Freakin' awesome stuff, L__E__T!  I wish I could get my hands on stuff like that.  You're really lucky!
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat

worst thing?  It was LITERALLY destined for the bin.  Sacrilege if you ask me.  A corridor of gems going off to be slaughtered by removal guys or something!  I had to save them.

In Germany, taking stuff out of of the bin is considered theft.  :D

That pic makes me damn jealous...

L___E___T

Same here unless you get permission, which I did at least.  I'm open to offers on that stuff though as like I said I just don't have room for it.  It'll all be going in about a month's time along with some other bits like a brand new PAL NES I don't have room for.

I'm having a clear out sale soon so I'll make a thread when I can gather the mounds of stuff together.

Super neato. That's awesome, it's fun to look in garbage bins.

No it wasn't a bin, it was before it got to the bin :)

man, I couldn't go trawling through a skip like a hobo!

I got Donkey Kong 64 and an expansion pak from a friend, and I ordered a KORG Kaossilator yesterday!

Overstock.com is your friend.  My mom gets emails with coupons and stuff from them, and they even have a few promotions going right now.  I managed to get mine for $150 w/ two day shipping.

Oh. How often do you find things like this?  :o

it really is fun though. (:

I hope not too often or I will turn green from jealousy.  :D

L___E___T

no, often at all.  actually, I missed out on the last round.  Some 20 bits of dev kit were destroyed and smashed up, there was nothing I could do about it either..

Destroying them is a shame from a fan's viewpoint. But on the other hand it's understandable that the companies don't want their stuff in the hands of others.
