Can vouch for this. Got a PS3 copy of black ops and some baseball game for the 360.
Can't be assed to take pics, because who cares

>>376427779
GameStops supposedly have plenty of perfectly good games in their dumpsters for some reason.

There's apparently a ton of vids of people taking about "HUGE/INSANE Finds" from GameStop dumpster dives. I haven't actually watched any of these vids, so I can't properly question their legitimacy.

>>376427629
>Found in dumpster
>who would buy this
obviously nobody

>>376427629
>IIT: poorfags who dig through trash like bums

Nobody since it was in the trash.

As much as I will never do dumpster diving, I know people that gets $100+ each dumpster diving run by selling what they find.

>>376427629
looks kinda cool actually.

>>376427864
>>376427924
>>376428212
even if thats true, do you really want those bargain bin copies of battleborne and old xbox 360 games? whatever you find wont be worth buying

>>376428376
How
Only thing I've found worth a shit was a Wii that wouldn't power on

>>376428212
Most of the games found are in the 1-4 dollar tier shovelware that gets thrown out because they just take up space. Most of the other junk is just the case to a game or empty boxes.

While you could find one cool or interesting thing, it's in the trash for a reason.

>>376427629
>digging in a dumpster
i seriously hope your not this poor
your never going to salvage any games or anything worth while you filthy fucking plebeian

>>376428145
desu I think that looks pretty cool. not any more autistic than the terrorist watch Casio that everyone wears.

People are so touchy just becaus eit came out of a dumpster. Do you think there's much other than plastic, boxes, and discs in there? It's not like getting food out of a trashcan.

>>376428456
You can try and sell them if you're that desperate for cash, I guess.

Don't just do gamestop. Now when stores throw their old stocks and even some game-related trash sells.

>>376427629
Those colors are actually pretty nifty. I'd consider wearing it just because of how simple the design is, plus it's best Playstation era logo.

>>376428897
ch.

Could never see myself wearing that watch but I really want the PS1 logo t-shirt they sell. Even if a small part of me would be ashamed of being a walking Sony advertisement.

>>376429395
tools, books, movies, phones,etc
Just check stores that sell goods near your location, scout them everyday and you will know when they throw trash, their old stocks, etc. A week and you will know their schedule.

Can you plausibly deny "throwing out" the games and keep them to yourself?

>it has japanese symbols it must be the weeb thing my friends from facebook talk about

>>376427779
there's a youtube channel dedicated to this btw

I was caught doing this when I was 17.
I'm not allowed near Gamestops in my city anymore. They have my photo and information, and they'll call the police if I get anywhere near the building.
I'm an Amazon shopper exclusively now.

It's kind of like IRL Diablo.
You go through a lot of random drops that are useless and eventually find something awesome.
It's also a good idea to look in McDonald's dumpsters, sometimes people barely take a bite or two and throw out an almost whole burger.

>>376429395

He posts daily about dumbster diving near Gamestops and sometimes its really funny to watch

probably the same person to take from a dumpster, into their home, take a pic of it, and post it on 4chan.

Surely.
Surely you could just buy a fucking burger.

>>376435016
Do you eat one burger in your entire life?
It adds up if you do it every day.

>>376435223
this logic..

>>376435223
Eating a burger every day is a poor enough life decision even without getting it out of a Mickey D's dumpster.

>>376434898
this is kinda comfy

>>376434530
not only that but McD's policy is to throw out hours old bergers and make new ones so they always have relatively fresh ones ready to order even though they are still fine to eat

shame my local McD's started cracking down, used to just wait around for a couple hours and get a nice sack of warm burgers

>>376435959
seek help

>>376434530
this guy is completely right i once found a half smoked cigarette in one of my burgers it was great

>People shit on other people dumpsterdiving

Lol when i was a student i made my money with this shit

Its a little bit riskier in germany because every trash belongs to the german state so if the police arrived i would have been arrested.
But oh boy did i get good things:
>An entore display of Yugioh booster packs from Gamestop
>Shitton of games nobody wanted in Gamestop but were sold at the internet
>Food that would expire ina few days that could be stored at home
>A fucking High Definition Tv that worked
>An entire surround sound system that worked worth few thousands bucks

>>376436380
I can understand every single bit of that except the food

you literally have no excuse to be digging through trash for some food unless you're in poverty

woah that watch is cool as fuck

>>376436380
>Food that would expire ina few days that could be stored at home
Expiration dates are assuming that the food was properly stored throughout its lifetime. If that food was in the trash for even a day, the day it goes bad could have been accelerated by half a week already you human trashbag tripfag.

