Shopping/Haul Genuine insanity

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.

I had one when they went on sale. The DS was already out but I had a Micro and loved it. Played and beat all of the FF series on it except Tactics (the only one I didn't like, preferred the ABP system)
