Want to buy NES!!

transmitable25 · 06-22-2006, 10:30 PM

I've been wanting to buy the Original Nintendo NES for a long time but I don't know how safe it would be to get one off ebay. I've just been having cravings to play Mike Tyson's Punch Out and ExciteBike. What do you guys think about buying one of ebay?

Ebay is good just get it from someone who has a high seller rating, those people usually wont rip you off.

my bro uses ebay alot and hes never been scammed as of yet so im sure its pretty safe.....

ebay shouldn't be a problem. I bought my xbox on ebay, I also bought a laptop on ebay.

Even if the NES isn't perfect (i.e., it has trouble loading games - the flashing red light) you can fix it easily:

I got my Nes on ebay. Works great. Just make sure you read the description carefully, so you dont buy a crap one. Also, only buy from a seller with a lot of positive feedback, ie 500 at the very least.
