NES Model 2

I saw one of these at a local game store and I don't think it has a controller with it, cosmetically in good shape. They were asking $50. I am debating on getting it but iffy on worth.

That's about what it's worth, or maybe a little less if it doesn't have a controller. It's better than buying one online and then having to ship it, IMO.

Yup. $50-60 with cords and controllers. Talk him down ten bucks since you have to get a controller. If you've never had a toploader get it. I love mine. Too much.

Amazing how much these have dropped in price in the past 10 years.

No controller or no dogbone controller? With no controller at all, I would also try to get it for a little less. If it has the original NES controller, $50 doesn't seem too bad. I've found two in the wild within the last year and a half (both had the dogbone controller); one was around $45 and the other for $70. The second price came with a few games that made the price more worthwhile.

Indeed. I remember these going for $100 no problem.

OP, just keep in mind that you're taking a hit in picture quality with the toploader. RF out only. Unless you intend to mod it, of course.

I bought mine on ebay a couple of years ago. It was a guy in the same city as me and it had a $50 bin with a controller and all hookups and no shipping fee (since I picked it up) so I jumped on it. I remember them going for $100+ so I thought I got a steal at the time.

I'd imagine it's because, with the rise in HDTVs, RF has become much less acceptable in the last 10 years?
And/or the rise in clone consoles since they became legal.

There are a select few that do have AV output instead of RF but they're very rare, basically if anyone complained about the RF only output they could mail it back to Nintendo and the board would be swapped with an AV one. I'm just hoping to come across one of those eventually.
