Cleaning out my basement for hopefully the final time. All of this is kinda beat up and covered in grunge, partially because I haven't touched any of it for a decade+ at this point. Sorry I'm a goon.
Power cables included for the systems.
Everything powers on and doesn't have any immediate issues that I've seen.
I've got no clue what any of it is worth so I tried to cross-reference eBay. Feel free to try to talk me down if these numbers are actually absurdly high. (Shipping to continental US is included.)

edit: all sold! thank you goons

already sold:
PS3 (fat 80 GB, hardware BC, the model from the MGS4 bundle) + 4 OEM controllers (which are kinda gross)
$200

(all four controllers look grody like this, so you get what you get - I also do not have a miniusb cable to test the controller batteries, because Sony backed the wrong horse)
Will also include :siren: four super secret mystery games :siren: absolutely free! Do not click the below spoiler if you want to savor the mystery. But I'm not charging you for them anyway, since I won't have anything to play them on once you purchase my PS3.
Games: The MGS HD collection, Katamari Forever, Drakengard 3, and Eternal Sonata


SNES (the late model smaller revision, apparently it was marketed as the 'SNES Jr.'?) + 2 OEM controllers + 1 third-party turbo controller that I bought for Lete River grinding when I was 12
$50


Game Boy Pocket (Nintendo Power 100th issue anniversary edition) (this is probably "worth" something to a collector but I just want it to have a good home :shobon:)
$30


GBA SP (the original model, AGS-001, with the poorly backlit screen)
$50


XBox 360 (Halo Reach edition) + 2 matching controllers
$50


3 Wii remotes + nunchuks (OEM) with noticeable grime
$20 for the lot


2 Gamecube controllers (OEM) with super ratty control sticks, like jeez they're ugly
$20 for the lot


(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It's "worth" a chunk, sure, based on the last time I googled it. But finding a buyer who'll pay? I'm skeptical at best, I don't think there are that many collectors out there and most of them have one if they care to have one. If it ends up getting flipped, shrug, no skin off my nose.

Package received.

This is probably the most irresponsible packaging I've ever encountered on SA Mart. Zero bubble wrap or stuffing to mitigate any damage that occurred while shipping. I knew there was a problem when I picked the package up and could hear the items clanking about inside. I just cannot fathom why there wasn't any bubble wrap, or just crumpled up papers to the brim.

Upon initial boot up, the system seems to work, tried a game and it seems fine. The cover to the inputs left of the disk drive broke off in shipment. The motor that spits the games out seems tired and it won't surprise me if that fails sometime in the near future. The system got really scratched up on that shipment.

Got the wiimotes/nunchuks.

Edit: You know, I wasn't going to post anything but my package also had no bubble wrap, just the wiimotes and nunchuks floating around in the box. I didn't really care seeing as how these weren't high dollar items but it looks like a whole bunch of items went out like mine. That's not particularly cool.

Received my package as well. No packing material...just the console, power supply, and controllers rattling around.



The box was so oversized it imploded during transit and was left half open on my doorstep. Luckily seems like the console is intact, just scratched up. I gave everything a good cleaning. Won't have a chance to test it for a few days. Looking forward to playing some Halo 3. Appreciate the fast shipping but drat lol

I usually wouldn’t comment on a probation that I’ve handed out, but this is such a brazen lack of care that it’s almost offensive. There’s no direct rule that says “package things well” because, honestly, it shouldn’t need to be a rule. Everyone should just know to do this.

Having “less than good” packaging is sometimes excusable, the items still get there in fine, working order. The way everything is packaged in this thread is honestly the worst I have ever seen and I’ve been on this site for 15 years. If I had to move these items from upstairs to downstairs they’d have better packaging than this. What the absolute hell.

Given that you gave a full refund for shipping a PS3 in a used Home Depot box with no packing materials — and assuming everyone else’s products themselves are in a condition suitable to their standards — I’m leaving this with the 3 day.

Please, everyone, do not do this. I’m tempted to goldmine this just out of sheer amazement that someone could think this was okay to do. What the hell.

some people are oblivious to how rigorous the transit system is on boxes and have somehow avoided having any of their stuff get a boot hole in their box or whatever. seeing these isn't really a surprise to me, I've seen lots of similar stuff over the years. it's still depressing though.

you think amazon doesn't do this already lol

one of my recent injuries at work is from an amazon box with a bag of dog food in it and nothing holding it in place, so I went to pick it up, it shifted in the box, and yanked me in another direction, straining a muscle. amazon gives not a single gently caress

I received a full refund today. No hard feelings.

It cost $54 to ship Priority 2-day according to the label so it's not like any expense was spared. Sadly there's just no shipping service on earth that'll negate the laws of motion when there are loose items tumbling around in a box.
