How to get top dollar for your NES

[Flack]

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

/me Agrees With Oobgarm.

Clever. But not $1,000+ clever.

Actually i doubt he'll get top dollar for it, who in their right mind would buy that... well i guess some would, but yeah that would be a rarity.

OT: Hey sniderman, ill take a videogame clock for -$9 + shipping.

Hmm... this guy must post in the MAME area here. What a carpenter. Looks like something I'd be capable of building- which is not a compliment.

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?

Is it even possible to ship that Priority Mail?

[Blitzwing256]

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 ;-)

hmm.. i like the Donkey Kong picture on the side but isn't worth 400 let alone 1200.. ha ha.

Yes, I wanted that thing also.

[MrSparkle]

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

[PsychoCandy]

I messaged him saying i'd give him 25 bucks if he'd deliever it
