Hello folks.
Given recent events in my life (girlfriend leaving), I now have to re-evaluate my hobbies and what I can afford now that I have way more bills to cover. I may update this list, but before this stuff just ends up in Best Buy's recycle bins, or dropped off at a Goodwill, I figured I'd see if there are any interested parties.
Thus far:
- Original Xbox -- works, but wonky.
- Original Xbox -- has been dismantled, likely just good for parts
- Sega Game Gear -- bad screen
- Playstation -- Original model. Not sure if it works. Last I checked, it did, but it may not.
- Atari 2600 -- Original 4-switch model. No idea if it works, one controller port broken.
- Coleco Telstar -- No idea if it works. The AV switch has a missing connector.
- Splatterhouse - Terror Mask. This was a pre-order bonus from GameStop for the Splatterhouse revamp on X360/PS3. Due to GameStop's incompetence, I ended up with 2. Still in it's box.
- Dishonored Deck of Tarot cards. I have two of these, both unopened.
- Nintendo DS game cases--These are just game cases, some with manuals, all with some cover art. A wide variety. These are a hold-over from when I worked at GameStop. GameStop, as you may know, no longer sells used DS games with cases. When traded in, they just throw them away. I saved these. According to my son who just counted them, there are 107 cases. Several Nintendogs, several Star Wars, a rather large variety. I would probably let this entire pile go for $5 plus shipping. Many of them are in great shape, and on at least 3 or 4 occasions, I have purchased a used DS game sans case, and have been able to get a case from this collection.
- Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition for Xbox 360. I pre-ordered it late, and from two places hoping to get just one (didn't think I would). Instead I have two. The unopened one is up for grabs. Make me an offer I can't refuse--plus shipping!
- A Nintendo DS Lite with L & R buttons that stopped working after it was dropped on concrete half a dozen times. I did not do that on purpose.
I may add to this, but not sure yet. Figured I'd try here first. I think, at most, I'd let this stuff go for $2 plus shipping (unless noted), and I'd use USPS flat rate shipping containers. Whichever will hold that monstrous old Xbox or whatever.
If nothing else, within a week I'm going to drop them off at one of the aforementioned locales and just be done with them. I should be able to do this via Paypal, which I'll figure out if anyone is interested.
The thing is, I'm not asking for much here, and would just like this stuff to go to another collector than to rot away on a dusty Goodwill shelf, or to be dismantled via Best Buy's electronics recycling program. This is step one. I'm building up to getting rid of a lot more stuff. I cleaned out a huge pile of DVDs and all my vinyl today as well, and a stack of old heavy metal VHS tapes. Like I said, I may have to scale back this otherwise exciting hobby, and if I end up needing to move, better to have less stuff than too much to carry.
Also, if there's something you're looking for that's on my collection list, I may now be totally willing to part with it.
