Yeah, after about 5 minutes of waiting, I sat in my car, letting it run with the doors locked, I live in an area that's near constantly patrolled by cops so that was some relief, This early afternoon he apologized, and tried to offer a messy black wii with cables with pictures taken from the backseat of his messy car. This kinda has me hoping the consoles in those boxes were in bad shape, so I wouldn't have wanted them anyway, and...I know even the Nintendo boxes have value, just let me have this lol
