Oh Craigslist. I was finially the 1st one to respond.
So it seems like every time anything pops up on my local craigslist I'm never the first person to respond and I won't backdoor another buyer (even though most of the poeple in my area are resellers). Finially got it set up to get text messages to my phone when anything nintendo pops up on craigslist. Today get a text to my phone with a listing "Super Nintendo w/ 14 Games" , look at the pictures notice one game is worth the 45 alone so I call the number in the add and what do you know? I'm the first person to contact him. I tell him i'll take it. He says he gets off work at 3 and I told him I'd meet him when hes off. I get to his house and he's not overly happy that I was so fast to say id take it because "hes had more calls on the add then he had anticipated" He was nice enough to sell it to me, even though he had poeple tell him to sell it to them for more money. I was pretty excited. One question. Has anyone ever tried to replace the foam in one of these rentals cases. The foam inside is breaking apart. The out side is perfect. There was also a konami hyperbeam with receiver and controller.

What is the hyperbeam?
The hyper beam was a wireless SNES controller made by konami. Like i said before I'm never the 1st person to respond to these adds and usually if i am due to work I'm unable to get there right away and it gets sold out from under me. As for the rental case I was looking online last night at charcoal packing foam (pretty sure this is about the same thing thats in it now) and I thinking im going to try and put new foam in this one.
So it was you that beat me to it. Just kidding, good score man. I saw that ad as soon as I got back from my lunch break and it had only been up about an hour so I thought I might have a shot. I texted the guy and he said someone else was already supposed to meet him that afternoon. I'm just glad someone here got it.
Driving from Missouri would have been a pretty good little trip to pick that stuff up.

Yeah, it would've been a little ride, but my buddy said he'd ride along with me. Plus, that lot was a good enough score that even after gas, it still would've been better than ebay prices.
