Anyone on here selling these? Looking for one. Yes, I've checked Kijiji and Amazon... Just checking here cause I'd rather be ripped off by someone I know, lmao.

But seriously... Looking for one - unopened.

Thanks.

Good luck. Heard about stores with huge lineups. Only to have like 5 to sell. It's so stupid that they have been hyping this for a year and they can't make enough for demand.
Are you lookin for as a gift or personal?
Pretty much any old game is available via the internet. Guy I work with got one of those blueberry processor things. (I think that's what they are called) and set it up for his nephew with a ton of old Nintendo games. I think it was cheaper than buying the actual thing.

^And a huge swath of people who grew up playing those games. Most of my friends, born in the late 70's and early 80's, are planning on picking one up.

Got one. Unopened, $100 from a guy selling one local to me. He bought it for a gift but that person already had one.

I had one on order back when they were first coming out...but than cancelled it when I realized you couldn't actually play the games you already had but only what was pre loaded on the system...guess I should have kept it, probably could have made a little money of someone LOL

At least you figured it out.

The new 'console' isn't much bigger than the old cartridges.

Why not just get a Raspberry Pi, and install Retropie?

So it looks like I won't ever be getting one. I think that by keeping it so limited and getting rid of it when demand was still high Nintendo has killed a huge amount of goodwill.

Would love to understand the Nintendo logic "Hey we've got a product so hot stores can't keep it in stock for long and people are reselling for more than we originally offered it for. Lets discontinue it!"
