Kwy hah nice plan I like that. And i've not seen scum selling them for $60 locally (or at all, smaller area I guess.) I have seen them still in the $40s on paid copies on ebay though, personally I don't think they're worth much north of $25 shipped given whoever got it off aliexpress deserves at least a few bucks for their efforts.
The Retro Freak I don't have, don't want it either. I've read mixed reviews and it's just a R5 anyway more or less, but it can't run NES games without a 60 to 72 pin adapter, and also you can't use your own controllers without buying a module to use them which is stupid. Though more stupid, I've read reports of the system overheating or glitching from heat because that controller module snaps in place over a big air vent that belches out system heat which seems like a really dumb design flaw too.
As it is I'm thinking of selling my REtron5 as I don't use it. I prefer gameboy on gameboy, bought a Genesis last november 1st/2nd and would rather use that hardware instead. I think I said it in here, somewhere at least, maybe racketboy where I post more now, but it has a couple dozen hours use as most after that whole swap out system drama over a year ago and I still have all the box and paperwork for it stored away too so it's like new. It's not like I couldn't plug my top loader and snes back into the TV I have anyway.
