I tried a bunch of retro hamdhelds. They are all great but most struggle past the ps1 era. The steamdeck is amazing for retro gaming. Even does switch games. ---

They used to! Now people want them for retro gaming (jerks like me lol) and they’re getting price gauged on eBay, local marketplaces, and yes Goodwill. They have [shopgoodwill.com](http://shopgoodwill.com) now and will hold sought-after items to auction off for higher value than they’d get in their stores. ---

And goodwill will only let you purchase one. If you can check with friends and older family members they may have one or two in storage. I’ve picked up my fair share off the street as well that still worked or had the cord cut always worth a try. ---
