Interest Check: M8 Demo Unit

***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***

Okay, here we go:

I am thinking about selling my beloved Nintendo M8 Demo Unit. This is not something that I really want to do, but I've got a major unforeseen expense that I will soon need to pay off. I am likely going to have to put it on eBay and try to get top dollar, but I absolutely hate dealing with the shitty unreliable eBay buyers and greedy ass PayPal. Anyway, so here's your chance...

This M8 Demo Unit was found (by me) at a Flea Market in Clearwater, FL a year or so ago, and it is in great working and cosmetic condition. The M8 is not as cool as the M82 units, but it is arguably more difficult to find. I hate to use the word "rare", but I think it's pretty fitting in this case.

Basically, the unit plugs into a TV and has 16 of the original Black Box games programmed into the hardware with a button that you can push to select the game you would like to play. Two controllers and a Zapper gun are wired into the unit as well. I will make a list of the selectable games a little later this evening, and I will be taking more pictures of the unit tonight, along with a picture of it powered on and working.

*If you would like to make a serious offer, please feel free to do so via PM or in this thread. Unless I get a offer that I really like, the unit will likely end up on eBay sometime next week.

**I would consider trading this for a M-82 unit, but my wife would probably chop off my manhood while I was sleeping.

***I will accept US postal money orders, personal checks (it will have to clear of course), or cashier's checks. Sorry, but no PayPal on this one, unless you plan to pay for the fees.

Thanks for looking, and feel free to axe me any questions that you may have. :-)

  • hmmmmm very tempting....

    ~~NGD
  • I know bunnyboy is pretty interested in an M8...
  • Sent you a PM Chris



  • what do these things bring?
  • I don't believe I've ever seen an M8 sell :/ ... This could be very interesting.
  • Yeah I would love to know what the going price is as I'd be interested too... but I know Bunnyboy really wants this right now as well.
  • If you really do this, I'd be interested in trading a M-82 for it. Send me a PM if you'd like.
  • Here's the titles of the games on the demo unit:

    Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, Wild Gunman, Balloon Fight, Ice Climber, Kung-Fu, Pinball, SMB, Baseball, Golf, Tennis, Excitbike, Mach Rider, Wrecking Crew, and Popeye. 15 games in all.



    I have posted a couple more pictures above, and also one of the unit connected to my TV. Both controllers and Zapper work great, and each game was tested as well. The unit allows for both RF and AV, but I did notice that the AV contacts in the back were a little touchy. The unit is also set to unlimited play so it won't reset after a certain time.



    This item will be shipped via UPS with tracking and insurance.
  • There was an M8 on ebay about a month ago that went for $911.



    Good luck with the sale!
  • Do you think you could provide me with a link to that completed auction? I'm having no luck finding it.

    Looks like it has a different set of games than yours does but I would imagine the value is about the same.
  • I figured it'd be worth more than an M82...I didn't know exactly how much (seems like the price difference is less than I figured, though still a decent amount)...
  • M8 is definitely more rare than the M82, at least double the price. Last one sold may have been overbid. I believe this one is the second of the three versions. I am looking for the one with Stack Up, already have this version image

    I made a bid on $378 for that M82, and right afterwards I thought "do I really need two M82?" image
    Luckily someone made a higher bid...

    And like TheFrisbee says it might not work.
  • PM sent.
  • Yeah I was watching the M82 as well Jason and it didn't look to be in that good of shape to me... otherwise I surely woulda bid on it.
  • Ummm, PM freaking sent, where's the response?
  • FREAKING PM SENT RESPOND TO FREAKING PM.
