I left this evening with the hope of finding something great.
First stop was at the Mercer Island Thrift Store where typically you don't find anything old, but you find last gen stuff at great prices. Or high end Hi-Fi equipment that the great folks of Mercer Island discarded.

of Wii remotes for $1 a piece, well anything. This time, it seems that they are a little savvy, and they prices all the PSX, PS2, Xbox video games at $8. There was a lot but nothing really interesting for this price,
Then I followed to the big Seattle Goodwill on S Lane St.

I like this GW because it has huge rows of electronics, many tvs, vcrs, Tivos etc.. There is rarely anything crazily unique, but at least it is fun, and sometimes you find stuff like tonight. In the middle of printer alley, there was a Sylvania Intellivision, the rare version of the console. $9.99
I bought it home, gave it a good clean up and it works great.
