Just so long as those headphones are in an unopened package......

there are a bunch of molds in the bag that look unused, but I'm not taking any chances :

Wow, nice haul. I ALMOST bought a 19" Viewsonic CRT in 100% condition from my local goodwill for $50..... and then I realized I didn't have the desk space for such a behemoth :/

Speaking of heavy things, dow'd you get that xbox out to you car without throwing your back out, anyway? :D

shopping at goodwill - cheap
saving money - cheap
recycling - cheap

using a coupon at goodwill - priceless

yep, but they go quick. I was standing at the electronics case when it was brought out. a lady behind me said "I'll take the xbox" as soon as they put it on the shelf, right in front of me. I picked it up and gave it to her. She thought the price tag said $14.99 and said nevermind. I put it in my cart after that, trying to decide if I should get it. then I realized i had that coupon in my car.

it's funny, there's a crowd of people that wait for people to come out of the back room with stuff, then they pounce on it like vultures. I was lucky to be standing there, I saw the shure's under a pile of other stuff and was digging it out when they brought the xbox out.

Granted, the xbox isn't that hot of a price. I'll probably hock it on craigslist. Right now the only game that looks fun to me is guitar hero.

You only paid like $56.25 for it, that's a hot price for an Xbox.

You couldn't pay me $50 to take a 19" CRT! I just bought a 19" LCD (brand new) for $109.

I regularly see xbox's on craigslist for around $70 -$80 with games and extra controllers in my area..That's why i figured it was a lukewarm price
