Picked up this NES Top Loader lot for $150 today.

Some of the highlights are the Top Loader itself, Contra, Yoshi's Island, Mega Man IV, CIB Mega Man, and a copy of Ogre Battle for the PSX.

It was quite a fun trip too! I tried a filafle (sp?) for the first time. It was fantastic.

That is not a simple mod at all :lol: Still, it seems worth looking into.

The only downside is the stick is missing, so just the flat screw is there. So, I hollowed out a small black eraser and screwed it on. Workin like a champ.

Unfortunately, yes. I've been looking out for the composite Top Loader myself and I was hoping I'd luck out with this one. I've been scanning ebay for one a few weeks now, and still no dice.

Yeah, definitely.

I'm probably going to break down and just have the Top Loader modded, but it would be nice to have a composite Top Loader as a collector's piece. It might just be one of the rarest pieces of Nintendo hardware.

Maybe, but at least $5 isn't completely terrible. I actually talked them down from $70 :shock: . I was impatient and bought from the only pawn shop with a game section open on Sunday. Probably some of those at other shops could be $2 or so each, but I'm still happy. I got most of the X-Box games I want.
I would say you paid fair value at 50. Your resale margin would be negligible but for your own collection - nice titles.
Yeah they are for me. I wouldn't buy common X-Box titles for resale unless it was for a lot and I got the items EXTREMELY cheaply.

I didn't have an X-Box or Gamecube, but I just couldn't resist the pretty silver/crystal colours.

AV NES top loaders were never sold at retail.

Yup, I'm aware of the fact that AV Top Loaders were only available by buying the Top Loader and complaining to Nintendo regarding the poor video quality.
