what the f is wrong with people!?! That thing isn't beat up or anything. People baffle me everyday.
It's our duty in my opinion as dedicated gamers to help preserve stuff like this. I remember when Game Stop started throwing away the cases and manuals for all PS2 games and Xbox games at one point. Yeah I get there are a million copies of madden that probably was the main reason...but what bout all the other titles? Just getting trashed. Really crappy.
You did a good thing today!!
I never found a console in the trash, but I did come across a guy who had a Sega CDX and was like "I don't even know what this is, I'll probably just toss it at some point" so I calmly was like "eh I'll give ya $20 for it" and he was like "sold" I handed em my cash...and slowly walked away....
