Now to explain the subject lol. My name's Dan, (I was at the Smitty's RGCW committee meeting; the robust man with the curly moustache 
, and I do some art and turn video game stuff into other stuff in my spare time. If you follow the link you can see what I do: Dan J. Gutwein Creations.
Basically I'm looking for consoles (NES, SNES, Gamecube, TurboGrafx), controllers (NES, Xbox/360, Playstation), and video game cartridges (only SNES and N64 really work well). Consoles get turned into shoulder bags, controllers get turned into wallets/change holders (NES), buttons and some circuit board stuff harvested for earrings/pendants, and cartridges get turned into wallets/business card holders.
Generally speaking, 95% of the time, people see my stuff and react with happiness and joy lol.. but there are some who squeal with sadness or outrage at what I've done to sweet retro gaming gear. I do my best to only use non-working pieces. Hence, if you've got a console that doesn't work (but the exterior is in decent shape), I'm interested in it. I gladly take donations, but I am completely willing to pay for the stuff that's just gathering dust because it doesn't work, (just realize that I won't be able to give you tons of money for your stuff as, really, I'm a stay at home dad who does this on the side. I'm not making my millions doing this lol).
So, that's that. If you've got gaming stuff that doesn't work / has been on the "I really should just throw this out.." list for a while... let me know
I may be able to take it off your hands and give it a new life.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, folks
