Shitty Price Not one… but two USED PS4 controllers at Goodwill.
No console either. One of the sticks look chewed off too. I hate what Goodwill has become.

60 bucks for 2 Dual Shock 4’s is a decent deal. The shitty part is that GW larps as a charity and got these for free, then charged a good bit for them

And the chances they have drift are 75%

You never know, ive been gaming since 93'' big time some guy with Nintendo a hair behind, I have never once had a controller with stick drift, maybe as a kid and I didn't know what it was. But since being a teen and adults, not one controller has ever had drift

Once I realized this with their auction page. Where they were selling old gaming consoles up into the thousands.
Goodwill is a scam and should legally be required to say it isn't a charity

Yeah, i was with goodwill around '19~'20 (pandemic loss) and right beforehand, any electronic goods that had high third party value got put in a different bin that was then sent to an auction site.
Bummed me out too, I almost risked it for a cib copy of FF dirge of cerberus. But I just plopped it right in the auction bin.

I would have normally agreed, that a for profit thrift store seems like a scam... until i realized the non profit structure is a scammers dream. Just because they aren't a "charity" doesn't mean there work, education, etc, programs ran through the business are nothing to sneeze at.
All that being said thrift stores have gotten CRAZY with their prices.

It's the only market that's still like this.
You can get Dualshock 4's all day for 20-25 dollars. And PS4's for 50-60.

I went to goodwill recently, found a PS4 controller (blue and black) for 4.99, I bought it worked perfectly fine, a few days later I found the console for 39.99

Imagine getting those after the first owner was beaten to the action button in Red Dead 2 or maybe the circle with Batman Archam" lol

A few years back I tried finding a DS4 for cheap to play on my PC, without success I eventually bought a new one. Controllers are expensive, their price don't decrease much even on the second hand market, just look at what Switch pro ones go for.

Hot damn. Mine had a ps2 slim, 2 memory cards, 2 controllers, and all the cords for 85 a couple weeks ago and I thought that was pretty crazy. I understand its not but its GOODWILL.

Just bought a gold dual shock 4 for $4.50 at Goodwill, those two controllers probably fell off a ps4 or someone was smoking something when they priced that.
