So.... I see this a lot. I'm shopping on ebay or checking out individual sellers on Amazon and I see all these systems being sold with no cables and handhelds with no chargers.
How/why is this happening? Where the hell are all the cables and chargers disappearing to? Who is hording these things?
Why can't I buy a GBA SP for a reasonable price that actually includes the charger?

Sweet Taft Jackson, how do you even live like that??!? I mean I'm aware I tend to keep things relatively neat due to my upbringing, but I don't consider myself a neat freak or anything and I'm twitching just imagining being in there

I work with a guy that would get that bad if we let him. Every couple of years our boss forces him to abandon all other projects just to spend a day or two cleaning his office. It isn't too bad right now because we recently moved to a different building and he purged a lot of stuff in the move.

A) The sellers never test the system and sell it as is.
B) The sellers test the system, it does work and sell it as is without the cables
C) The sellers test or know the system's broken and sell it as is
Highly doubtful for B, but the reason C can happen is the system's accessories still have value for sale or trade in, but they figure no one knowingly wants to buy a broken system. Also, have you seen the value of slim x360 AC adapters? Crazy high, IMO.
