Every Gray NES Game On Sale For Those Who Missed Out

Got 3,800 dollars laying around? Smash open that piggy bank of yours because this is the deal of a lifetime. Owning every NES game made on gray cartridge (with a ton of instruction manuals) along with a mint-condition NES console is sure to earn you a gaming medal.

Now as for selling all of them, no medal is awarded for that. In fact, quite the opposite. Sadly, the seller (eBay user oceanic234) is going through some family issues and is in desperate need of money. I’d say it’s a reasonable price considering the work he’s done collecting them all and maintaining them in proper condition (unlike that lunchbox we saw). Unfortunately, I already have an ass load of NES cartridges and my biggest pet peeve is duplicates. So, thanks but no thanks.
