Hi Folks,
Some of you may remember that I found 3 of these babies brand new, never used:
http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16135
Well, I'm going to sell one of them. I'd much rather go to you folks first rather than eBay since I know it will end up in good hands...someone who will appreciate it.
The condition is as follows: Brand new (Did I mention never used?). includes box, styrofoam top and bottom of innards, console in bag (never removed from bag), RF switch (still in bag), AC adapter (still in cardboard box), 2 pegs that are optional inserts to make the game pads joysticks (which are strangely in seperate bags).
Now the bad news...someone snagged the documentation from this particualr one I'm selling and the box has a a large tear down one edge (about 8 inches long) and the torn down from there at a right angle about 4 inches. There is about 2 inches missing from one of those little flaps you tuck in to close it. Also, the box has some scuffing from 20 years of shelf wear. Everything else inside it is pristine.
So how do I know it's never used? Well, I'm just going by what this old fart told me.....that he bought them new twenty years ago and never sold them. This particular unit for some reason had the shit beaten out of the box. I guess someone pulled out the stryrofoam crate to look at it and then lost the instructions. Strangely, the box was still sitting on the shelf flattenned underneath the styrofoam inner crate. The lazy bastard never put it back in the box, I guess. How do I know the unit was never taken from the bag? Well,I guess I don't but everything else is still taped up in their bags (the console bag was the only one that wasn't ever taped shut).
The other two units (which I am not selling as of now) still have the scuffing on the box, but no tears. I may someday sell one of the others, but I kinda like having one to play and keeping one that I know has never been used....hmmm...maybe someday I will sell the other one.
Well guys, I don't have a camera, so I hope this description is good enough. Feel free to ask me any questions, of course. I'm looking to get $80 shipped or best/highest offer.
Thanks!
Yours,
Rob
-Edit: I just noticed all 3 units don't have docs, and there seems to be a slot where perhaps a game cartridge went in all 3 boxes....dunno...anyone got any insight into this? One unit didn't have the bag over the unit, but everything else inside looked new. Oh, well, what can I want for 20 year old crap? LOL
