I paid $60 for mine boxed with language switch and 5 games. Purchased on Ebay in the US.
It can happen, but usually its around $150.

I guess I am. Those were my selling prices, not buying!

My prices might ALL be low. :mrgreen:

I sometimes found them for $5; console only. About $20-25 with console, 2 controllers and hook ups. These were untested machines that were not always in pristine condition.

Akihabara prices are around $50-100. Even an AES is $100 or less with hookups and a joystick.

Yeah, I understand how he feels because I think 50 to 100 is still a little steep from what I've seen.
