It always bugs me when people do that to old LPs or games.
All the handmade crap on Etsy, overpriced and destroying perfectly fine things.

All stuff like this:

The seller that turn that  n64 in to a lamp seems to love to destroy old consoles even nes rob.  

[e_brugal]

How people can do that? Is incedible how they think something is not valuable and damage it to "make it valuable". That hurts  

[FritzWhite]

The only thing crazier than making that crap is the thought of some weirdo paying good money to wear a cartridge on their belt or have a lamp made of dead console carcass.

Gee wiz, the seller wants a LOT for that custom trash.

[fiatbravodriver]

I can't decide. On one hand the R.O.B lamp does look pretty cool but on the other its such a shame.

[tiktektak]

Oh WOW they stuck a metal rod through a R.O.B.! Now that is what I call art!!!!

[quickfingers818]

That lampshade does look cool, but man what a waste of a R.O.B. the Robot. I don't even have one in my collection and I would love to own one someday

This was my thought exactly

[Arseen]

I'm safe.

I have working R.O.B with Gyromite set and 1 Full Japanese Stack-up set, 1 full US Stack-up set (no box or the inner tray) and some spares for US set.

I would so buy (or more likely make) a ROB lamp. Lord knows he isn't good for anything else, so may as well make something useful outta him

edit: just looked up prices. Had no idea that ROB was worth anything at all.  You could barely throw them away ten years ago. It amazes me when stuff that is utterly useless becomes valuable just because of its perceived rarity.  No lamp for me any time soon.

Please at least buy non functional ones.

I can understand the destruction of sport games but not collectable items.

[wiggy]

Of course I'd try and find a cheap broken unit

Although, I wouldn't be all that sad with one less working ROB on the planet (please don't kill me)

Not kill but how about one weeks ban on the boards you savage... [starts to shine his mighty hammer]... [remembers Wiggy is one of the good guys]... [starts to think Quarter Pounder with cheese]... [calms down]... [puts hammer away].

You shall survive another day.

Notices real spammer, quickly whips out the hammer and with mighty swing paralyses the miserable being.
