    Default Miracle Piano

    Went to a second hand store today looking for stuff and i happened to come across a miracle piano system for the nes (no box or hook ups, but w/ manuel). They were asking 100 bucks for it. Is that too much? I really would love it in my room with all my other nintendo stuff, but i'm just not sure if that is a little spendy for one or not. Any help would be great.

    a bit spendy......you might not see one in the wild again, but in the wild you might want all the goods for $100. but maybe it's worth it to you, even if these guys don't think it's worth it you can still buy it

    What's the joy in finding something "in the wild" if you have to pay above ebay prices to get it?

    haggle 'em down, and if they don't budge ...leave it. You are in a good position here. Ask where the missing "?" is, and the missing '??" is? Say you are interested, but they're asking double what an incomplete one is worth. Since you are prepared to leave it behind anyway, you've got zip to lose by trying to haggle.

    that's what i would do. When I do this sort of thing, I 'do' leave it behind when they won't come down. Often , I can try again weeks later, 'cuz it may still be there.

    Answer: owning it.
    I understand that he wants to own one. However, if he can buy one cheaper from ebay then "finding" one for more is useless.

    That's like saying I went to a VG store in Chicago and found a toploader. I paid $140 for it, but at least I found it in the wild.

    for $100 you can usually buy a nice boxed complete one.


    I bought mine off of ebay a few years ago complete with a decent / beat up box for $75.
