nvrmndtheruins Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Thank you all so much! I hope everyone has a great holiday season! One I get this stuff all together this weekend I will post a picture of it all before it heads out! Hey everyone, My family and I are looking to donate a Playstation 2 setup to a local foster home for Christmas. The foster home is for teenage boys and due to financial constants they will not be doing much in terms of Christmas this year. I am looking for a system, 2 controllers, a memory card, and some games (sports, racing, nothing to gory or adult just some multiplayer games the boys can enjoy together) I am not looking for people to just give things they have spent hard earned money on to me for free or to seem like I am begging people to help. I am willing to pay fair prices for things or to trade for them. For trade I have a bunch of beer collectibles (glasses, signs, ect) If you would like to sell, trade, or donate things (at my shipping cost or yours) feel free to contact me via PM or email. My personal/professional email address is MichaelRossCT@gmail.com (this is different than my paypal address) If you would feel more comfortable speaking to me on the phone feel free to send me a message and I will send you my Cell number. All items to be included in the gift would have to be received no later then December 30th Thank you all in advance for helping me and my family do something nice for some people whom we feel deserve it. -Mike Edited December 13, 2011 by nvrmndtheruins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiman99 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) You can find used PS2 games in Pawn Shops for about $4-$6, at least in my area. It's a good way to get some cheap games on a budget. Let me see if I can find a game for you, at least that's all I can do for your BTTF car Edited December 3, 2011 by amiman99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaxda Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I have one for you--only have one controller but might be able to scare up another one. Sent you an email as I am not logged in here nearly as much as I would like to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have an untested PS2 memory card that I picked up by accident at a yard sale, thinking it was a PS1 card (I don't own a PS2). I'd be happy to send it for free, though it might take me a bit to get to the PO -- just PM me your address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaxda Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hey, I was able to get the console off OK but as I wrote nvrmndtheruins I was unable to locate the couple of loose games that I had promised. If anyone has some and can work a deal out here for the pop-punk man, just let me know and I will happily pay any shipping costs incurred by donors/sellers so these kids can have some games to go with the console.

RJ Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) You should post a list of the games you get, unless multiple copies doesnt matter. I'll look thru my stuff tonight & see if anything is donation-worthy. I assume you'll take PS1 games too? & the age range is just teenagers? I have some kid-friendly PS1 games we dont touch over here. Edited December 8, 2011 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
