Apr 15 2008Dope: Gold NES With Triforce Window Mod

Damnit, I hate it when this happens. You find a sick Nintendo painted the same gold as the original Zelda cartridges (if you don't know about those I'm afraid we can't be friends), complete with custom cut-out Triforce window on top, and, just my luck -- the freaking eBay auction has already ended! Woe is me. The console even has a green LED power button (as a tribute to Link's clothing), a yellow LED that makes the Triforce glow, and backlit Nintendo logos on the controllers. And it sold for $52 (plus $15 shipping)! Talk about a disappointment.
And you know what else is disappointing? The open bar situation at the wedding I went to this weekend. No liquor! All the beer and wine you wanted, but none of the good stuff. I couldn't believe it. How am I supposed to dance without some high-octane life juice? I was so desperate I almost drank a bottle of isopropyl alcohol I found in the supply closet. That said, after 14 beers and a couple glasses of wine I did actually make it out onto the dance floor. Except there was no dancing going on! I look up, and the next thing I know, I've caught the bouquet. Two bridesmaids team-punched me in the neck and tried to snatch it. So I gave them the ol' 1-2-roundhouse kick. Their dresses were hideous anyways.
If you're sad about the Nintendo not being available there's still this piece of crap available for $60.
The guy says the pictures suck because his camera is broken and he had to take them with his phone. More shit-quality photos, and a link to the auction, after the jump.

Yo that other one is the ugliest thing ever, how does that guy expect to sell that piece of shit?

Doesn't even look gold, it looks like he left it in the sun for 20 years and it's yellowed.

My favourite colour is what we deem as the representation for the absence of light, aka, black followed by periwinkle.
Just thought I'd share since I have no opinion for this story. Lalala.

Drying paint really gets the motor going.....

I think I remember those lamo-rainbow reflective stickers about the same time the nintendo came out. If I knew then that you could paste them all over a crappy console system and sell it for serious cash, I totally would have stocked up.
My old 1600 would have never looked better. And I bet with it pimped out like that I could get WAY more than 60 smackers.

I must have it, because I'm such a huge Zelda nerd it's pathetic.

The reason the gold looks so bad is because my friggin digital camera broke and my cell doesn't take good pictures. It looks awesome in person. Anyway, I have another on ebay until 05-05-2008.

The second version tops the first. Plus I have a 1-up NES too.
