Nintendo - The Thriftdweller Perspective

Since the Thriftdwellers have been slowing down in the pick ups, we've had more time to reflect on the items of the past which have meant a lot and shaped our current existance. The Nintendo Entertainment System was the height of video games at home in the 80's and early 90's. With games like Contra, Super Mario and POW, the Nintendo (NES) was felt everywhere. It was on commercials, TV shows, bedroom walls and my dreams.

The NES restored home gaming into a new age of glory from the ashes of the Atari era. Check out the Thriftdweller take on the Nintendo.

My Top 3 Loved Worn Nike Dunks

In honour of this past Lover's day, I have 3 of my most loved, worn (not new) Nike Dunks from my collection. Brand new, these kicks can be worth b/w $250 - $350, mainly because they are sold out, and only available through Nike Select SB dealers in the first place. If you see these at the thrift store, pick them up, I've read of kids finding Dunk SBs and even early JORDANS and selling them to Japan for hundreds... Not bad for $10 investments.... So gather round as we discuss more shoes... and hopefully you can become a little smarter "thrifter." (also check out my previous Dunk Post - Avengers )
