Gaming News He was shocked when he saw this excellent video game console in the trash on the way to the landfill…
We can find all sorts of things in a landfill. Whether simple household waste, chairs or even pieces of wood from our garden. However, this person didn’t expect to find a console box in one of the containers!
Knowing the rarity and value of retro consoles, don’t expect to find a nugget like this anywhere. However, a person shares a disturbing photo on the social network Reddit. You can see waste, but that’s not all. In the middle of the picture, a very familiar color pattern catches your eye. This is an original Super Nintendo box!
A real treasure?
The retro console, released on November 21, 1990, is becoming increasingly difficult for collectors to obtain. The boxes of this console are equally rare, although cheaper on the market. According to the comments, the author of the post is sad about not noticing the person who threw this item. She probably would have liked to stop him. The author goes on to say that it was very difficult to leave the place without being able to do anything for the company. Not surprisingly, some people write that you would have had to go into the container to get the box, but that is a pretty dangerous idea. Especially since the condition of the box is very complicated to determine. If it is in perfect condition, the box alone is worth around 100 dollars. To clarify: If the Super NES were in the box, the whole thing would be worth around 450 dollars.
What to do in this situation?
Depending on your recycling center, it may be possible to recycle the contents of the containers. Most of the time this is prohibited for safety reasons, but it is possible to recover certain bulky items. This is not considered theft as the item was left behind. Please note that this is not nighttime looting. The responsible staff will be asked to pick up an item. If you are convincing enough, they may agree to return an item. However, it would have been difficult for the author of the Reddit post to restore the Super Nintendo box. It seems that this item, nostalgic for some, will become nothing more than an ordinary piece of cardboard.
