Nah, doubt it was there for even a couple of months.
I’ve worked at a lot of OP shops (thrift) for you unaustralians. Plenty of people go looking for pc parts, console shit, or whatever. Usually goes out the door fast.
Only thing that never sells is shit from like 1990 electronics lol.

Where the fuck are these thrift stores that sell new packs of RAM? Or any other components for that matter. Where I live, thrift stores sell used Chinese rags and old lamps. Nothing even remotely like this. I'm so jealous.

u/JadedTwo17 Jul 31 '26
Youd be surprised the stuff thrift stores get. Back in the day i made a living reselling thrift items. Those days are gone for years now. Most thrift store hire people to go through their stuff and pull out high value items and list the items on ebay. You wouldnt even know it was coming from a thrift store ordering it on eBay either. The super high fees on ebay also make that hussle not worth it.

u/Emu1981 Jul 31 '26
Where the fuck are these thrift stores that sell new packs of RAM?
Thrift/charity stores around here check the prices of their stock and price them according to the online second hand market to avoid having their good stock bought out those people who buy from them to resell at a profit. I don't blame the stores for doing that but it does make it harder for people in need to get what they need at a price that they can afford without having to go through the hassle of getting verified as a person in need of charitable help...

u/Dilectus3010 Jul 31 '26
The thing is, this shit ends up in these kind of thrift stores run by folk who dont know anything about tech.
That is why its listed as ''lightening'' and is so damn cheap.

I get your point, but the Dutch word litterely can't be mistaken for Lightning as in FAST.

My best thrift store find was a pack of 10 comics for $10. I’m not a comic person but I know how to look up the value of things. 9 of the comics were worthless but the Incredible Hulk issue #181, I was able to sell for $850.

I wish thrift stores near me sold computer stuff besides keyboards and mice.
I used to do community service at goodwill and people drop off computers, laptops, phones all day and they mysteriously disappear. They never end up on a shelf. When people donate clothes they are tossed into a trailer to be sent away for cleaning. Computer stuff? No frickin clue. Goodwill is a racket 100%. That place probably makes bank and only for the behind the scenes shit.
I'd love to hear from people who actually work there cuz community service people were never allowed near that stuff
