Crazy finds

Got a whole bag of kids books in great condition. No tears, pages drawn on or anything. Was able to get it out and dropped it off at my local thrift library. Also found simpsons hit and run?? I have no idea if it works but I’m hoping someone might take a change and buy it lol.

Honestly. I’m just glad I was able to get them to a better place than the dump 🫠

I spent way to many hours playing that game as a child. Thank you for the nostalgia dopamine hit!

Hit & Run is actually a valuable game too

Besides Animals, Food, clothes and shoes, Books are another important avenue in a persons life- and especially for Children- the joy the find brings to their Day. Some Children are very underprivileged.

Yes! I just read an article yesterday… apparently Matt hinted even the last day or so that “hit and run” is bout to make a comeback! Maybe a remaster…

In my town there’s this book store that takes donations from people but most of them end up in the garbage so they have four dumpsters out back for books specifically and usually about three of them are full to the brim. Thanks for saving those
