There's a virtual boy for sale at the store down the street for $80.00. Is that too much for one?

No, you can get one from ebay for ALOT cheaper.

Bob,

Not to be a jerk or anything, but have you tried going to eBay, checking out the ended auctions, and getting an average ending price? That'd be the first place I'd go for a quick on-line "rule of thumb" as to what the going rate might be for something. Or, go to the "Search" function here at DP and type in "virtual boy price". That might open up a few threads where this has been discussed.

And if you really wanted us to give you a quick price, you need to say more than "Virtual Boy." Does it work? Come with games? Which ones? Stand included? AC adapter? Boxed? It could make the difference between "$15 or less" to "better mortgage the house."

Sorry for the rant, but pricing requests are a pet peeve of mine, especially for something easily researched like a bare Virtual Boy system. Obscure stuff? Sure, call upon the DP mavens. But other stuff? You can do the footwork yourself with little effort.

And the same goes for a whole lot of other folks who have been pricing very common items/games. Please try to find this out on your own before posting a "How much izziss?" thread. Thank you.

I paid $50 for my VB with I think 4 games or so (no boxes).

I just wish I had the AC adaptor. :o

bought mine at some pawn shop with the stand unboxed w/ wario something for 20$. Played it once that day and the smell of the visor thing made me sick. Guess it was from sitting in that stinky shop for so long...nothing great. Defenitely not worth 80 dollars.
