Thanks for the tip, Jesse! Also, I enjoyed your talk on Thursday. I'll be sure to thank you if I take over the world nod[1].gif. 

 

Did any of you from here nab this? I stopped by and it was gone. If it doesn't fit you, PM me and we can work something out. I'm having a real hard time finding 38R/L conservative business staples.

Very fine automotive sandpaper (1k-2k+ grit), fiebings black leather dye, and a layer of creme/wax melted in with a lighter will work wonders.  You won't have the same grain structure in that area but unless someone is examining your shoes up close no one should notice.

Thanks for the tip. I think they were marked 9 but I couldn't really read it. I decided $18 wasn't worth the risk tonight.

I think they were all labeled NES-001. The one that sold for $13K was a completely sealed special edition of something. A similar set to mine (slightly better condition only because more things were in plastic) just sold on eBay for over $200. I will be holding onto it in case the interest spikes like it did for arcade games, etc.

sadly the original game is missing, but I'll keep an eye out for one from now on...sorry fellow '80s/'90s children, this is going into a dark, hermetically sealed, temperature controlled environment and will not be available.

This is crazy! Never even seen this before. The one we bought new came with the orange plastic gun and a Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt combo. So many good memories. Any of you guys remember Galaga or Marble Madness? Stayed up for hours on end playing those. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

Thanks. Concealed, it's either my monitor or yours but I'm not seeing excessive red tones.

I mean, I am on a brand new Macbook pro....

 

Or I am just going color-blind, can anyone else weigh in?
