Thrift Store finds

Ok so I'm sure most people in this community check local thrift stores for older games, I was just wondering what are some of the fondest pieces you've added to your collection from thrift stores?
I can honestly say I think I've gotten quite lucky in maybe the past month on finding pretty good ps1 games for great prices, this past week I found Oddworld Abe's Oddysee, bust a groove 2, Final Fantasy 7 black label complete and a few other little items.
I know that they arent that rare or anything but to find some games I've been looking for is awesome especially when they're only a few bucks especially Bust a groove 2, which is missing the manual but only 2 dollars for it is pretty awesome.
what has everybody else found recentally or in the past that just got you super excited?

I found 14 sega master system games, all complete and all but 1 in absolutely mint condition, and got them all for 1.99 each. I was elated.

At the same thrift store I found 2 sega cd games, pitfall: the mayan adventure, and The Terminator, each marked at 55 cents each! Pitfall was complete and mint, and Terminator actually had a Sewer Shark disc in it, so I'm currently on the hunt for the game disc, but otherwise, the case and artwork are mint.

I love thrift stores :)

Man I never find stuff in my area. Years ago I found an 2600 with about 20 games but that was really my only find. All of the Goodwills area here never seem to get anything in or someone just beats me to it.

I think the best thing I've ever found at a thrift store was an old Nintendo player's guide for multiple games. It was in perfect condition.

I wandered in to a local thrift store after moving in to my apartment and found a Sega Master System, controller, 3D card (but no glasses), and around eight boxed games and four or five loose carts. I forget how much the Master System was priced at (but it was very reasonable), but the games were all marked at $5 each. As I was checking out, the lady at the cash register goes "Why are these so expensive? They're older than the first Nintendo!" and she proceeds to ring them up at a dollar a piece. All the boxed games were complete with the exception of Phantasy Star, which was missing the manual. Left with a pretty hefty bag of stuff for a little over $20.
