I got lucky today. I am not sure about the total worth of what I picked up, but I know I got a pretty decent deal. I came home and saw a listing on craigslist that was put up roughly 30 minutes prior to my search. The guy was selling 18 cart only NES games two "control decks" as he put it, (one being an in box top loader), the latter a vanilla NES. It also came with a never opened cleaning kit and 4 controllers (one being the original dog bone). All this for 50 bucks... I messaged him only to receive this reply:



"It's actually already been sold.  Would you be interested in a playstation,  or vaccuum cleaner?"

In a state of shock and awe.. my heart begins to sink. I shoot a quick reply offering $80 for it all.

Moments later he responds... : "Can you be here quickly?"

Haha.. yah baby. After fighting the post-work rush hour down the interstate for 25 miles, I had arrived at my destination. Everything was there as promised and I am now one happy camper.

Excellent pickup for $80. That top-loader box looks to be in great shape.

Yeah man, this is my second top-loading system. My friend bought me my first one for Christmas 2 years ago, but it had no box. I figured I couldn't turn this down for the price. I felt a little bit bad about under cutting another collector, but it wasn't like the seller breeched a contract or anything. I am just happy he was greedy

As for graffiti, I have been passionate about it for a long time. I love all kinds of art, but ever since I was 14, it has had a special place in my heart.

The TL is worth about 40$, and rest 40, so it`s not a great deal, but a OK deal. Congarts!?

I don't agree with that, a boxed top-loader in such shape worth way more than 40$. Plus, there is a lot of great resellers in the lot.
