Well, I went to Goodwill again yesterday early morning. I was just kinda bored from being off all week and wanted to look around. I did a round around the store and didn't see much of anything... When I got back to the front, I saw a real nice Playstation 2 Slim in Silver. It's a Playstation 2, but it's like mini sized.. it's kinda cute. It included a silver controller and all the plugs. When I popped the eject button, I even saw a game inside. The only issue I kinda had was the price.. It was $30.. Now, it might sound cheap... but think of the games you need to buy for it too. Even a simple little gaming set-up with a few games, you talking over $50. So, I told the Goodwill lady I'd be back later. I didn't have too much of a fear the systm would be sold.. the shelf sticker had said "!2/20" , which meant it had been sitting on the shelf since 5 days before Christmas. So, I left to get lunch and watch some TV at home.
After I ate lunch, I don't know why... I was giving it thought again about that game system.. did I need to spend the money? NO! But, after giving it thought after a couple of hours... I decided to drive back to Goodwill. In my mind, I'm thinking... I'll buy the system, a used fighting or driving game and have a nice time when I bring it home, hook it up. I couldn't wait! Game On!
Well, I entered Goodwill and walked back to the glass display where I was earlier that day. No game system... I asked the Goodwill lady if she sold it.. she said, "I didnt sell it... but, someone else might have when I went to lunch." So.. It's just my luck.. an item that's been sitting for over a week on the shelf.. is gone within a couple of hours after I looked at it. The Goodwill lady chimed it "the early bird get the worm".. I thought to myself, was the person who bought it really the early bird? Cause, I saw it first.. Lesson here and a lesson I've experinced in the past, if you see something you want, BUY IT! Just sometimes I like to look up items on eBay to get a good price idea and think on buying something.
I did find a new US Marine issued Marpat forest camo Garrison Cap that fit my big head perfectly. That only cost me $2.. I like different types of Military camo hats. They are made in the USA and made to last. And, besides it hard leaving Goodwill with nothing at all :-P
