Nice find. Goodwill nowadays just makes me sick. Most of the CIB's they get are put aside, and listed on the stupid website. Ever since that stupid website action house of theirs, it is almost impossible to find CIB's at a reasonable price. I have talked to the Goodwill city manager in my city, and he is such a duce bag. 5-6 years ago I was able to get NES games for $2 each, CIB or loose. Nowadays it is $7 for crappy games and $15 for games they deem "good". Or they make it even worse and bundle 5-10 games together, 8-9 sports games and one good game for $35-40. They have also been selling complete NES systems for $100. I remember buying most of the NES's for $5 from goodwill. And, how they spread out the video games to all there stores is a mystery, the store near my house always gets the crappy sports games. The store manager complains to the corporate office but they said FU to him. Well there is my rant. Still a very good find for how crappy Goodwill has become. They transformed themselves from a thrift store to a high end boutique.
i bought my complete power set for $20 dollars in the box, and i didn't want my mom to see i bought something huge, so i had them toss the box and put all the stuff in grocery bag, and i kick myself everytime i see a nintendo box.

Tell me about it. I thought goodwill was suppose to be a store for people who cannot afford to buy stuff retail. Granted alot of people go there to buy treasures and resell them it doesn't mean they need to not have anything in the store worth buying. I have had my share of amazing finds in goodwill (like 3 copies of CoD MW2 for $5 a piece) but just the other day I saw a sealed Brutal Legend and I was like F yea!! Then I saw in marker $34.99 and laughed. It retails at $20 now so who the hell are they trying to rip off?? Poor people?? Anyways I told them I would buy it for $5 in 6 months when it is still sitting there... /rant
On topic that is an epic find!! You are a lucky man!
