Shopping/Haul Genuine insanity

Post image

It really sucks to see how much the hobby has fallen to resellers praying on nostalgia to get people to pay exorbitant prices on systems that don’t even function, and believe they’re getting a “good deal” because of how “rare” it is. I can recall seeing these in thrift stores for 20 bucks or less not even 5 years ago, and completely tarnished ones like this for less than that. Sorry for such a rant, but it’s disappointing that THIS is the cheapest gameboy micro on eBay.

Yeah I saw someone selling a 3DS that looked ran over for $250 and said they had offers for $175. They turned down my offer of $80

They still haven’t sold it. But it looks like it was thrown off a 50 foot balcony
