    Default NINTENDO CLASSIC NES SERIES RETAIL KIT! (HOLY WTF ?!?)

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1


    I cant believe this retail kit is over 100 dollars
    And at this point it looks like a fellow dper is the high bidder (oobgarm)

    I just got one of those for free from a pal who works at a Gamestop. Of course I only got one of the 5 shirts and 2 of the 5(I think) Lanyards.
    My friend also took like 2 of the sticker packs. But I got what I wanted .....
    The box is the coolest !

    Good luck to oobgarm on this auction.

    My previous manager (Brisco) showed me the one he got and I immediately began lusting for one. It's my childhood in box/retail kit form. I must have it.

    Yeah. I'm at my limit on that. No more bids from me. I was already overstepping my limit.

    High bidder seems a bit suspect, particularly the bidding pattern. *shrug*

    This is why I am annoyed at being a collector with almost nothing in my bank account

    Why pay that much? You should have just went around to the gamestores asking to purchase theirs.

    Depends. Probably by now, most boxes have been split up.

    I got mine for free. But stuff was taken. You dont think the employees didnt want some of the lanyards?

    As far as I know , this kit was meant as a tool for the employees to sell the classic series. The letter in the box is made out to "the video game department manager"


    I saw on the auction it says they were limited to 500
    That is the biggest crock of shit ever Who knows how many were truley made ? I do know this however ..... I am sure some were pilfered and it would be hard to find one complete.
