No idea but it's definitely worth much more than a regular virtual boy. Would love to have that.

Lol, they had a kiosk for this thing? "Step right up play 1/10th of the games right here!"

I used to play the shit out of Red Alarm on those things. After a while the adjustable headpiece would flop down from so much use. In retrospect it's easy for us to stand and laugh at the thing, but at the time everybody I knew wanted one.

I know a guy that has the latter one. He was to sell it but he is asking like almost $1000 for it. How much do these run for?

I had a demo unit like the first one which I got from blockbuster video when they gave up on promoting the virtual boy. I sold it probably 4-5 years ago on ebay and the bidding ended around $300.

I have seen the NFR Wario go on eBay for well, well over $100. The price varied, but I have seen it go over 200, and also seen it go for 75-100.

It's defiantly my most unique piece i own. I think it's cool a bit dirty but i guess it was a demo station. Have you guys seen these? I couldn't image what it would be worth.

Locally I saw one sell for $250 last year. Saw one on eBay also around that time sell for $400. So somewhere inbetween those two figures I'd imagine, definitely not anywhere close to $1000.

The small kiosk usually goes for between $200-$300. The large one usually goes for around $500-$600. I'm still looking for a large one that is relatively close to me if anyone has one for sale ;)

And the Wario demo is probably worth $50-$75 on its own

I think you guys are way low. The demand for the larger kiosk is based on the unique 3D light-up marquee and I have never seen one in nice condition with a working marquee go for under $750. In fact, I have recently seen a couple sell on other boards for over $1K. I have no idea what condition the one being described is in, but there is still a ton of demand for that particular kiosk.
