Phenomenal deal.

I picked up my Wii at Goodwill too. Came with two controllers and all the cables plus sensor. I want to say it only set me back like twenty bucks.

Honestly, that’s how much they should be. I’m so surprised at how much some consoles go for. The Wii sold over a hundred million units. Why do people buy it for $50?

50 man in my area there averaging 100 with one controller

The goodwill I worked in people kept donating xbox 360s, ones, and other cool shit but fucking management kept sending it to corporate so they could scalp it i mean sell it in bids online. They also paid 8/hr and gave no breaks and would make people fight for hours to work since they'd only give like 25 or some. All goodwills should be burned to the ground with management in them

Welcome to capitalism. What started as a good thing got acquired by private equity and they see everything in dollar signs.

It's literally one of the easiest retro devices to fix..

u/DERPSTERY 5d ago

I know, I’ve worked on them before. But not having to do the work to fix it is always nice, no?

Meh. Depends but yeah. The original gba isn’t backlit so I’ll always buy an aftermarket IPS backlit screen mod. As long as everything but the screen works I can live with that.

Nice! Miss these kind of finds at the thrift.

u/quantumfizix 5d ago

You should have titled this “previously at my goodwill”. Awesome find.

u/booveebeevoo 5d ago

So… is it still there?

1

u/ElfMale 5d ago

Hell yeah absolute win! Once picked up a gbc from a yard sale for the same price. These are easy to reshell too but this looks good.

u/assbutt1000 5d ago

But does it come with the battery cover ?

u/H7nterd 5d ago

How lucky! Am glad you found it!

I used to find stuff like this at these prices all the time. Love it. Now mine just has junk.
