I am going to buy a Nintendo Gamecube and stash it for 20 years packed!

[vegetation]

You'll probably fetch $30-40 over the cost of a used machine, which at that time will probably be $10. You want to be selling something that's in limited production for it to be worth anything substantial. There's just too many Gamecubes around for that to ever happen.

Most interesting drink I ever saw, which I knew would not last long, was this stuff up in canada for a while...maybe in the US too. It had floaty little pebble things in it, which frankly tasted, going down your mouth, how I'd expect a glass of water with semen floating on top to taste. They were little beads of gel mixed in the drink. It looked awful, and the texture was even worse. I had one bottle on a personal dare and concluded immediately that it would be off store shelves soon.

I'm gonna be a gazillionaire in 2050 because of these puppies!!!!






Then again.... probably not.

Post some pics of the VBs and AJs!

How about a used Atari 2600 console and an Atari 800 computer? Both used but in perfect working condition.

Bah. How about a Commodore 64 life size cardboard cutout of William Shatner holding one saying $500! (I've got a friend with this, won't let it go for less than 25k...:Q)

Jebus I totally forgot about those I remember I had two of them. Don't know why I had the second.

As Skoorb said, it felt like semen would feel going down your throat all slippy. Well he said taste but I think he meant feel. It was gross stuff. Who in the hell wants that in their drink? Like how can people be such dumbasses and still have the money to make that crap.

Look at technology 20 years ago and ask yourself if ANYONE would buy it for any more than a few bucks? I can't think of any. Imagine if someone had an 8088 still factory sealed. It would worth, what, $3? If that? You GC would probably be worth less.

I tried this stuff on a few occasions. Although I don't remember how it tasted, it was interesting none-the-less.

Actually, A LOT. At least $50-75. Us weirdos that collect old computer crap are strange like that. The bare CPUs are worth $3.

Take a look at ebay some time. You'd be blown away at what some 70s-80s game systems and slightly-oddish PC equipment goes for.

I have an umopened TurboGraffix 16, and a VirtuaBoy

I had a mint condition Odyssey game system in my attic.

I went up there last month and it was gnawed on by the wharf rats up there.

I went up there last week and not only was it chewed to pieces and liberally pooped on, but the rubble was covered in sawdust, bugs, and debris from the workers putting on a new roof at my parents' place.

lol

When I have extra cash I try to pick up the old school Transformers. I hope to sell it in twenty years as well.

 

Actually, since collecting things is so popular, the chances of it being worth anything in the future are slim.
