I use a variety of these to store controllers and older consoles/games, they work really well and hide in the closet really well.I also have (too much actually) stuff at my parents house. It is a good temporary solution. I have about 85% of my empire at their house right now, but they know not to get rid of anything. Now that I have more time on my hands, I can start getting rid of stuff. I've been trying to get all of my games/systems together, but it is an ongoing process. I keep finding n64s...at least 20 of them now that arent boxed or different colors.
Is there a good way to store controllers? I've seen shoe organizers that people have used. I've also been looking for a way to easily wrap cords. I need to make a template...I was thinking something out of foam or flexible plastic, so I can squeeze the template and get it out while keeping the cords wrapped perfectly. I did try it in the past, but the foam wasn't big enough. Maybe a reusable zip ties to secure the cords? IDK. Maybe it isn't a big deal to a lot of people, but when you have hundreds of controllers, wrapping the cords can be a PITA.
I hope you didn't pay that much for them, I've seen bigger bins for as low as $6. I try to stock up on them at Target, every once in a while some good ones go on clearance. It's gotten a bit harder since they don't order too many seasonal colors anymore.I just finished packing my collection for storage. I got 8 of these 64 liter Really Useful Boxes http://www.officemax.com/office-furniture/storage/general-storage-bins-totes/product-prod4690006?R=23408144&ssp=true and wrapped most stuff in garbage bags inside the box then sealed the box with another bag over the top. 8 of those fit most of my stuff but I am going to have to get a few more I think.
