So...are Konami's Hyperboy expensive or something?

A local thrift store got six or seven of these things boxes and in perfect condition but they sell for like 130€. Is this normal? Any reason why these are so popular?

They are "arcade style" controllers for your Gameboy. A really cool niche item. They routinely sell for $100 USD on Ebay, so 130 Euro is a little over priced in my opinion.

I mean, you can get one brand new from Videogamesource in Florida for $110 shipped:

I have seen people mod them with better components and put in a Gameboy modded with a SP giving them a true portable mini arcade cabinet.

I think Noise reviewed one of these Hyperboy's once. Check his blog.

I don't think I reviewed it as much as said "here it is." Haha. I got rid of mine a while back. It's a nice collector's piece, but I didn't use it for more than a couple minutes.
