In this thread we all want to post cool, spectacular, noteworthy, jaw-dropping […] Virtual Boy auctions on ebay, Yahoo or any other site…

At first here are two auctions on Yahoo Japan (Always cooool stuff on there!) for the japanese Nintendo Store Display:

Now what’s all this, then? A JP information sheet or something?

That is a Japanese flyer about the Virtual Boy system:

And is it really worth that much?

Heck no.

Okay, how come I have never heard of this?
I must be out of the loop!

Holy shit! They are insane asking that much. Insecticide is a homebrew title. Uncle Tusk just recently released a batch of them too.

That seller always lists with ridiculous prices.

Yeah the Uncle Tusk batch is the only batch of these, this would be from that batch. Just somebody *really* stretching to try to capitalize on the VB completionist collector’s market. Since they likely got their copy through this site, there’s a good chance they’re reading this post. This message is for them:

Thanks for jacking up the perceived value of so many of the items I own, it’s truly nice of you to selflessly post these items on your own time knowing there’s no chance they’ll ever sell. Keep up the good work.

$1300???? Wow, some people.. Dude’s trying to pull a Hyper Fighting or something. Unfortunately for him Insecticide doesn’t quite have the brand recognition of Street Fighter 2.

I actually don’t think that this seller plans to sell any of the Virtual Boy items that he has listed on ebay. I think he just likes to use ebay to display his Virtual Boy collection. I’m pretty sure that some of the Virtual Boy items he currently has listed were first listed back when I first got interested in the Virtual Boy in 2011, and over time, their prices have actually gone up with relistings rather than down, just in case someone might actually be tempted to buy them.

Jeez, I get tired of relisting items after 2 or 3 times, haha.

Well, more importantly, where do I get one at a reasonable price?
Totally missed this one!
Hopefully Uncle Tusk puts a few more upI happen to see them in time, lol!

Shooting a message asking to let you know if/when others might be available might be a start. I think that’s how I got mine :p

Not sure I’d pay $10 for a page from a magazine…

Anybody know what magazine it’s from?

Agreed. I plan on doing a mock up of the controller with my spare one so I can have it without having to sell my soul for one lol

At the very least, we’ve got some high-quality pics of the early controller model for free.
