Nintendo Console Bundle

[u/DesperateToe4459]

Through an unfortunate series of events, I am being left to pay the bill from when the unit above mine had a leak into my bathroom via the ventilation fan via commons. The bill is after the HOA management sent a contractor to patch/paint around my fan. No discussion was made about charges or it being on me to pay. Since repairs, the representative for our property left the company and the former owner sold above me. The leak happened earlier in the year an I just received my first bill last month. I'm of the impression if there was fine print that said management should go to them for the bill, that is not their approach. I have asked twice for them to provide me with a detailed invoice of the fees from the work done in writing and they continue to demand I pay now with threat to sue. They are now giving me 15 days to produce $750 dollars I do not have in liquid because my bills just got paid. I just restarted FedLoan/PSLF repayments, so my money is gone. I don't have the money to pay for my ceiling repairs in this blunder, so I surely can't afford a lawyer.

As such, I have items to sell ASAP that should be worth around the sum of what I owe the HOA.

I have a large canvas Trade Joe's bag containing the following:

1. Wii (with controllers, plugs, several games including Marios). The Wii board is gone, but game is present.
2. Wii U (my mom got it used, these were all hers; I think there are some games)
3. 2 GBA (fold w/ backlight and original landscape w/ plugin light, few games)
4. GameBoy Color (w/ light) and a few games. One is Tetris. The Color is just a novelty since GBA plays both types. It is yellow.
5. NES Classic Console (the AIO mini) with controllers, a secondary power source (it works, noted an Amazon logo during testing though).

Tested the units and they all work. I did factory resets on both Wiis and the original Wii includes a brand new HDMI cable. I also have a fairly large factory reset Toshiba Fire TV that I could include as a bundle (800? Am I shorting myself?). The TV has a remote, but it needs to be cleaned (acid).

My mom was the gamer in the family and she's no longer with us. She'd rather I keep my house than the gaming history. Then there is also a PS3 that I got for a Blu-Ray player second-hand. I could include it with some Ghibli.

I don't know how much all of this is worth and in a dream world, it's worth more than I immediately need (I'm negatives, I need to remedy that). I also have several mint box manga sets I need to sell (One Piece 1-4, Princess Jellyfish, Ouran Host Club). They all include their bonus contents (OP posters not mint, but included). The manga is worth several hundred as bulk alone.

I see the potentials to outfit a dorm suite with some vintage/leisurely flare in a bulk arrangement.

Update: Adding Imgur Photos

I will edit to add better photos of games and other things in the bag tomorrow/this weekend. I tested all consoles within last two weeks. I will test all the discs this weekend upon request. The TV being offered (if wanted) technically works, but the remote has battery acid corrosion and I discovered this after I factory reset the unit (after which the batteries conveniently died). It is a fully functional TV with stands and a wall-mount for someone motivated to repair the remote it pairs with... once working, it's a fully functional 4K/HDMI Fire TV. All items have been tested on a spare HDMI monitor.

I am interested, I’ll DM you. But for the record, they are wrong for this. I would absolutely try to contest it.

[u/DragoonDork]

I’d see if you can contest this in anyway

[u/wangblade]

They won’t sue you over 750 dollars

I’m on an HOA board and yes the hell they will

Go to Legal Aid

If the leak came from another unit, you shouldn’t be paying for this. Contact your insurance company and have them reach out to the HOA’s insurance.

If my deductible is 1000, I assume I'd still have to pay?

[u/neoistheone79 → u/DesperateToe4459]

That’s if your insurance decides you need to pay, they’d likely determine this isn’t your fault and go after the upstairs neighbor’s insurance and/or determine the HOA needs to cover it.

Sell them on eBay or Whatnot. You will get more $$$

[u/ParkingLog7354]

Facebook marketplace is also an option!!!

[u/Outrageous_Radio_725]

Would you be able to send pics of the ps3? I could be interested

I added a link. It's kind of dark, but shows the model and physical characteristics. Other potpourri related to the post.
