We've come a long ways.

Is it the same NES someone sold for $13,000 at Ebay?

RonMAIDEN · 05-20-2010, 08:38 PM

Somebody paid $13k for an old NES? I guess I better put mine up and wait for another sucker.

I'm interested in your original NES, what do you want for it?

Yes..but don't know if its the same model as yours.

Classic Nintendo NES console nabs $13G on eBay for rare 'Stadium Events' video game

I think I have pong and the original Atari (2600?) up in the attic. Joystick and a button was good, now it's all crazy. I keep my kids away from video games as much as I can, that's why we camp all the time.

YES!!! hold on to it, especially if you have original packaging. Those things are worth a ton. along with games and everything, the value is skyrocketing!

I knew that when a Goodwill Store near me had a commotion because they have that thing and they refused to sell the donated NES for 3 bucks as reflected in the tag price

RonMAIDEN · 05-21-2010, 09:13 AM

The $13g Nintendo went for that much based soley on the game it was packaged with which is crazy.

I have no reason to let it go but I have turned down offers over $100 for it as it's complete with all the paperwork that came with it in '88 then a few years later it went into storage and wasn't taken out til just last year. It works like it did when new but Duckhunt doesn't look so good on a 46" LCD.

do you still have to blow on the games to get them to work

how did you get a black wii? i have never seen one before, now i want one.

RonMAIDEN · 05-21-2010, 04:43 PM

Blowing on them removes the dust that buildsup on the contacts but recently I went through and cleaned the game's contacts with alcohol and they all work fine.

The black Wii just came out and with the lowered price of $199 they also throw in Wii Sports Resort and a motion plus sensor with the controller so I just had to another controller with the motion plus which my GF had to have a pink one.
We also got a charging stand that allows you to just set the controllers on to recharge for $25 which was perfect since you don't have to remove the controller covers to recharge them.

I have the white wii with the same style charging station. i hated removing the covers on the remotes. now the only time i have to remove them is to sync the remotes when the neighbors come over or if i take them places.

monoprice.com is a great site to get wii stuff. they have covers and recharge packs for so cheap. i bought silicone covers for my controllers, balance board and rechargeable batteries for my balance board. i wanted an orange one but their orange is kind of ugly looking. so blue and black it is.

its a great site for any of your wire needs. i buy all of my HDMI cables on it.

Wow, this thread is bringing back great memories of years ago. Playing Duck Hunt with the guns, Super Mario Brothers, BomberMan..... I can kick myself for selling my NES after buying an N64.
