Judging by how popular this has been it looks to be a license to print money.

Some retailers/Ebay sellers are marking up the price due to the lack of supply and high demand.

You try and buy a 'cheap' original NES on ebay with all the games included in the mini and it'll cost a rocket. |

Or an RiPi3 with a Retropie build. Does the job. Chraper, too, depending on components.

The Donkey Kong cart on it's own is priced at £45-55 unboxed on ebay, though god knows if they actually get that for it.

If I had one wish id abolish all these rip off sellers from charging those prices, back in 2002 you could buy things for like a fiver whereever you went but now people just shove the price up at bootsales because of ebay and these resellers who are only out there to make profit and not for a love of the actual games. Its quite disguisting when you look at common games like Mario 3 sold everywhere and they charge 20 quid for the game boxed. Something like that shouldnt be over a fiver. |

For a Original NES you need a CRT TV to get the best results out of them.

Only because these little shits charge stupid prices on ebay and flood the markey with over pricing things. Its a old game and it isnt rare, while companies dont make the games anymore they are old for a reason.

Why anyone is buying this is beyond me. I could possibility understand if it could emulate lot of different platforms, as it's able to. Even then a PC or tablet made last couple years can emulate dozens of platforms. you can even emulate the WII U now on high spec PC. |

You will find this happens with any that becomes rare. It's just way it works.

No one should be paying 40 quid for something that came out 3 decades ago. Thats disguisting!
Don't watch Antiques Roadshow. It will make you really cross. I have a copy of Snatcher on Sega Mega CD. (22 years old) There's one in an eBay auction right now.... £484 with 9 hours still to go. |
