Hmm, that's the same model of Sharp Twin that I'll be getting soon. It's slightly more expensive than mine was ($265.859 USD for this one, $245 for mine) and mine's coming absolutely mint with the box in perfect shape. On the other hand, it has some games. I think this might be a good deal for anybody interested, but remember that where I buy stuff (gamechoice.com.hk) isn't EXACTLY the bargain bin of the world, and yet their used black (with red trim) Sharp Twin model is $169. It has exactly the same functionality (bar perhaps some oddity of the design that I've never heard of) as the model being auctioned here. A Famicom Jr. is $99; to use the disk games you need a Famicom Disk System which shouldn't be more than $100, but I wouldn't be surprised if you can't find it cheaper. If you can get both of those for under $100 each, however, you save over $60 off the auction price you see here.
On the other hand, I bought Gamechoice's last Sharp Twin of this type, so this might be your only choice if you want one of this type. It's certainly the only one I'm aware of at the moment that's easily accessible, but I haven't been watching eBay.
It'll play BOTH Famicom Disk System games AND Famicom carts, which is awesome. Also awesome is the fact that this is the good looking model, whereas the two people usually think of (black/red and red/black) are pretty lame in comparison.
