I don't need it for a while, but it's an obscure item, so I thought I'd get ideas now. Long story short, I'm looking just for the original BOX that an NES came in. I don't need an NES -- I have a specific one to go in the box, and all I can find on ebay is "New in Box" systems...

Any thoughts anyone?

Not a bad idea...I'll give it a try.

you mean the cardboard thing that goes around all the packaging ... not the plastic shell that houses the electronics ?

that's definitely obscure ... mind if I ask why you need it?

I have six or seven NES systems in the original boxes with all accessories, two of them have never been opened.

You may have one... for one meeeeeeeeeleon dollars.

I do. The foam part that the stuff sits in would be nice too.

As for why I need it...

My best friend's younger brother (whom I also consider a good friend) is graduating from college in about 10 months. Back when my best friend and I were in about 8th grade, we "stole" his NES -- It was already ancient and he hadn't used it in years; it was collecting dust in a box. It has been a running joke for years between the three of us, and I know it's somewhere at my parents' house, so I'm going to return it to him, as a gag gift new in box.

It's going to be more of a pain in the ass to get one without a system. Just buy one with it, and keep a NES.

I would like to eventually get a NIB NES sometime... just to see what they will be worth in another 50 years.

I have the system, robot, and gun.

But a no go on the cardboard or foam.
