I just recently discovered the joy of electronic recycling centers. Was picking up an Extron switcher that I had bought off eBay from a local recycling center and decided to see what else they had in the back. Ended up picking up two Xbox One controllers, two clear green Xbox original S controllers, a complete original NES with two controllers and a fully functional original Nintendo DS all for less than $50. I haven't tested all of it yet but even if some of it doesn't work they're still really awesome to have for parts. The center and I ended up exchanging phone numbers so that they could give me tips on stuff they get into their inventory.

I used to spend so much time dreaming to Crutchfield catalogs and Best Buy, American, and Circuit City ads as a kid. Watching this is making me miss those times.

Wow, wish we had stores like that in the States. Or maybe its a good thing, I'd be broke!!

Wow, A Nakamichi Tape deck! very rare. The best tape decks ever made are Nakamichi ZX Dragon or ZX Computing, astoundingly good sound.

What a great looking store. I could spend a few hours looking round there! Nice little set up you ended up with too, that Technics turntable is lovely! It's something I'm after myself but UK/Ebay prices are a bit of a joke on Technics stuff.
