      If you can manage to find a place that has one, they’re usually selling for $200+ now. I’m pretty sure I can get ebay chinese replicas for like $50 though, but there are some games they won’t play.

        The N64 had a $200 launch price, which is pretty much $400 now. So nobody is making money from holding onto their N64. Hrm, maybe I should pick one up.

        Prices have come down in the last year. I see several on eBay listed tested/working for around $60. One even comes with a controller. Shopgoodwill.com has similar prices when they’re available. Prices for auction items with less than 10hrs look very reasonable.

        Wait, what? I just bought my younger brother an n64 with an expansion pack, rumble pack, and Majora’s Mask and OoT for Christmas, and all together that only cost 180$. All legit copies and hardware. Made double and triple sure.

        Are people just not hitting the “sort lowest to highest” option on auction sites? Or is this a new development in the last few months?

          No, it looks like prices have come way down in the past few months. Last time I checked was a year+ ago. My information just wasn’t up to date.

            Ah, that makes sense. Consoles do tend to spike in price at the height of their nostalgia wave. Probably got boosted up for a while by the rumors of an N64 mini not panning out, and instead being presented with the sub par switch online expansion. Probably created a lot of demand for the real thing.
