An Ethical Dilemma

Does that include the staph infections from those things?

Ha I spent hours in that place and the warehouse next to it back in '13 I think it was without so much as a dust mask, this place. there was a halfway house right across the street.





this was the warehouse














I did get a sinus infection but I got over it, if I would have known I would have at least brought a mask. I met a guy and paid him for everything I took, his grandpa was an OP and past away so they were selling everything.

No, really don't though. I just liked the meme. :)

I just had a free game delivered to my door. Work easier.
 
Best part of this thread is how much time and brain power has been wasted over games that are probably roached out rain soaked disasters...

and thats best case scenario if you even assume there are even any parts in them which is doubtful.

People generally dont just leave stuff that has any value whatsoever.

cue the debbie downer pic.
That's the truth

I found a $20 bill between a mattress and box spring once- that's the only decent thing in 20+ years

If I had a dollar for every piss stained mattress and ratty old couch people have left, I'd be sitting on a beach somewhere
 
For your consideration:

A friend tipped me off to two games sitting in the back yard of what is a rental property with no current tenants. According to Google maps, these games have been there since September, although I don't know when the last tenants moved out. I wasn't able to track down the owners (still trying but the city was no help). The games are most likely ruined, but may have some salvageable parts.

So what would you do? Tick tock...tick tock...

haha OH MAN i'm laughing myself silly right now. I can't believe we met earlier today
and completely forgot this was your thread! this would have made a great conversation
over some beers. but alas, i was in a rush cuz my frozen foods from grocery shopping

Always good to put a face to an avatar, Gleek. I finally got permission from the owner of the property to take them yesterday. They're now legally drying off at my workspace. It'll be a while before I know what's up, but I was really surprised at their condition inside (although DK Jr. did have a mouse nest in it). I was going to just part them out, but after seeing them up close, I'm dumb enough to try to save them both. I'll post some pics in a new thread later.

One also had a quarter in it, so I'm already in the black on this.

Congrats on getting them! Nintendo cabs are pretty impervious to the elements. hopefully they are fine and you can save them.

We must have the same kind of luck. The best thing I ever found was a dead laptop that I resurrected with a new motherboard. Oh yeah, also found a stack of titty mags up on top of the suspended ceiling tiles in a young lads room. There was an awful lot of grass on the infield so I would guess he nabbed them from his old man's collection.

Congrats on the pick up and I wish you luck with them. Your persistent efforts have paid off! It doesn't always work out like that so enjoy the win \0/
