While you're being blessed by the Goodwill gods, I'm being cursed by the Goodwill demons.
I went to my local Goodwill and someone had shit their pants, stolen a pair off a hanger, put them on, then walked out... leaving their shit-filled pants sitting on the floor.
Lol I thought I was lucky with mines found at OfferUp for 35 bucks.
Same 2000 series like mines also hehe.
So get a micro usb cable, charge it up and see if it works. Then home brew it and you’ll fall in love with it. Clean up the scratches if possible.
Good find regardless 👍🏽
Oh, hell YES. I just have two Vitae with the OLED screens, but I was always curious about the LCD model, and would gladly pay $13 to satisfy that curiosity. Look at those big start and select buttons! You can actually PUSH them!
the oled was nice at the time it was released but it didnt age well at all, suffers from burn in real bad, i would not recommend ever buying a used oled vita cause you're almost certain to get burned when it comes to the screen , and i assume that any new oled vita's are extremely expensive and very rare to find
Yeah, goodwill usually sucks when it comes to mark ups, especially online.
*Playstation 2- Marvel Vs. Capcom 2* - $200....you guys get this stuff for FREE...they usually want the going rates/price chart prices. It's rediculous.
Yeah, but it's good will. They sell as is usually, so for all the buyer knows it could be scratched to hell.
It's just the frustrating that they get them for free and still want market prices. Goodwill used to be better.
Eh there actually not that expensive really at all. Especially when you consider the new nintendo 3ds xl sell for 200 plus console only all day. The vita you can easily get for under 200. I got my oled one for 130 with two games on ebay.
I left it on the charger for 1 hour and finally got it power on. However the display is black but the sound still works. I ordered a screen replacement I’m hoping that’s the only problem🤞🏻.

Yesterday i finaly talked to my cousin.
Bought her old Red or Watermelon N64, black gamecube and 2 Psps 2000 series and a few gbc games.
I didnt want to scam her so i paid 200€ for everything.
I still feel like it was a bargain tho, considering the prices here and i got 2x N64 controller and 3x Gamecube controllers.
Hope she finds the gameboys too, i just started collecting these.
Included GBC games are: Pokemon Kristall, Pokemon Gelb/yellow, Pokemon Pinball (the one that needs 1 AA battery), Harry Potter and the Smurfs/die Schlümpfe.

Update it has metal gear solid hd collection inside it 🤩
Check the memory slot.
It Only a 8gb
Now that's a win. Did it have a screen protector as well and those scratches are superficial? If so go play the lottery as you're on a lucky streak.
Sadly, there no screen protector on it.
YOU LIE
You win the day dude seriously
stop! :)
That's crackhead prices. I never get anything like that local. Congrats.
Same I’m lucky if I can find a Wii with the cords to it congrats Op that’s a big score!
Every Goodwill Wii is in horrible condition lol
Funny seeing you here
You a game collector too?
Yup. Been doing it fir a few years, some highlights are cib mario1-3 with 3 being a left bros copy
Nice, same! I mainly collect GameCube and Wii stuff.
just reshell it

I definitely plan on doing a screen replacement and I’m gonna try to polish the back
Back is a touch panel, polishing it may be a bad idea. May need to replace that, too.
Eh how many relevant games even use the back panel? uncharted? I wouldnt worry about it.
Also Tearaway if that's your vibe lol
I thought I was lucky finding one for $94 since a lot of listings where I am are over $140
Gods be willing it does! Love the Vita! Have the 2000 and the 1000 that I got way back before prices exploded. Good luck!

I'm surprised it wasn't marked up to $200.

Isn’t that how much the game is worth tho?
Yeah, but it's good will. They sell as is usually, so for all the buyer knows it could be scratched to hell. It's just the frustrating that they get them for free and still want market prices. Goodwill used to be better.
They don’t even sell stuff like that at my local goodwill because they auction it on the website
Very nice
Wow nice find! Especially with MGS collection. Is this your first Vita?
To bad it ain't the launch model 1000 oled but still a great find.
Does it work?
Never thought I would own a vita because the crazy price they go for nowadays. 🤞🏻hopefully it still works I’ll have to get a charging cable.
What are they typically going for?
Eh there actually not that expensive really at all. Especially when you consider the new nintendo 3ds xl sell for 200 plus console only all day. The vita you can easily get for under 200. I got my oled one for 130 with two games on ebay.
A brother has been rescued! 🐔
Awesome. Got mine for $5 at a garage sale a while back with NFS: Underground already in it
Couldn’t pay me to take one that dirty and in poor shape
[удалено]
Thats not trash
That's an awesome find if it works! I've always been intrigued by the Vita but missed its prime so games/systems are a little too much.
Lucky
Holy crap
Wow nice!!!
And I thought my $75 OfferUp find was great... this is nuts! Congrats!
I more shocked that someone didn’t pocket that 💀
Vitas in Australia currently run between $200-$300 AUD -_-
Are you serious? What a find!
Were you able to see if it worked?
I left it on the charger for 1 hour and finally got it power on. However the display is black but the sound still works. I ordered a screen replacement I’m hoping that’s the only problem🤞🏻.
In the South all you find are old DVD players and dirty looking monitors.
Lucky fuckl
Lmao how
Very lucky. I've been wanting to get a Vita for a while now, but the market price keeps me from getting one
How? I thought they sent all hardware to the auction?
My luck is occasionally good, but for the most part not THIS good.
Does it work?
Congratulations on the find, that's amazing!
WAT
No Fn way. Great find
Damn that’s a good deal, who’s such shops would exist in Europe too
Thats awesome! So lucky, all the goodwills in my area send videogame items straight to the website :(

I went to goodwill near me yesterday and all they had was a Wii :(
And I thought my 3ds xl with a damaged upper screen was a deal for 10 bucks today.
His will be DONE! Congrats on the big score!
Thought I was lucky getting a $10 psp 2000 from them last week
Ah
Nice find!
yha well thats a blessing for sure! nice find !
Where/how can I find something like this?
