It was bound to happen eventually… a mint copy of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link for Nintendo NES at a Goodwill thrift store. It was wrapped in a zip lock bag surrounded by SEGA Genesis games. The gold case had no flaking, and no evidence of any use.
I squated down to look at the pins… they were as gold as the case itself. The edge of the board was white as snow. The label showed zero imperfections. No dents, creases, wrinkles, or finger prints. I suppose you couldn’t find a copy in this good of condition unless you bought it sealed in a box.
I thought about buying it for over 20 minutes. I wandered the store and came back to look at it one more time. The price was $9.99.
Like a fool I let it go. Part of me wonders if I returned tomorrow if it would still be there. But at work I’m training a class from 6:00am until 6:30pm… something videogame related of course, but no where neat or cool or memorable as the Zelda II treasure I let go at Goodwill thrift store.
