Made a pretty big pick up last night! Tons of great stuff including that genesis console which I think I'll add to the ol' collection. =)    

It's oddly really heavy for a Sega Genesis model 1 console? Maybe I should open it up and take a picture of the guts?

The initial haul:







After we got some of it organized:

Part of me is like

"Damn thats awesome"

And the other side is like

"Wow thats a lot of stuff to sell"

Unless you like keeping that many PS1s lol

I hope you have someone local to wholesale that too.

But let us know about the sega, i would have bought that whole lot just for that

That's the strangest haul I've seen in a while. Some great stuff in there for sure.

Are we not supposed to ask how much.....? Cuz if that's just rude I get it. But was it a deal at least or just a huge haul?!

Hori Rap4 is quite an unfortunate name.

Well I do own an online game store! =)
We just got done testing and wrapping all the consoles. Only 3 PS1s and 4 PS2s need to be repaired.
Surprisingly I can actually move PS1 consoles(albeit not for a whole lot.)
I actually have a harder time with Wii consoles since I make more selling the accessories separately.

Personally I wouldn't post anything as "a find" if it wasn't strange/unusual, or at least a great deal cost wise. As a hint no single item was more than 10$, no single item was cheaper than 1$.(A few things were free extras like the unscanned cards and some bulk common sports-esque games.) In the end... the Genesis landed up being completely free, which is an even better reason for me to keep it and add it to my collection!

Everyone who saw it here said the exact same thing, haha!

Let me give it a test for to see if it's working! Usually these models have blown fuses.

Holy crap.

So cost aside.... tell us the story!

Was it fun.... interesting? Just a local ad? So if this one wasn't strange or unusual, it was a hell of a score!

Either way, well done.

It does have a bit of a story to it. I got a call from someone who owed money(I think due to taxes?) and needed some funds. At first it sounded like it contained mostly junk, but then I got the text of the Genesis and that was when I was like, "Welp, I'm on my way!" Apparently the guy who sold it all to him long ago was a Sega employee and also sold him a nearly complete CIB collection of Neo Geo pocket stuff. He mentioned he made a ton off it, and I can only imagine what else he picked up at the time from that guy.

Right on! Love that. Almost directly from the source.

Heck of a pick up.
