Well, I just got my japenese one, but I want an american aswell. How much should I expect to pay? There's only two auctions going on eBay at the moment, one being a sealed NGPC with a Buy It Now price of $229.90, which seems kinda too much.

$25-$40
I think I paid about $40 for mine in a lot with other stuff (complete in box, too) within the last year or so, so, caveat emptor.
Around 40$ for a sealed one was an average price during last year.
I bought my aqua blue NGPC CIB for $35 about 3 years ago. They never appear to change much in value and truthfully with the solid games that you can buy $40 is a good ceiling price for complete and $25 for a lonely unit. Anything less is a good buy and anything more should come with games (Clam-shelled preferred ).

Also, watch the color of the unit and box variants. Some colors (clear) are a bit harder to come by than others and usually can snatch a few more $$. Not a huge difference, but something to bear in mind. Pass that $229 by, there are plenty more to be had at much better prices.
Well for US systems there are really only 2 different boxes. The stand alone 'Orange' box (and its burst-less variant, but thats a very very small point that 99.9% of NGPC people don't even know/care about) and the Sonic bundled ones. Two of those Sonic bundles are quite common and the other one is hard to get. Personally I had a hard time getting one of the most common system colors (blue) in a stand alone box.
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.
