Nice score!

Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly is a "thrift store". Is it kinda like a pawn shop? :o :-?

A thrift store is like Goodwill or the Salvation Army stores. Habitiat for Humanity also has some in certain cities.

yeah, the one i go to is an independent one. their prices are kinda high on alot of things, but i've found lots of rare NES games there. the people in there see me come in so much that they actually hold stuff when it comes in for me. pretty sweet hookup :D

One of the pawnshops I go to does that too. I drop by it usually twice a week. Took me some time before they started to that though.
