My fam used to be big on having yard/garage/rummage sales.... but I'm trying to Spring Clean and I dont want to move it from one spot in the house to another.. E-Bay just might be the answer tho'...

Thanks Fellas..


Now. If I can just set aside the time to take the pics, post the shit and get it handled.. lol..

To my understanding its all in fine shape and working.. we just have the PS2, X-Box, Gameboy and Gameboy Advance... all the shit is just piling up around here..


I'll have my boys plug it in and make sure its all in working order... I'll put together a list of what all I have and give my Siccness folks first shot.. (AOD you first) save me the work of puttin' it on E-Bay..

I should have the list by Sunday afternoon... after all the birthday festivities are overwith around here..

I sold my used GBA on ebay for 50 bucks with Tiger Woods PGA. Bought it becuase I had a flight to Jersey, played it once, sat on the shelf for 2 months after then I sold it.

save it for when you have kids.i found my nintendo a few years back and hooked it up for the kids.i already had a PS2 but that old shit was new to them.my mother bought me a nintendo 64 for christmas cus i wanted to get down on Zelda one more time,now my kids fuck with that daily.i bought them Game Boy Advances but they still fuck with the 64........

but if you aint got kids or dont ever want'em,do like Mark 7 said and give'em to a kids shelter.........

Man I'd take that shit to a kids shelter....



I feel you on that there Mark.. I donate every season to the one spot we have out here... the place is an renovated Retirement Center, bigger than I've ever seen.
The first time I donated, I took a tour and numerous local businesses had "adopted" a room... down each wing there are different types of rooms- single women rooms, even a handful for battered men.. but the police, firestation and attorneys got into this huge competition.. all the kids rooms have computers, PS2's, fishtanks, etc..
I mostly donate winter jackets, summer clothes and jeans..
