You do it however you like. You're the one giving away the stuff, so you decide how people get it. Typical methods include puzzles, first-post-first-serve, raffles, etc.
Are you allowed to charge for shipping with what you are giving away?
 
AFAIK, the packages I sent were all received with the exception of the GameCube bag, since it was sent to Finland from Canada, heh. I also received my Steam copy of Prey very promptly (hey, I'm trying to get rid of the clutter, not accrue it).

Sure, but as a courtesy, I would state so in the original post. I'd also let people know where you're shipping from.

Okay! Thanks for helping a newbie like myself out. This place rules.

Okay, I am in the Southeastern United States, and I am giving these things for free, plus whatever it costs to ship them if it is too much of an inconvenience for me. If you are chosen/choose to get one of these items, PM me and we can discuss shipping.

The NES Casing, Lanyard, AV cables, Jet Set Radio, manga, and the faceplate kit are up for grabs. Just call dibs on it, and we will take it from there.

The faceplate kit works, but the spring that keep the USB door shut is missing. Not a big deal though if you use wireless controllers. Comes with software, and it still has blank pre cut sheets in it so you do not have to manually cut your faceplate for it to fit.

The Manga was free, and I do not care for it.

The NES casing is good if your casing is cracked.

Jet set radio broke, but I taped it together. Fully functional, but not a collector's item by any means.

The AV cables are for a SNES, PS2, PS3, GCN, N64, XBOX, and XBOX 360, and have S-Video output.

The Beatmania bundle with controller and game will be given to the first person who can tell me how to access the service mode to an RCA 20V500T.

By the way, it is not the common Turn the TV on and hold down MENU and hit POWER and VOL+. I am making a project, and need to adjust the tube. If you must know, I am building an Ikaruga cabinet. If your method works, you get Beatmania and the pad. USA Beatmania sucks, but a free pad is always good.

Nothing big, but if you want it GAF, it is there.
 
I think I found it:

1. Enter the service mode (S-Mode) by pressing the VOLUME
DOWN key on the instrument until the volume
decreases to minimum.
2. Press the INFO key on the remote handset while holding
the VOLUME DOWN key on the instrument.
3. Press the PROGRAM UP/DOWN buttons to select the
different adjustments under the first menu and press the
VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons to adjust the setting
(value).
5. Press the OK button to toggle into the Main Menu selection
mode and select the different Main menu sections
using the PROGRAM UP/DOWN buttons. Press the
OK button again to toggle back into the value adjustment
mode.
6. Menus up to menu 19 can be selected directly using the
remote control by pressing digital buttons 1~9, 0, notebook,
CAP, Display, Sleep, Calendar, System/INS,
Favourite, Return and Picture.
7. Press the Sound button to save the new settings and exit
the service mode.

You KNOW you want it! Call dibs for the cable if you want it! The casing, and Manga are still up for grabs!


TO THE PERSON WHO PUT THAT CODE: I cannot test it ATM, as I am frantically looking for the remote, but if it works, you just scored yourself a free copy of Beatmania!

To get the VHS, simple answer this trivia question.

What Sonic title has the final boss stage name of "NONAGGRESSION"?
 
I've got a code here for a free UNO game from XBLA if anybody wants it.

I got it with the XBL 12Mo/Vision camera bundle at K-Mart for $20. I already have UNO so I'm giving this code away. I don't know if anyone will be interested or not since UNO seems pretty ubiquitous at this point.

Hey, I don't have Uno. I'd love to have the code!
 
Dr. Zoidberg said:
UNO XBLA is actually a pretty fun game. One of the few arcade titles I've 200/200'd.

Code will be incoming via PM shortly.

Hey I got your PM. Thanks very much for the code! Once again the Uno-lacking portfolio pays off for the card-playing investor!

Nope, still haven't recieved anything.

I might have something (GBA, PS2 & X360 games and some promo stuff if i can find them) to give away, but I can't afford shipping costs ATM and I live in Europe.

I swear your bag is in the mail (it was actually returned to me once already because I was using a standard-size FedEx box ... they returned it because some of the FedEx was still showing). Anyway, they said 6-8 weeks, so it should show up in a couple weeks.

Well, there are many many other Europeans here that would be more than happy to receive your stuff... :D
 
I hate to request something, but it's such an insignificant request I figure why not. Does anyone have any of those old black NES dust sleeves? I could use some for my loose cart collection.

me

although i've had a few mixups with things i owe people, as well. those will be sorted in due time, i know for certain i've got a couple psp games that need to go out
 
You guys are lucky he didnt post that at the beginning of the Ninja Gaiden II japanese demo fiasco :lol They would've been gone in a flash.
 
anyone got a copy of splinter cell: chaos theory for xbox1 that theyre ready to toss away? i can probably let go of ssbm and super mario sunshine if youre in mtl. i also have arcade unplugged for 360 that i dont need
 
in the interest of good karma, i have a Sega Genesis with 2 controllers and all the hook ups for anyone wanting it. I'll even throw in a couple of random games.
 
I've got a copy of Swat 4 in box to give away. First to reply to thread gets it. Then PM me. I will ship it on my own time so it may take a while.
