When did Complete VB's become expensive?

[SegaAges]

I was on eBay a few weeks ago, and you could get a complete vb system for 50. What the hell happened here? Did I miss something?

I am hoping this is just some stupid newbs bidding, because I need a complete VB system. I mean, check this out:

It is annoying me that people bid so high on that, when you can get 12 out of the 14 US games for 20 or less complete.

I don't collect for the VB so I don't know about prices. But I don't see many somplete (mint) Virtual Boys. I plan on getting one soon though, so I hope there not this expensive.

Weren't these things going for $25 or so clearanced at the end?

Probably but don't all console get clearanced at bargain basement prices at the end?

I bought my VB from the local game store, and it included everything (AC adapter), for 30. It came in the Blockbuster case, and now that it is going for 150, it is going to be hard to find a boxed VB

That price trend on ebay has been going up for the last few months.
I hope it goes down as well, because I would like to own a complete one myself ;) I have seen them go for 120 alot lately. @_@
