I posted a rare Virtual Boy display kit on eBay

[AshleyAshes]

I don't really expect anyone from here to bid on it, it's apparently rare enough that it should bring in some decent money. I found a concluded eBay auction from 2011 for the same kit, minus AC adaptor, in unknown working order, for $765, so I imagine this should at least be comparable. But why not post it? It's a cool piece of gaming history and it's sale should get some attention.

Also... Having only tried it for thirty seconds, the damn thing is awful and I fully understand the VirtualBoy's failure in the market place. :X

Oh.
My.
Fucking.
God.

Nostalgia, eye bleeding nostalgia, but nostalgia none the less. Red Alarm was the shit, probably the only good game for that thing aside from the tennis one.

Here my friend was talking about wanting to have one as a part of his collection, i knew they were rare as hell but damn thats pricey. Good luck with your sale!

Well it's pricey because it's the store display and also working. That's pretty rare. I mean, VBoys aren't exactly common to begin with...

I know, i work retail. I sometimes think about taking home some of the Tony the Tiger/Kelloogs display units we have. I wish i worked in a game store or multi-purpose store that sells games.

Oh yes...That abomination. Playing that monster is the best way to get yourself a migraine. Not a bad price, I may put in a bid for it.

I dunno, Red Alarm just felt really disorienting myself. I was like 'Neat it does power on! Ooooooo 3D... ...FUCK THIS SHIT.'

I think it's cool to be involved in a sale and get to touch this sorta piece of video game history. I mean, it's not an NTSC copy of Stadium Events or anything, I'd be shocked if it clears $1000, but it's pretty cool still. ...But I did not enjoy PLAYING the thing at all.

Yea this is one of those things thats cool to say "hey, i have one!". I remember AVGNs review on it. Good god what was Nintendo thinking.
