Japanese VB Display on eBay

[l_lamb]

It's in the US and pretty expensive, but if anyone's interested here's a link:

Cool! If you want pics be sure to click on the "Supersize picture" link to get a larger picture.

I doubt these are terribly rare, but the fact that it's a display helps justify that price. Still high; I'd say at least a third more to double what it's really worth.

Yeah, that's way too expensive for a VB Display unit.

I dunno. Last year I saw one of the small US countertop displays sell for almost $1,000 and the medium sized one for almost $1,500...so I could see this going for at least the $600 opening bid. I know I'd bid on it if I had the extra cash.

I thought you would already have one norkusa, and find it for pennies. ;)

Shouldnt this be in the ebay section?

[portnoyd]

I still don't agree with so much for a VB display unit. It's not like only a few stores had these units...

Exactly. Unless Nintendo smashed most of them, there should be a ton lying around. Now if they show up on eBay is another thing, but still, a dedicated collector should be able to find one and not have to pay nearly that much.

[Sylentwulf]

Actually, retail stores ARE supposed to smash them when they're done, At Target, all the VG store displays were supposed to be destroyed, then sent to the dump.

[Ed Oscuro]

So what does that leave us with? A $300 markup just 'cause the thing's from Japan? Geez.

I'm Interersted..But I'm not Bidding $600.00 on it..

If it was $300.00 maybe I'd bid..

But it really just looks like a piece of plastic bottom is the major part here..
