You Won't Believe What These Lucky Shoppers Found at Thrift Stores

7.One Very Lucky Gamer

This lucky discovery falling during the college move-in season exposes one of the best-kept secrets of thrift store buying: seasonal timing. Given gaming systems, even past generations, usually retain considerable resale value, the collection of video game consoles reflects a great worth. Given the current retro gaming market, this particular discovery probably consists of several gaming platforms, controllers, and maybe games, valued hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The situation aptly shows how life changes—that is, how kids relocating to college can result in meaningful contributions to thrift stores. Such discoveries are especially interesting for gamers and collectors since they can include rare or discontinued models that are hard to get via traditional retail outlets. The timing of this discovery highlights even more the need of frequent thrift store visits, particularly during significant contribution seasons.
