    Im just happy with this baby!

    It was sold as NEW, still it was opened, I guess they wanted to test it before shipping. $140 O_oa was it a good buy?

    $140 shipped?

    ... considering how rough it can be to get a hold of ANY display model, that's pretty spiff~!

    How much did the seller spend on shipping? If it does not appear on the shipping label, what is the sellers zip code, method of shipping, and weight of the package? Those appear on the label.

    Seller must have taken a huge hit on shipping with that, I presume.

    This guy has been selling these for over a year now. Unfortunately, it's just one piece of a bigger display. There is a mounting base, as well as a rear enclosure that this "blade" display snaps into which is not included. That's why they haven't been selling very quickly.

    I was just gonna say that. Unfortunately your unit is missing some parts.

    No, that's a mounting bracket to attach it to that larger display shown in the black and white picture which was specific to Game Crazy. Nintendo did make similar displays for shelves and other small spaces for stores like Toys R Us and Target, but the one being discussed here was specifically made for that larger metal display from Game Crazy. That's why collectors aren't scooping these up. At $140 it's unfortunately overpriced because it's basically useless and won't stand on its own.

    You can always mount it on the wall or any other place, you just have to improvise

    Shhhhhh! You'll burst his bubble! He just came here for virtual high-fives and pats on the back for buying something online, not reality!

    I remember when those used to line the shelves of every gaming department. But yeah it's missing the back piece which held it into place on the stores glass display kiosk.

    That can't possibly be true. This same seller has been listing multiples of this very item for over two years and very few have sold. If this was worth $140, don't you think collectors would have scooped them all up by now? In my opinion, this is worth roughly what a NOS GBA without the box would go for and maybe a little extra for the graphics and light bar.
