hang on let me look up dimensions.


They have two types of Medium Flat Rate boxes, it would definitely fit in the flatter one.

system, power supply, rf cable & 3 games would fit without breaking?


1.) Yes.
2.) The box is free from the USPS, so you can find out easily! :)

A tg-16 is just shy of being 12" long. I think I'd need to step it up to a large box?

TG16 with the dust cover should have enough room for padding with the power, RF and controller in a flat medium flat rate box. Without the dust cover will definitely fit no problem. With a booster it wont' have room for proper padding.

For the record: A TG-16 w/ power supply, rf cable, 1 controller, and 3 games, shipped safely in a Medium flat rate box. (the flatter medium box)

y'know, we should maybe make THAT a guide too... which priority boxes will fit which consoles.

looking forward to participating in the BST section decided its time to let go of some of this random PC stuff as well as cords in the cord box's and what not, my house is exploding with stuff i could bare to part with.

Tell People Who You Are - 14 days have passed since you registered and you are ready to open up a store. Guess what? We do not trust you. We do not know who you are. We do not feel safe giving you our money. Do not just come to Racketboy to sell your junk. TALK TO US!! Get to know people on the boards. Weigh in with your opinions. Tell us we are right. Tell us we are wrong. Give us a reason to trust you! Failing that...tell us who you are on ebay. Or Sega-16. Or Nintendo Age. Make your potential buyers feel at ease.

^Be prepared to ship first to buyers / traders w/reputable feedback. Don't be afraid to seek out references from other members...about other members. If you have anyone to vouch for you (from another forum, etc) that always helps.

For folks w/no feedback, no vouchers, and who doesn't want to ship before payment, etc. You can always do a video of who you are, be sure to include your phone number, mailing address, and picture of yourself holding your photo ID and Social Security Card. You can block out that last digit of your social if this makes your nervous.

It's very important to leave feedback, it's a bit annoying to be missing over 3 feedback points :lol: .
