You know that saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure"?  Well, I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply here.  As the title states, this auction is for 10+ pounds of garbage.  I was thinking about throwing these things out, but thought I'd see if someone here would like to throw them out for me.  All this garbage is video game related.  There's broken stuff, untested stuff, dirty stuff, and low value working stuff.  There are games, paperwork, empty boxes, a console, and other stuff.  There's stuff from Sony, Nintendo, Sega, and other companies.  

Payment will be by postal money order only.  That's right, not only are you paying me to throw out my garbage, I'm requiring you to pay with a very inconvenient payment method.

Buyer to pay the actual cost of postage.  Bidding starts at $0.00 (which is on the high side, if you ask me).  Minimum bid increment is 25 cents.  If you have more money than sense, feel free to buy it now for $20.  This lot is guaranteed to disappoint* (see guarantee details below).  Monday is garbage day, so auction will end Sunday, August 18 2019 at 11:00pm NA time.

Good luck and happy bidding!


*Lot is guaranteed to disappoint!  If you purchased this lot and feel like you got a good value, feel free to return (at your own expense) any number of items from the lot until you feel like you overpaid for what you kept.

This is amazing. And yes, a shipping estimate would help the trash collectors rationalize this

Sadly, no.  If you win, I'll try to find a smoker who would be willing to let this garbage sit in their house until your payment arrives.  No promises though.

That said, I got this garbage from a variety of different sources, so it's possible that some of it may have been in a smoke filled home.

Don't give in to temptation!  It's just garbage!

Shipping cost will depend on where you live (there's more garbage here than will fit in a flat rate box).  I'll post an estimate tonight or tomorrow.

ffs I'm trying to buy my first mystery box and this is the only thing up...   Good luck, I would bid if there was a pickup option because gas and my time would probably be cheaper then shipping for 10+ pounds of crap

Looking to buy/trade for everdrives! Specifically SD2SNES & Famicom N8, but also interested in any flashcart for nintendo consoles/handhelds.

The SNES Rocks! I'm on a conquest for consoles, too bad it seems every last flea market is dryed up. Hope you have better luck than me.

What's burning my brain is the money order request. I gotta know why!

Huh. Ya, I read that part the first time and thought “this guy doesn’t have a paypal account?” Lol. 

When I thought about it as a joke i thought “that’s not even funny” and I got kinda mad then I laughed. Like “ohh he got me!”

I'm pretty sure the money order bit isn't actually a joke - I've purchased from Red and he required a money order, if I recall correctly. One of two people I've done deals with on here who did.

Oh. Well, it’s one way to avoid paypal fees.

Or he’s just plain old school. I remember mailing checks (or money orders? Can’t remember which /maybe I did both) for ebay purchases way back when.

Probably has a legit reason for the Money Order request. Doubt it is just to save a couple of bucks, if that on this sale. If people don't like the form of payment, just move on if they are not willing to budge.

Hope to see the actual contents of this box!

Well,see, if he accepts paypal for stuff advertised as 'garbage' and the recipient actually likes it, they could file a 'not as described' claim with paypal. Smart of Red to not risk that.

I looked into shipping and due to the size and weight of the box, it would cost somewhere between $15 and $60 to ship (in the continental US), depending on your location.  Send me a PM with your zip if you want a better estimate.

Sorry, only my garbageman is eligible for local pickup.

I only collect physical payments.  Not a fan of digital ones.

Would you accept cash in lieu of a money order?

As hard as you try, this still can't be the worst mystery box on NA. Had a couple complaints to me when I was a mod of some other ones, and yikes.

Unless you're including some actual trash and a half a pack of cigarettes, you can do no better than third worst.

Reminds me of the woot.com Bag Of Crap. The only thing they ever tell anyone about what's in them, is that they contain crap. And that you don't want it. And yet the servers would crash at how many orders would come in.
