Yeah, I've seen a few of those on various websites over the years. Neat. Worth $400? No.

Wow, I've never even heard of that before. Pretty cool but, like OGTL said "not worth $400". I don't even know if I would give $100 for that.

Uh, I might give 100, considering that the original NES came out for one hundred and ten dollars when it came out...

People on a forum where many collect NES stuff should understand why it's worth $400 or more. Assuming this thing is legit and all. It's rare, it has value to some people. Not that I would shell out the cash for it, but surely it's understandable that someone will.

It's actually pretty cool looking, though I was hoping it would have the NES colour theme.

Actually, I think it was something like $250 US

Also, I agree with Mr. DNA. it's easily worth $400, You're going to pay $100 for a TV that size anyway, an NES at a non-garage sale price is about $50, the rest of the value is easily filled in with awesome points and collector value.

That is, if it were listed at $400, where did we get that number anyway? The auction has a Buy it Now of $249.99...

Maybe it had $150 dollars for shipping. Huh? Huh?

I think it came from the fact that shipping is $75, so it's $325 USD, which is currently about $380 CAD. OGTL is Canadian, so I guess he converted it.

That is what I meant when I said "I wouldn't give $100 for it." Not that it is not worth that.

I don't see how that matters :? Would you give $299.99 for a PS2 or $199.99 for a Game Cube??

I heard of that before. :)

IMO, it is worth the money, at least for a collector. It's really very rare.
Digitpress lists it as scarcity 6 and 100$ though. I don't think that's right...

That's very nice. If I could afford it, I would snap it up in a second.

Well... $375 is 211 GBP I think a bottle is about 10 GBP so I could buy 21 bottles, enough to last me until lunch, or enough to bathe in :P
