Just curious, does goodwill ensure it actually works? I’d assume yes
How do you know they didn’t competitively donate it?
Some parent doling out the tough love.
What does Goodwill mean?
Is it Goodwill?
Fuck goodwill.
Then goodwill turns around and puts it online for $600.. theyre gaming “auctions” are ridiculous. Long gone are the days of finding a random gem in the store.
And might this Goodwill be located in Iowa?
They aren’t worth a great deal anymore are they ? I mean they are buy id imagine some folk would rather donate than go through selling for 70 to 100
I don’t see why that is odd. I can’t imagine you can get very much for them unless you personally sell it to another person. It’s nigh 3.5 years obsolete and last I heard Microsoft was still making them so it’s not like there’s scarcity.
Person probably didn’t care about getting 70-100 bucks for a 6 year old console.
To the goodwill online store it goes!
Someone’s kid didn’t manage to take out the trash every week
Don’t give shit to Goodwill people. It is a for-profit business that only has any level of charity status because it hires ex convicts. Its charity status also allows them to pay excons below minimum wage. They aren’t doing anyone any favors.
More like someone got their console taken away
That’s strange. I used to work at a goodwill in Wisconsin until about a few months ago. We usually had to put those in a tub to be shipped somewhere. Does it still have its storage? Or is the thing wiped clean?
I bought one and stayed on the box for over a year during my move to another state and one day, the pest control guy mentioned his two 5 year old twins and I didn’t think twice, I gave it to him.
He said that was the nicest thing someone has ever done for him, giving something to his kids.
It felt good…
I have one just sitting in my closet, I’m not ready to stop playing my ps4 I barely got 3 years ago
Yeah someone likely got another D on their report card.
And you casually got a new XBONE
Someones kid is PISSED.
Or husband.
Some young fella messed up.
someone got in trouble with the wife
Def someone’s mom that got horrible grade or got caught with weed
That was taken away fr
Probably someone’s kid who has a problem spending too much time on it. Or maybe themselves trying to save themself
Can’t wait for them to flip it for $250, and another $50 each for the controllers
Someones grounded
When I was 15 or 16, my youth pastor let me borrow his PS4 to play The Last of Us for the first time. After I beat the game and went to return it, he refused to take it back. “Keep it. It’s yours now.” I was like no way man this is too much. This was around 9 years ago, so a ps4 was still the system to have. I couldn’t believe this man was giving me his ps4 just like that with nothing in return.
Anyways, fast forward many years and it’s around Christmas time. I’m with my girlfriend who is talking on the phone with her mom about Christmas gift ideas. They’re discussing one of their family members who I know isn’t exactly in the greatest financial situation and how they’ve been searching everywhere for a Playstation for their son and can’t find one they can afford. He’s like early elementary school age. Just kind of spontaneously I tell my gf that I’ll give them my ps4 to gift to their son and all the games.
It felt good to pay forward the generosity that was shown to me many years prior. I know it made that kid’s entire Christmas. I had the jackpot of games too. Just about every major release from the last many years + some.
I sure was missing that thing when God of War 2 came out this year though since I don’t have a ps5 lmao.
Sweet now the flipper gets it and sells it for $150
When I worked for Savers, we’d call these “breakup donations”. We would always figure it was someone cleaning house after a bad separation!
Some kid had their Xbox One S confiscated by a parent and then donated.
some angry wife
Someone’s parents grounded them forever
Someone’s kid pissed off a parent.
Grounded or stolen
They are pretty underwhelming. I only use mine for xbox one generation games that can’t hit stable 60 fps on xbox one.
Which they will sell.
Goodwill is just a junk reseller masquerading as a charity. Giving them something like this is kinda silly.
It could have belonged to someone they hate, and they just wanted to get rid of it to piss off that person.
or maybe they just don’t give a damn. Who knows.
after my 2 and a half month stint in a emergency psychiactric ward where there was nothing to do. i toyed with the idea of donating a modern console or something so people after me could entertain themselves while spending the days doing nothing. they had a playstation 3 stored away but people almost broke it so it had just been lying in storage ever since the ps3 days. i realised people winding up there tends to break things out of being unable to regulate their emotions so idk what it’d achieve lol. maybe i’ll donate a switch to a childrens hospital or something when i get enough energy to do something
2 thoughts: 1-Somewhere nearby, a kid is crying. 2-there’s NO WAY! it’s making it to the floor.
The employee watching you walk out with it. When they ask their boss if they can buy when it came in but had to wait until the end of the day.
Mom got pissed
