.

I never find anything cool while thrifting. A shame, but it’s cool watching these videos!
Yeah savers are doing more self checkouts now. My 2 local savers in Idaho have had the self checkouts for a while
The Goodwills and Savers of the world are the next frontier of self-checkouts, I would think...
Nice Sleepless in Seattle/Bill Nye tie in..
Our Goodwill wraps VHS 2-3 tapes up now for .59 cents.
Savers is a good source of lightly worn clothing.
We need to have thrifting bingo the free space should be abandoned food or drink
5:40 Primer on DVD neat.
Aaahhhh yeah check it out. Some of the best sci-fi.
You gotta make the pilgrimage to Delaware to check out that Burger King they uncovered.
You're more likely to see Dan Bell (who is based out of MD IIRC) there honestly...
Ever since I started to connect with your work, it has made my life so much more awesome because I get to travel everywhere!
If you have any electronic skills, I’m betting checking or just flat out replacing the capacitors would fix it
I still have my Nsync board game!
Babylon 5 remains my favorite sci Fi series of all time. Season 2-4 are epic television. If I had found those figures, they would be mine.
Effect Treatment Apparatus is a prostate massage machine
I 2nd Babylon5 (B5 for short). Think Star Trek but not everything is Rosy and warm.
The sticker on the stick was hilarious! It takes analog electronics to a whole new level! 🤣
Always check the CDs. I have found some gold in there. Including a few CDi games, had to sell them untested because I couldn't find a single person who still had a system.

Everyone regrets purchasing excalibur games lol
I liked the first two or three seasons of Babylon5, so you may like watching the whole run of the series.
I love these places. You never know what you’ll find at the thrift shop!
You really need to watch Babylon 5 its a classic sci-fi 90s show with a awesome story. The special effects were all computer generated dated now but still hold up!
Now he only needs a Franklin Ace.
I had that NSYNC game as a diehard fan!! The Backstreet Boys game wasn’t as fun lol 🤭
I need to go thrifting with you. I’m a huge regular at a lot of Goodwills in my area, and Platos Closet just reopened last Thursday in my city. 99% of the time I shop for clothes in Goodwill.
Sadly I quit Thrifting because the ones in my area sadly don't have much and there prices have jumped through the roof.

The We do Geek Family sign feels like a family that jumped on the "geek" trend. 13:40, That Tengen poster, now thats real shit.
"Once upon a time" in a galaxy far far away. How did they get it wrong?! 🤣
You don't know Dinosaur Train!?!? Seriously!?!? This is the character Tiny from Dinosaur Train!
Lol no never heard of it. I thought Petrie was green but just saw that he's brown. I swore he was green but it's been decades since I saw Land Before Time.
The painting kinda looks like one of the characters from dinosaur train
It translates to: "When is your next driving around in the hood video". That's what it said.
Babylon 5 is, imo, the best sci-fi show ever made. Absolutely check it out.
It's pterie and Ducky's unsecret lovechild 😊
If you ever watched turning red then yeah that's an accurate representation of 2002.
But it's perfectly all right for boys to like boy bands
Oh man, I'd be all over those Babylon 5 figures! And yeah, watch it.
