It's not mine, I was watching it since it was posted and the seller just dropped the Buy It Now. The shipping is too much but still, thought someone might be interested. :)

It's a very sad day when famiclones have driven the price of a top loader that low. If I didn't already have three of them, I'd buy it myself.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I was tempted myself but already have two right now.
I remember back in the day, these sold for $100 or more. Supply and demand.

Too bad it is only the top-loader and not the complete package. Doesn't this style of NES come with a redesigned "Dog Bone" style controller?

I sold my top loaded with two 'old style' controllers and four common games, along with a AC adapater, for $70 plus shipping to a DP member last year. Sucker sold in 5 minutes. LOL

A year ago and I would have bought it for that price too. I was probably cursing myself for not being in that first five minutes in fact.

Add me to the list of people who are glad they got rid of their top loader while the price was high. I sold mine about a year and a half ago for around $100 shipped.

I paid about $80 for mine about a year ago, I feel like such a loser now that they're so cheap.

Last I checked those were still available NEW SEALED from Nintendo for $10 or $15

That's where I got mine, they were $15 each plus shipping. I think I got two for around $35 shipped.

Well thankfully I let go of these before the drop in demand.
