SOLD: What should I do with this minty NES Deluxe Set?

Dang. I'm still searching the resale shops for a copy with the adapter. I would have assumed the console that shipped with the game would have had the adapter but maybe not
would've had to be the very early ones I guess. I used to play Gyromite for hours wielding 2 controllers. my ROB perished itself from disuse I guess. :( I turned him into a Christmas tree. :ROFLMAO:
 
I really didn't realize they made deluxe sets for so long. The SN on that looks to be 15 million. I assumed everyone figured out ROB was useless by then and waited for the next "bad" accessory (the power glove).

You forgot the power pad!!!! That thing was dope!

ROB was part of how the NES was so successful in the United States. legend has foretold Nintendo branded it more as a toy than a game console in the wake of the vidya game crash.
 
If it were me, I'd join a couple NES collecting groups on Facebook and post it for sale there. Only accept F&F because obvious reasons.

There are some crazy NES collectors out there looking for something like this.

If you are looking for maximum profit, then just ask those same FB groups what it's worth. At the same time you get estimates, you will have people giving you offers.

Thanks everyone for your input. I ended up doing something similar to what @TheYeti proposed, as I cross-posted this on VideoGameSage. That site has so little traffic, not like the old Nintendoage website. If that site was still around, this thing would have been sold in minutes. I've gotten a few nibbles, most likely I won't be grading it only because I don't know enough about it to assume it is brand new and unused. It will be up to the buyer if he/she chooses to send it in for grading.
 
It is a game system. Play it. Don't get it graded. I am very bitter about those grading things. It takes a perfectly working game someone can enjoy and then seals it up never to be used again. The person pays a bit to get it done too. What good is a game if you cant play it sometime? Everyone is free to do whatever obviously, just my 2 cents. I hate how the market is not flooded with grades games that people want $10k for when they made 2 million copies of it.

I fully intent to open everything of mine when I get around to it. Things can be played and still kept in excellent condition. You can get box protectors for console boxes and the game boxes. This ensures that they stay in great shape. I have all my books in archival bags and game boxes in these archival clear boxes.
^ THIS.

What good is grading a game? It's just another scam to tale money out of your wallet.

What's the point of owning a game in a box? You get to look at the box, but NOT play the game? Howzat work?

Guys guys guys...no need to pull out the pitchforks. I play my games plenty, I already have an NES among other consoles and don't need this set. This is extra, and I am not one who appreciates collecting cardboard.

The CDX, to this day, is one of the neatest and coolest console form factors.
I was amazed they could condense that bulky Genesis/SegaCD combo into such a tiny functional case.
Some titles did give the CDX some trouble in the past, but you can usually remedy that with a new laser lens. I replaced the one on my unit a few years back and it has no issues reading games. Given it's small size, I fear it may blow up if I use it too much!
