I saw this a lot too late and you all probably have seen it already but I always think it's neat to find old stuff brand new. But seriously what do you *DO* witha boxed arcade game....

If I got one, I'd unbox it and play it. Hell, it'll still need a cap kit, NIB or not. Sean McLachlan MIS Manager LithoFlexo grafics inc. 801.484.85031
The box doesn't look all that new, either. I don't know about big items like this, but for console video games and other small stuff, NIB usually implies an unopened box (often even including shrinkwrap). - Trevor Sean McLachlan wrote:

Don't touch it! DON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT!
Actually just take the robotron out and then sell the "Original Robotron shipping box and packing material" on ebay. Someone would buy it. Kurt On Wed, Nov 03, 2004 at 12:07:19PM -0700, Pete Ashdown wrote:

Then take it down to MBE and tell the kid working there you need an empty box to ship your empty box in. And you need your empty box insured. Sean

Maybe it's time to try flogging the Vectrex & Lynx games boxes I've got taking up space. I guess I'm weird, but I'm more interested in playing them than "collecting" them. (Of course the empty boxes will turn out to be worth millions on some future episode of "Antiques Roadshow", and my grandchildren will curse my lack of vision.)
