Don't know if I'll be able to "keep" any of this yet but I just got back from the flea market with this... Definitely NOT an April Fools joke

Nice...I have that same drug dealer AWS scale. Now that you've got the scale and packets its time to setup shop lol.
I bought it so I could track ink levels after I reset the chips.  

A truly empty Epson T58 80ml cart should be 60g without ink but there are about 15ml left when the chips says 0%. You have to reset before ~30% or the chip resetter will fail. To use that last 15ml, you have to reset early.

Sounds like code 
 




SHHHH!

It would be pretty lame to just mimic something we all know has happened before. That’s not going to convince everyone that it isn’t a joke, but it’s something at least.

We already cut open a package and still can’t identify it. There’s an updated video linked further down in the thread.

Are we buggin’ out from contact? Not that I can tell. At least not yet. It’s been a while so I assume we’re safe. Thanks for asking... or is it a movie reference I don’t get?  

Nah, man. Not gonna rat you out! We cool.

A friend said it would have been more awesome if "NARC" was one of the titles.

I’m officially not allowed to say certain things publicly right now but I’ll update as soon as I’m allowed. I can probably say in PMs if anyone is too curious to wait a week.

I can say that it was a clear bag inside of the foil bag.

No shit.

I'd be way more worried about contaminating my house and somebody dying than anything else at this point.


Second behind that...I'd be worried that whoever was smuggling drugs was going to trace it to you and to your friend the flea market seller.

I’ll eat the evidence.  

J/K, but it’s probably been missing a long time. I didn’t know what it was, the vendor obviously didn’t know it was in there, whoever traded it in obviously didn’t know it was in there, and whoever lost it was at least one more degree of separation. They probably lost track of it years ago. It’s pretty risky to come after us when it’s all so public and they might expect police involvement, so hopefully that will deter them if they do see it.

It's definitely a distant second concern beyond the present threat of contamination.

Not a “present” threat anymore. I think I’m allowed to say that much.

Hate to say it, I've seen quite a bit of street drugs around Chicago in my lifetime, but that looks like heroin, or possibly crystallized PCP. (aka brown sugar)
In small quantities like that, it looks like that would be a proper place to smuggle small packages of it like this.
The reason why the board is being eaten up is because of the close proximity of the chemical makeup of that crap.
EDIT: I just saw the PCB was broken off/cut off in your imgur post.  It makes me wonder if they had larger packages in these cartridges before.

I'd bring it to a police station and see if they can test it.
They will most likely ask you where you got them from.
Crazy find. Good documentation.

Thanks! Ichinisan was wrong to question the broken PCB though. PAL (SCN) PCB shot:



It was deliberately broken off to make room inside the cartridge. Ichinisan didn't realize that it was an L-shaped PCB. Packets definitely weren’t interacting with it.

This. My guess is the first.

 

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.

Maybe that was the main use for this game back in the day. It might explain why so many copies are out there.  

One of the most common dirt-cheap NES games...

Hey, wasn't the $5000 found in NES Golf? I think we've finally figured out what that was for.