>>376428897
honestly it doesn't look bad, if you're not someone who cares much about fashion or you're a hipster you could wear this casually with almost anything

>>376427924

Seriously? I know someone that works there... I guess I never asked.

>All these people saying stores just toss out old stock
>Worked at several different stores in my area
>absolutely none of them toss anything except literal trash from trash cans

The most I ever see them get rid of is cheap seasonal displays. I have one Halloween one that looks like a creepy carnival sign. Other than crappy paper displays these stores don't throw away shit.

>>376427629
nice, I'd legit wear that for novelty's sake.

>>376427629

>>376444000
Nice digits there friend

>work in World Market
>Only product we toss is food past the expiration
>We have to dump all the contents out before throwing it away for some reason
>Manager lets us buy the recently expired food at like 10% of the price

A coworker of mine got like 30 bottles of soda for $3, and I got 10 boxes of that mochi Japanese candy for $5. Was honestly pretty cool. But I still hated that we had to dump the food before tossing it.

>>376427629
GameStop doesn't throw out shit. When we no longer sell older games they get shipped to a warehouse in Texas. Items that get "pennied out" are things in our inventory that we are no longer selling and need to be held until your dm comes to field destroy them. This is pretty much just strategy guides which most DMs will just let the employees take home and tear up what ever is left.
The only games we ever toss are things people try to trade in but are to fucked for us to take so they just leave them on our counter because they were probably stolen anyway.

I'm an ASL at FUCKING GameStop

>>376428456
>whatever you find wont be worth buying

You can clearly see a ton of scratches on the 360 disk in your own picture.
I'm sorry you are a disgusting trash person who needs to rummage through others waste because you can't afford to take care of yourself. I hope you are enjoying the free WiFi in whatever Dunkin Donuts you're in and that the employees leave you be

so this is what pirates do in their time not shitposting? Going through trash?

those scratches are literally nothing but I agree with you about the trash part it's pretty fucking sad.

>>376436380

I've found

*Functioning HD TV (Broken HDMI 1)
*solid wood coffee table
*30 gallon Aquarium
*Sunlight floor lamp

That's from my apt complex alone; There's a bunch of useful things that get dumped.

I draw the line at food or soft goods though: If I can't bleach it, it doesn't come into the house.

>>376447816
What kind of apartments do I need to find to get good shit? I don't really understand.

>>376447510

Runs in a 360 =/= can convince buyers it runs in a 360

Unless the game is worth something, you don't bother trying to fix it. Get a scratched weebshit game, run it through the buffer because that's like 15 dollars profit if you can fix it, get a scratched normie game, just junk it because you're always going to have good used copies to sell.

Listen if I see something on the street or the sidewalk in the grass you can collect it. I found a very good pedometer on a parking lot once and a broken smartphone on the street.

College towns man: End of the semester, kids are trying to figure out what to do with four years of accumulated living.

They put the most valuable things into their shitty sedan and leave. Whatever doesn't fit gets left by/in the dumpster.

Never had to do any serious diving, because anything worth taking home sticks out the top/gets left on the side.

>>376427629
>My question is, what type of person walks into GameStop to buy a weeb PlayStation watch?

no one. which is why it was in a dumpster

the real question is, what type of person goes into gamestops dumpster to find shit like this and ask who would buy it

>>376449393
A smart person? Dumpster diving electronics stores rules, very little chance of finding gross shit, very high chance of finding thrown out merch, games and unfixable consoles that you can sell to dumb niggers.

I occasionally went with my friend and his family to dumpster dive years ago, never found anything good myself. I didn't realize they were poor at the time, I was a stupid kid. Maybe it's like gambling where the people that find cool shit on their first try get hooked and people that don't find shit their first time feel disgusted with themselves by the end of the day and don't bother anymore.

Shit. I literally live in walking distance of the University of Monroe Louisiana

The university I go in has a couple of electronics waste depots and the unspoken rule is that anything that ends up in there is free for grabs. It's fun to go rummaging through those every once in a while, I've managed to score some parts for my retro PC efforts and sometimes there's some real finds waiting for a new owner. I've seen fully functional blade server systems, rackmount switches and signal analyzers among others.
