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

It probably has'nt been used for years. 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

Excellent dig my friend. I wish I was you now you can get it to your collector items chamber and just try enjoy that old fun a little bit.

Best of luck

Cheers

Either that or someone's thrown out the wrong bin bag.

Great find, I wouldn't hesitate taking that out of a skip.

[demondave]

Unbelievable! I picked one up not so long back from a charity shop for £5, games, pads, lightgun, everything, but then in a nostalgic gaming session someone wasn't quite delicate enough with it and broke one on the pins in the game slot.

Great find.

However, that sounds like you do normally take things from skips. Infact it sounds like you are quite experienced and had no way of finding it without actively going and rooting through a skip.

To the op, what was you doing looking in the skip in the first place.

I would take it if I found it, although I don't look in skips or bins.
