Okay, here's the deal. I have an NES sitting in my closet, and I don't use it. I don't even have any games for it anymore. I'm giving it away to the first person who wants it.

What's that? Is there a catch? Of course there is. But not much of one.

It's an old "front loader" in pretty decent shape. It works, but you gotta work with it a little bit if your games are all screwed up. It's got an aftermarket AC cord (Radio Shack), 2 of the new-style "Dogbone" controllers that came with the new-style NES, and the AV cables (no RF switch).

The catch? There's two. First off, if you take it, you have to use it. You turn around and sell this thing, and I will be pissed. The second? You need to take responsibility for getting it to yourself. Two ways you can do this:

1 - Come get it your own damn self. If you live around North Central Massachusetts, or within driving distance, simply come to my door, knock on it, ask for an NES, and bam, it's yours. Hell, I can even direct you to a store or two around that sell used NES games. If you want to go this route, simply PM or email me, and we can work out a time or day.

2 - Have it shipped. Don't feel like driving 3 days for it? Give me an address, tell me how you want it sent, I'll go figure out how much it costs, you send me the money to cover it, I'll send you the NES. Again, we can work out details. Yes, I know I said "free", but I'm not gonna lose money to give something away. And sorry to you non-American friends, but I don't think I want to deal with the hassle of shipping internationally...so unless you can convince me it's fun and easy, I probably won't ship outside the US.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If you want to claim it, send me a PM or e-mail. It's gonna be first come, first served, but don't claim it unless you're serious.

I would claim it, but it's probably NTSC and won't run with my television. That, and I have no money to pay for shipping. Still, good luck finding that NES a good home.

Didn't I just say I won't ship internationally?

And no, it won't work on a PAL TV anyways.

i will take it, I would need it shipped though, I can send you the money via paypal I just got a really nice TV from 1988 and this should be a perfect addition since this is probably one of the mass produced ones from 1988.

I should have mentioned...I can't do PayPal. Some fucked up thing about how they want me to confirm some bank accounts I don't even have anymore to re-activate the account. There's no talking to them about it. We'd have to go the old-fashioned postal route.

And make sure that TV of yours has an AV jack, or you're willing to go out of your way to get an RF switch. It'd suck if you couldn't plug it in.

If you can overcome those issues, it's yours. Let me know.

Hey, Usa, since Ermac considers it an honor, maybe you should, I don't know, sign the NES? It would be so awesome.

You know, Syd -is- pretty close to me, or so the map says.

If he's willing, and you're serious, I might be able to pull off a signature.

this TV has both AV AND RF luckily I can send the money in the mail to you, im guessing 10 bucks to ship it also if you could get Syd to sign it if it wasnt too much trouble that would be cool

That part is up to Syd.

I'll let you know the shipping. Probably Tuesday (since I'm pretty much wall-to-wall busy until then).

I'll need an address. PM it, please.

It's sent.

It was a little more than I thought it would be, but meh. It was cheaper to send it Priority (where they give you a label and some packing tape) then it was to buy those items separately and ship parcel post. So no worries.

Ermac, did you receive this yet? I sent it last Tuesday.

I'm also still waiting for the check to cover the shipping costs...
