No I mean it literally, it was wrapped in all the factory plastics and has literally zero wear and tear. It might have been taken out of the box and maybe used once or not at all.
Check the capacitors anyway please.
Damn. If you'd kept it wrapped, you might have been able to sell that for a LOT of money
These "home pong" consoles were very common at the time. They don't really do much, so their main value is historical interest, and this isn't a particularly famous model. A quick eBay search seems to indicate it might go for GBP 80 at most, but probably more like GBP 20-40. So OP got a good deal, but they didn't find a lost Vermeer. :)
Nah, it's a cheap pong clone, it doesn't have that much collector's value. Also I can just pack everything back up, it wasn't sealed just wrapped in plastic.
