Thanks: Gave 57, Got 132 | Find of the year
Maybe not but it made me happy. Look at the condition of this NES
This cost me.........nothing. I found it in a skip. It was buried under a pile of old magazines and shoes. I normally dont take things from skips, but I could'nt help myself this time. Works perfectly. Best example i've seen in a while.
It is the Super Mario 3 pak. has game, 2 control pads, AC and RF. console and paperwork including manuals, poster and warranty card still in pplastic packaging. Brought back some old memories I can tell you.

I can't imagine why someone would package it so neat and tidily just to throw it in a skip :D

I reckon the owners may have had a loft clearout or something and just bunged it in. If I had bought it, I would still thought it great to find one like this, but to find it for free! Some people just dont appreciate nostalgia anymore.

Wow, great find! Not even any soggy tomato stains or broken up bits of egg shell on the box 
Goes to show I suppose that rummaging through skips can be worthwhile, perhaps these tramps are onto something
