Starting to compile a list of all the places to go to to find some retro games and machines, I went to 4 stores today and found .... nothing.
First Stop, Deseret Industries on Aurora
 |
| 17935 Aurora Ave Shoreline, WA 98133-4816 (206) 542-9447 |
If for whatever reason you end up so much north of Seattle, stop by this Thrift Store, I often find some interesting things there. Today there was nothing, except Sonic 2 for $4.
Then I stopped at St Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, also on Aurora
 |
| 13555 Aurora Avenue North, Seattle - (206) 364-8495 |
They sometimes have games there, next to their huge book section. Today there was Sonic 2 for $4 (!), a lonesome SNES cart and some Master System carts. Nothing interesting, really.
Third stop, again on Aurora, GameTown, This is not a thrift store, but a real store who is specialized in video games from all area. You'll find everything from Atari carts tot he recent X360 games.
 |
| 9901 Aurora Ave N Seattle, WA 98103 |
Nothing that blew my mind today, but by far the most enjoyable stop of the day, as I was surrounded by vintage games and consoles.
 |
| A boxed (minus the hole) Atari 5200. I have to find one these one day. |
 |
| Lot of 2500/7800 carts lose. If you look for something in particular, they have a large selection |
 |
| More Atari carts |
 |
| The Sega section, Genesis, 32X and Master System games, in boxes |
 |
| Sega section continues, including more Master System and Genesis |
 |
| NES section, I bet it is the most popular of the oldies |
 |
| More NES, boxed games this time. |
 |
| NES again, was this system popular or something ? |
 |
| Nintendo section with SNES, N64 and GC games all in boxes |
 |
| Boxed and lose SNES games. |
Fourth stop of the day, Value Village
 |
8532 15th Avenue Northwest, Seattle (206) 783-4648
|
I used to find great things randomly there, but they recently changed their policies on what to keep and what to send elsewhere (??), so it is getting more difficult to find good stuff. Today I saw a few consoles, waiting to be picked up
 |
| Weird pricing strategy |
Last stop of the day,Goodwill in Balard
 |
6400 8th Avenue Northwest, Seattle (206) 957 - 5544
|
Nothing there either, except a $12.99 Genesis with Jurassic Par, and a $2.99 NHL '94 cart
 |
| NHL '94 is considered the best of them all |
Short story of the day, I haven't see anything great, but it was a good day for Sonic 2 fans.
