Renton scavenging hunt

Goodwill Renton

3210 NE Sunset Blvd. Renton, WA 98056

Always a good place to go hunting the Goodwill store inRenton recently had a lot of semi retro machine, and 2 or 3 of each of them.Prices were  in the $15 area so definitively not too bad, if you don’tspend a lot finding cords or controllers. This store is pretty big, and theirelectronic section is impressive, one of the biggest in the area. They do nothave a specific video game section, so you have to hunt in a couple of aisles.

3 N64s

3 Gamecubes

2 Xboxes

Playstations

Commodore 64 +1541,1702,Vic-20, more - $100 in Tukwilla

Good price (not a steal) for a complete system in working order.  Here

Commodore 64 computer with 1541 disk drive, 1702 monitor, C2N cassette drive, joystick, 40+ user-recorded disks with case, and a VIC-20 computer with 5 cartridges and a handful of user-recorded tapes. All of the hardware is clean and has been tested and is working well. Includes necessary power and signal cables to make all of this work, and manuals for all hardware except the monitor. Note that the VIC-20 uses the same power supply & peripherals as the C64 so only 1 set is included.

Mint condition 6 switches @ Lynwood Goodwill

Saw this pristine 2600 6 switches (light) ($24.99 ....)   at Goodwill 14500 15th Avenue Northeast
Shoreline WA 98155

I can say I never saw a 6 switches so pristine, but no box and being a light one I passed.

Astronaut stuff

While looking for Retro stuff in Boise, ID, I ended up at Reuseum a great place to visit.

I found a boxed TI99 in very nice shape for too much ($75). And also this space exploration marvel

Seattle Retro Gaming Expo 2012

Well, this year it will be the Bellevue Retro Gaming Expo, but close enough.

At the Red Lion downtown Bellevue (almost), June 16-17. As every year, pre order the pass to get 1 hr early access to the exhibit hall and show floors. Which in the past has proven to be worthless IMHO.

Should be a great place to go to for a couple of hours tough, we don't have much of these in the Seattle area.
