So, from time to time, I put auctions up on ebay. Sadly, they aren’t a branded T-shirt, but various pieces of junk I’ve managed to find over the years. Junk that you can have for cheap! Okay, Okay! It’s not actually junk, but I have no use for it. So, it needs a new home. Whether or not it will be your home is up to you . . .
They never really look this cute
Which brings me to today’s listing: “2 Originial NES Controllers with Box“. This rare find was discovered a few years ago at a yard sale. It was bought from one of those perennial sellers. Every town has got them, those people who Always have something for sale. They can be a nuisance, but sometimes they are useful. Which was the case this time.
My item: 2 NES Controllers with Box
I was on my way to my then boyfriend’s house when I stumbled upon his sale. He had lots of neat things so I stopped and had a look. I was hoping to find a cheap present (which I did) when I discovered the controllers. I knew that they were rare the moment I saw them. But I didn’t know how rare or how much exactly they were worth. I did know that they were worth more than the 3 dollars he wanted for them.
Of course, I didn’t want him to know that though. It’s when I kicked in the techniques I saw on American Pickers. I let him take me to whatever crap he wanted to show me (which was very expensive btw) and I let him go on about it. I pretended to be interested as he talked about their value. Then I guided him over to the controllers & the cameras. I ended up bundling it with a old camera for a mere 3 dollars. Which is truly a steal!
Now, I didn’t sell it right away because I didn’t have a way to test the controllers (no NES available) and I wanted to keep it for a bit. I liked it so much I wanted to have it for a while. Which I have done. Now it’s time for it to find a new home. Is your home it’s next stop? Go to ebay right now and make it so!
