The Collector Strikes



We just started a section call "Recent Pickups", which we will be updating regularly when we buy stuff. N8 is Retro Video Game guy (nintendo, sega and playstation) and LP is the music man who collects CDs. Originally, we started this blog to talk about the items we buy from Winnipeg's second hand spots, like Thrift Stores and Pawn Shops. We call this Winnipeg's "discarded subculture", our city`s micro history on what was prevalent at the time. They say you can tell a lot about a city by the way they entertain themselves... but what can you tell about the things they throw away? (Man, VHS was big back then!) Sometimes we find treasures, sometimes just empty promises...

Nintendo Wii Motion Plus for $3.99 found at Value Village. I don't know if it was a screw up from an employee as the Motion Plus attachment was in the rubber sleeve. It may have been overlooked when they put it out on the floor. Nintendo did release Motion Plus controllers, only time will tell if the attachments are sought out for in the future.
