    Should I keep my NES and intellivision???

    I bought an intellivision years ago with like 50 games. I played it when i was a kid - then boxed it up. Well, I'm moving soon and have been cleaning shit out. I have a nintendo NES and an intellivision I never use - and am wondering if this is going to be one of those things where 20 years from now I'm like - man i should have never sold my intellivision or NES. Or are 20 years going to pass and I'm going to say to myself - have i really toted this $10 piece of crap around all these years?

    Ebay. Cash is king & do you really think you'll ever use them again? Just more crap to hold onto in life.

    It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

      I generally get rid of everything. If I don't use it for 2 months I don't need it. This is just a question about it's possible collector status.

        The intellivisions are not doing alot on ebay if you go and search for them. Most are starting at $120 and not getting bids at all. The games might be doing something different. As far as the NES there were way more of those systems built and sold than the intellivision so I would assume it would be way more than 20 years for those to be worth anything. I say EBAY then and get what you get before trashing them. Who knows you might get enough for a steak dinner or if your lucky get you the money needed to buy more e30 parts(like euro bumper mounts)......GOOD LUCK

          Yeah - I noted that they aren't pulling much.

            You just never know about these things in the future though. For instance I held onto an old complete bmx Profile 24" cruiser that my parents bought new for $350 back in 1982 when I use to race. I put it on ebay a few months back to see what kind of interest people would have. I put a reserve on it with a buy it now of $2800.00 ! It sold with immediate payment in less than 3 hours. So you just never know about these things.

              I'll probably box em up and chuck em in my attic. I still love playing super mario 3.

                I'd check it all on ebay probably, but that's me.

                BAV AUTO, (bavauto.com) I think is more willing to get you euro bumper mounts than other places. I'd give them a call.

                  I'll buy your NES off you, I need one someday, that system is just too classic.

                      If the NES is in really, really good condition let me know. Otherwise I'll wait it out.

                          NES plus big screen and drunk friends is lots of fun. Just keep it. It takes up like 1 square foot.

                              When I went to Japan, my host family (this was in school) had a ~10x12 projection screen in their living room. We played Mario on it. So cool to see life size Mario. lol
