Hey guys,
I listed my NES and my games on ebay, but I figured I'd also just give people here a heads up if they're interested. The full description is here and on the ebay page, including all the games and the stuff that the system comes with. If someone from around here buys it, shipping wont be an issue, which would be nice. Anyway, let me know if you have any questions about it. Plus, right now it's at 99 cents, so you shouldn't have to bid that much for it.

"NES Console The console used to be the original grey color, but I taped up the openings underneath and gave the entire thing a couple good coats of gold spray paint, followed by a few layers of clear coat protective finish. Since I've done this, there has been a little scuffing on some of the corners and it seems a small area of paint near one of the corners has peeled off, but it is still gold underneath (as if only the top layer peeled off). In black, I painted a Play symbol on the start button and a Rewind symbol on the reset button. I also put one and two dot marks on the controllers to indicate which is which. I did all of this a few years back, so the paint job isn't in perfect condition, but it's held up nicely. I have also replaced the old 72-pin connector as of a couple years ago, so the games at least have a decent chance of working now, but sometimes you still have to tinker with it. The system itself is in average to decent condition -not flawless, but it works. The console also includes two controllers and an orange and grey light gun, and the original power cable. I can't find the original coax connector, but it has composite video and mono audio plugs on the side, a commonly found connector on televisions. NES Games The games are mostly just the cartridges themselves, though there are a couple black sleeves that came with some of the games. The games included are as follows: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt/Track Meet The Legend of Zelda The Adventure of Link Pro Wrestling Excite Bike The Goonies II Wheel of Fortune: Family Edition Jackal Jaleco Bases Loaded Bad Dudes Major League Baseball Kings of the Beach Tetris Skate or Die Spot: The Video Game Super Glove Ball\ Yo! Noid Kung Fu Double Dribble Baseball (Nintendo Sports Series) 10 Yard Fight Ice Hockey RBI Baseball Arch Rivals MTV's Remote Control Bubble Bobble Galaga Thundercade Golf Bigfoot A Nightmare on Elm Street Jordan vs Bird: One on One Contra Marble Madness Dr. Mario Super Mario Brothers 2"

Yeah, I wouldn't expect anyone around here to have to pay shipping. If you're not close, I could meet you somewhere too, so you dont have to drive across town.

Oh also, I should say that I went out of town until the very beginning of January and took my NES stuff with me in case I had to ship it while I was at home. If someone in town wins it, then you'll have to wait until the beginning of January for me to get it to you unless you actually DO want me to ship it. I just thought I'd give you a head up in case you were hoping to get it before Christmas or something. I'm sorry about the delay.

Oh also, it seems a couple people here have bid. If you have bid already or are going to, shoot me a PM with your ebay name so I know that you're a local when you win.

bttt

Right now, the price is at $22.50 on ebay. Again, if you get it and are local, you dont have to worry about shipping. Hell, if it's withing Raleigh/Cary, I'd probably hand deliver it.
