Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Boxes I still own

Post by Mega-Dan »

In my tiny apartment you will find (in order of purchase):
Xbox box (redundant I know)
PS2 box (First PS2 started acting up)
Dreamcast box (pristine shape)
DS lite box (hardly know its there)
Sega Saturn arcade stick in box (not much call for that one to come out and play :(

MIA
Gamecube box

A few systems I never even saw the damn box. I don't even know what a DC box looks like or a Saturn box. But I kept the recent ones and will keep all future ones as well.

NES - Nope
SNES - Nope
Genesis - Nope
Saturn - Bought it used; no box included
N64 - given to me
DC - somebody gave it to me
PS1 - Nope
PS2 - Yea
360 - Yea

I was going through stuff packing and I literally have boxes of IDE cables, 12 gauge wire, spindles of solder, plastic bits and screws, the plastic inserts of 5.25 bays, busted videogame console/ROM boards. Tons of just miscelaneous crap that I think one day I will need and use in some project.

Then the project comes and I end up buying stuff for it because I can't find the box.
Haha, same thing happens to me all the time. Just the other day I was looking for some solder and some other various parts for some projects that I'm working on. I thought that I was all out so I sent out this huge order to jameco. Then today as I was cleaning some stuff out of my closet and I found my stash. :P

if you keep them you'll get 30-50% more on eBay

the box will really send your eBay auction through the roof. I sold a nice NES with original box and docs for $150, you can buy two newer saturns that are easy to mod for the price of one older harder to mod saturn in it's original box.
