These are not just CIB, they are NOS :eek 2: Not 1 fingerprint, scratch, smudge, or anything. The cords are bagged, the papers pristine :D !! They were found in a local record resale store, which is usually insanely overpriced, but these were actually CHEAP O_O !! I bought 1 last night figuring i was really just getting a decent box, but when i got home and realized it was new...I went directly back and bought the other 2...whew :-P .
One for me, one for ebay, and one for trade ;)

Nice Find..

For some reason I come accross these a lot..Boxed/unused.
At Flea Markets/Garage Sales.

I have several of them around here that I ..have to admit I paid less than $7.00 for..
But, I would of paid $7.00 for them each if that was the asking price...

Congrats!!!

Just to give you an idea of how insanely weird this record shops pricing was, next to these 3 boxed advantages was an unboxed advantage for $12.95 O_O O_O

I see the avitar just fine, but ive got nasty little red X's where these pictures should be, that and a lack of description in the entire thread so as to have ZERO clue to what was found except for the fact that its a controller of some kind....

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Maybe it has something to do with how TRU was blowing them out a while back for $5 each? I think it was '98 or '99....I bought every one they had. Got at least 9 or 10 of them but I'm down to my last 3 now. Anybody need one?

No wonder the pics, AND his avatar aren't showing. They're freaking hosted on Fortune City! x_x

I can't get them to show even by pasting the URL. Screw it. Fortune City can go to hell. :(

NES advantages are usually a dime a dozen brand new on ebay.
http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResult&ht=1&sortproperty=metaendsort&query=nes+advantage&?sspagename=ADME%3aB%3aTB2%3aUS%3a2&from=R18&completedonly=1

Granted, that's a general search, and one of them went for $22.00, they ARE pretty common to find boxed complete new.
