    Dude! Did you just buy a Gameboy Micro for less than $2.00!?!

    • @2ndhanddaisy
      @2ndhanddaisy 6 років тому +1

      Geeze! You got to go back with cash!

    • @2ndhanddaisy
      @2ndhanddaisy 6 років тому +1

      Awesome :-) and you can buy a charger on Ebay. Maybe $5.00 for one in the USA.

    The Outlet Village in Jabal Ali is like a thrift mall i don't know what to call it but everything there is cheap

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  6 років тому

      Eman Xotwod thanks for the tip! Is it used items or second hand? The one I'm looking at on Google looks like a place that sells new things. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong one.

    Hey! there is another thriftshop(ish) here in dubai! its called Glowbal Brands Outlet, there is a mix of brand new and second hand items mostly branded! The one I go to is located near Al Rigga but there are other branches!

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  6 років тому +1

  • @Corvidae65

    Cooler than a ski resort in Dubai! The thrift looked and was priced just like one at home. I do hope you pick up the gameboy on your return.
    Are you planning a trip out into the desert? Be cool to see the dunes and solitude if you could find a guide.
    Thanks for letting us tag along on your journeys. 🐮

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  6 років тому +1

      🎿I grabbed the gameboy. Its not an original but for the price I had to =) No desert trips planned. Id like to do some camping but we will see. You are always welcome to freeload the journey haha

    I guess another close thing to a thrift shop
    In dubai is Brands for less but it can be expensive sometimes since it is actual brands but if you look good enough you can find so many cheap and great quality clothing

      Thanks =) went back today, got the RGs, gameboy and trek jersey. Then found the Filipino town resale shops. Prices just as good but not charity based. Found 2 great items at one of the filipino shops, then ran out of dirham.

  • @Wheely55
    @Wheely55 6 років тому

    Wow! I'm sure shipping individual packages from Dubai would kill any profit but what if you collected a bunch of stuff and had one big package shipped to house back home and then listed them when you got back? Would it be worth it? I'm sure you can find some seriously good high value items there with all the rich people donations? Thanks for sharing.

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  6 років тому

      It's all for luggage back home 😁 nothing getting shipped. 🤙🐪🇦🇪
