I just got a fully working virtual boy with all parts and 10 games for $20 on eBay! There was a spelling error in the name so nobody else found it so nobody could bid on it!

I got one for very cheap on ebay a couple of years ago, but I guess the seller didn't get the price he wanted and said he dropped it by accident and would refund my money. But it all worked out because I ended up getting 2 one with the box and paperwork for cheap on craigslist. I don't think the kid knew they were worth money because I got them for $40.00 and they came with 4 games if I remember. He was surprised I wanted them and just wanted to get rid of them. And my girl always looks for misspelled auctions for good deals. Just keep typing what your looking for using different misspellings shes really good at it. I find that most people hit the letter next to the letter they mean to hit on the keyboard and don't noticr. And some people are just horrible spellers.

Wait a sec, outside the obvious collection value, was there anything worthwhile on the Virtual Boy? I remember playing it a bit in a store when it first released, and was very unimpressed.
