Goodwillshops sucks...or?

[ViennaSound]

Never found any interesting box in a goodwill, 2nd hand, caritas shop.... and so.
Only a few cheapys.

And most of them closed the electronic section a time ago.

Expected nothing today, searched only for a few tapes.
Got more!

Yeah, a PHILIPS supercompo

Fully working in good condition!

The reason why it was there for sell:
The shop is just closing down.
And the box was the one out of the büro
So i got it for 20euros :super:

a 2nd one came with me (same price)
usual i would not have taken it, or for a less price.
But it was for childrens charity, they told me please take it, so i did a good work.

Group shot with the red roller i had with me today

I thought this was going to be a negative thread about goodwill shops

Makes we wanna go out and have another look.

Nice radios!

Glad it turned out positive, congrats Roman.

Goodwill or any thrift is a gamble and the best way to increase your odds is to go as often as possible. This also means most of the time you won't find anything but on those rare occasions you do score it will all be worth it.

I've had my best luck a garage sales and goodwill - I just picked up a small Panasonic FM15 for $3.... Original antenna, works great

You have two nice scores, there - Congratulations!
