Wow that's the first case I've seen of an a/v toploader at retail even after the 4 years over at that other cracked out site as there were debates about it.

I never had a problem with my NES, at least that someone else didn't make happen to it. Shortly after a move in 1989 was its first death by five year old girl with an orange popsicle with the power turned on after insertion. There were a couple other dumb mishaps too, yet it kept on trucking through when I sold it maybe 3 years ago to a very appreciative guy with his kid he wanted to introduce to the NES. He bought a game bundle off me from craigslist, saw the NES and begged for it so that one lasted with occasional maintenance from 1985-2011 and probably still works.

camaro -- 1.1K is nuts. I would not be surprised at all if it gets well over that. The sharp NES tv when I got it was a deal at $200~ back in 1/2012 and they now sell for $600-700, sometimes higher if you get some fools fighting over it going as high as 1K. Around the time I got the sharp they went in the shape/completeness of mine for 300.
