[sonicteam]

just a question , it's kinda my first post , um a friend and i came across an intellivison with the computer adaptor the intellivoice add on and a whole lot of rare games including congo bongo,all in the garbage dumpters in my development, just wondering if "dumpster diving "for games is frowned upon

[Jibbajaba]

Yes, it is HIGHLY frowned upon. As punishment, you are required to send everything you found to me.

P.S. Of course it isn't frowned upon. Free games always = SCORE. :D

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty to get what you want, right?

Welcome to the forums, by the way.

Good find. I've never found anything that good. One of my friends found a Genesis and a 32X with 4 or 5 games in a dumpster a few years ago. I used to know a kid who went to the city dump with his dad one day and found a brand new sega saturn in the box and everything. This was in 1996 or 1997 when a Saturn was still selling for $300 or so.

Most of the stuff I buy at flea markets is stuff that people threw out.

I take advantage of that, so it's fine.

My friend's brother "found" an Xbox last month. (Probably in someone's bedroom) I didn't hear anything about it after that, so I don't know if it was working or if it had the hookups.

People who throw away games are losing out on money
Fixed? I can't say that "one man's trash" really applies anymore - you can convert this stuff to cash easily.
