I'm selling or possibly trading a UK NES that is boxed and in excellent, but not perfect condition. I think the only thing missing is a bag for one of the controllers, but I don't know everything that would have come with it, either.
I picked this up off of Craigslist a week or so ago. I'd intended to get the adapters and whatnot to get it up and running, but it looks like that isn't going to happen. I'm tempted to keep it just for the nice boxes and conversation, but cash or a good trade sounds better to me right now. I'd like to keep all this together, but I will split the games apart if need be, except for SMB which will go with the NES to keep it complete (I'm quite sure it is the very same that shipped altogether originally).
The games are:
-SMB
-The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy (no styro, and part of the bottom of the box is torn)
-The Simpsons Bart VS. the Space Mutants (has Club Nintendo Reg card, but also has label peel problems that I suspect are from bad initial glue-ing, because the label surface is pretty much perfect)
-Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones (little bit of label peel also, not nearly as bad, again, label is otherwise glossy and perfect)
-The Hunt For Red October (again, same label deal, was this an endemic problem w/ PAL carts?)
Except as noted the games are complete w/ box, manual, cart, sleeve, and styrofoam. I've also noted the only problems I see with each cart.
The pictures show the condition better than I could describe it for the most part. The NES unit does look like it got rubbed a bit on that black bit on top front as well as along the back seam, but I can't get pictures to show it. Those are the only problems I see with it. Another thing I did just notice is that the styrofoam is dinged 5-6 times where it looks like the edge of the box caught, one is maybe .5" long and 1/8" deep, but that's the worst of them.

Remember your browser will likely resize the pictures. They are actually pretty large, although not the highest resolution, so if you want a higher quality image, just ask. Or if you want a photo of something in particular, let me know.
I don't have a trade list, but the systems I collect for are NES, SNES, SMS (complete only), Virtual boy, and a few others, roughly in that order of priority. I'd be looking for 1 or a few good items/games as opposed to a pile of commons. Nothing in particular that I'm looking for at the moment, but I'm keeping an eye out for SNES RPGs and some more interesting NES titles.
Now, what did I forget??? I'm sure there's something, but congrats for making it this far w/out -_- .
