    Default How to get top dollar for your NES

    01. Build a box around it.
    02. Advertise it as an arcade game.
    03. List it for $1,200.

    Wow. Is it possible to duplicate that effort on other consoles? :P

    Man that's bad. I saw the crap posted on Craig'slist DFW, selling for 5,000 when I was fishing around on New Years Day. Are you kidding me?? At least mod it or use a HD tv, backlight it, something!

    I mean 3000 bucks, but still. Who in the world did this? And is the guy registered here?

    its a neat concept, although a bit crude looking
    and at least he's not selling a mame cabinet with 1000s of roms, It does come with the original cartridges and system.


    I remeber back in the 80s they advertised a similar "box" cabinet thing that you could put your nes in, I always wanted to get it ;-)

    $20 worth of plywood and black high-gloss house paint aside ...

    ... that thing looks structurally dangerous.

    All you need is for some youngster to hop up and lean on the joystick "shelf" and I'd bet it'd all come toppling over front-ways and squish the eager moppet.

    most certanly is not to ship that via usps in ANY manner hes going to have a hard time finding a shipper for $200 much less $75 but charging that much for that little this guy is gonna have money to burn assuming anyone bids on this... thing

    rofl. My goodness. That's so bad. What was that guy thinking?

    Concept is cool, execution is terrible. So is the price.

    He's selling his TV short, it looks much bigger than 13"

    Will never sell unless he just the actual Nintendo stuff and just sells that, turning the plywood into firewood. Probably get $200 or so, no? $3,000 though is hilarious.
