Today was a bummer

The **** cord bandit ruined my score today!!! I grabbed a box full of SEGA, NES, games all the good ones like ninja turtles 2, super mario 3, section z, controllers, a ti-83 calculator, poloroid camera, voice disguiser, tape recorder, etc. I waited at all day to get home and play the NES, and mess with the stuff. I go to unload the box and notice all the controllers cords are cut including the duck hunt gun, and all the power and a/v cables were gone for both units!! They didn't bother taking about 20lbs in XMAS lights, but they ruined the game systems, wtf!

The next worse part is I find a box of lapels, tie clips, police department pins, and then I see a tie clip in a 14k gold marked package I immediately weigh it and it weights 3 grams, I figured heck ya about 140 in gold value, then the color seemed a little off to me and I notice the package had holes for earings and someone had stuck the tie clip through it, there were no markings on it as 14k! As far as I can tell all the pins and things are all non ferrous but I think non precious there is no sterling, or gold markings.

A few hundred feet down the street I came to a garbage can that had a couple pounds of extrusion and car parts in it, just so happened to be Tien lowering springs that fit my buddies car, he will be getting them tomorrow! I also found a nice dell computer with copper heat sink.

bummer about the NES, what a waste. Glad you found some other goodies :)

The nes system itself is still worth more than scrap. You should be able to sell it on ebay without the cords for parts at least.
