NES Nintendo
    #20041153 -

I was thinking of buying people's broken NES Nintendo systems and repairing them to resell.  Maybe buy for $10-15 and sell for $99 with 2 controllers, game console, IR gun, some games.  Good idea?:thumbup:

If you can find a good supply, and buyers, yes. If you know how to repair those systems you could probably make some money doing that. The speedrunning community has been gaining a lot of traction, and traditionally you need to be playing on the original system if you want to learn to compete. Plus there will always be game collectors, and people who will impulse buy out of nostalgia. I mean, I kinda want one now.

Yeah, I've been having fun with Mike Tyson's Punch Out and Ghost & Goblins.  I find all the cheats online.

my copy of ghost and goblins was cleaned with like water or something so the headings lost the lubrication stuff that made sure it conducted right, most of the NES games I have are like that.

still a working NES system is pretty cool because 3rd party systems can't really do the sound right for some reason being the sound chip is copyrighted

yeah man, emulators are only best attempts at getting game working correctly.  I used rubbing alcohol on the game contacts.  I hear a dry eraser would work well too.

I couldnt live without a working NES. $99 seems steep, but I might pay extra if I could be convinced it was in better shape than other ones that are available. I think there will always be a devoted following, and I assume there are less working units in the world every day, so someone will need repair them.

Edit: actually $99 isn't bad if it includes working controllers and a gun, and games, although I probably wouldn't need games. Another thing I've noticed is the d-pad on my controllers aren't working as well as they used to. Could that be repaired also?

Not a bad idea, I recently bought a generic system that plays both Super and NES. 

I like collecting old games, haven't picked up any super tho..I'd like to get some FinalFantasys.

I've since picked up..

Snake rattle N roll, bubble bobble, Micro-machines, Super off-road, Mario 2 and Rampage.  Those games average bout $20 a piece so $99 for a NES setup isn't too crazy.

I would love to get my hands on some original controllers because these fake ones kinda suk.
