What do you do with dead games/systems?

wiggy:
That stuff ends up back in the box with repairable stuff and sometimes gets used for donor parts, and sometimes I pull it back out having forgot that I already tried to fix it, and I end up wasting more time on it lol!

But mostly just used for parts.
amiga1200:
hmm?
a fair question.  :P
if i can't fix it (or the work too professional for my skill set) then give it away to somebody who can fix/make good use of it.
keep parts i can use/work, but outside that, just sit on it til a viable home is found.
no charge though.
the ONLY condition is:
if it's too far from my home address THEY come and pick it up in a FULL public arena, to protect all sides.
no shipping for giveaways, unless, a pickup req/appointment is actually paid for on all levels by the recipient in advance.  ;D
marioxb:
Leave it laying around and think I may fix it someday, but it really just collects dust. I don't really know how replace chips, ports and things like that.
SegaNomadman:
Parts. I have a few PS1's that I got from a friend that are somewhat gutted so I just keep them for parts. If I get something that IS fixable though it eventually gets fixed... Eventually. Actually, I'm waiting on some capacitors in the mail to fix a busted Game Gear right now.
PinBiohazard:
anyone use *Insert Online Electronic Store that sells GB Shells* (you who know know) for replacement shells/screen covers for them working but very beat up games? *CHEAP PLUG* but Mr RoseColouredGaming here has some awesome shells for people to use ;)
