Go Crash, Go! A Retro Gamer's Delight (was a treasure-guarding dragon)

Hi again everybody! I hope that everybody is enjoying the summer so far and that this finds you in good health and spirits. Some of you may recall my intention to do my own version of the "one red paperclip" project, except starting with a pack of gum and trading my way up to a new car. First, I traded the gum for a fierce dragon figurine. Well, I am glad to report that the dragon has found a new happy home. He was last seen heading towards his new abode with wings unfurled in the brisk October breeze... and then the holidays and life intervened and put the project on hold for a bit.

*BUT ONLY A BIT!*

In his place I am now pleased to offer you a retro video gamer's delight! Up for trading is an original Sony Playstation, complete with all cables and a controller. The system is in excellent condition; very clean. In addition to the console, I will include a copy of the "Greatest Hits" edition of Crash Bandicoot (which I am told is semi-rare). See how Crash's story began! Defeat the evil Doctor Neo Cortex and his henchmen! Save your girlfriend Tawna from nearly-certain doom!

All this can be yours! Just contact me via email with your offers to trade. I am open to all suggestions for items to trade, but the more exotic/unusual/titillating the better! I look forward to hearing from you!
