WTB NES Classic
.png)
Does anyone have an NES CLassic they would sell for a reasonable price? I wasn't able to get one durig release like most people and I've tried to find one all over with no luck. I refuse to get one from a scalper because they are completely disgusting and just about the lowest form of life.

I heard some Toys R Us were getting new ones in
Entitlement concerning the nesclassic is repulsive. Anyone who wanted one bad enough got one at retail if they set their alarm early and sat in line at target or other retailers. If you didnt get one you were either not paying attention or lazy about it.
Alas, I use my NES Classic. If you want an empty box I still have that, so if you find one with no box let me know and I can hook you up with a deal (unless someone else sees this and steals it away first).
People who dont get up and grab things in life and then whine and ask for handouts are disgusting and just about the lowest form of life.

Or have jobs, you know to make money.

I like you.

Dude yes. This. 100%.
I'll sell mine for the dollar amount of the time I stood outside to get it - $430.

To be clear, I don't agree with OPs comment about scalpers.
Simply stating some of us have jobs that may have gotten in the way of purchasing the NES classic on launch or when it was restocked at the stores.

agreed. There are absolutely valid reasons one may have missed out. Doesn't mean you can be a whiny bitch about it.
The fact that anyone said anything like what you said Sage is ridiculous. First off who asked for a handout? Isn't the thread WTB? Nothing I said isn't true and is any way acting entitled. I'd pay a fair price for one but scalping a $60 item for $300 is repulsive, and you defending it is also. This is supposed to be a place for people of the hobby to talk and help each other out in a fair manner. You must have been one of the people that have enough free time to go store to store buying up every single one so that no one else could get one. Some people actually work for a living and can't park outside a retail store for hours waiting in line.
Oh and I actually did get up super early to try and get one but guess what, just about everyone else had the same idea and since I actually have a real life, with work and a family, it's not possible to continually do that until one happens to show up out of nowhere.

Mega Tank didn't say that.
I'll reiterate that you'll probably have to state what a "reasonable price" is to you.
I agree. I have tossed around the idea of selling mine but would rather know up front if I was in the same range as the buyer.
Thank you, at least someone gets it.

Consider the context of your OP and you'll realize that you actually set the negative tone for this thread.
Everyone really should quit complaining about not having opportunities to get the NES classic - this is a classic (pun intended) false sense of entitlement. Damn near noone casually got one, and if they did they were extremely lucky...but rather those that worked for them were generally able to get em. Yes, not ideal for an intended retail product, but this is Nintendo folks!
The item is/was limited, not terribly different than the Master Edition of BotW or really any other sought after limited product. Last time I checked, we're not all entitled to "limited" products. It's supply vs demand. As for all the references to "$60", when demand outweights the supply, the MSRP goes out the window.
My apologies mega tank. It was sage.
No worries, but please edit that post as people are already quoting it with my name in it. Thanks!
Anyway, good luck.

I don't know why people think the limited availability was caused by people buying multiples. Walmart, Target, and Best Buy certainly didn't allow that. If someone got lots of units without having multiple individuals wait in line, it's because they had inside access (bad employees or something).
At launch, I lined up 3 hours before midnight to get one at Walmart. My brother lined up with me. I sold the extra to a co-worker that day for $80 (less than $20 is no actual compensation for my effort, but I was happy to help my coworker). At that point, I thoroughly expected Nintendo to eventually catch up with demand.
As Christmas got closer, it was obvious I was going to have a difficult time securing one as a Christmas present for my niece (she asked for it when she saw on Facebook that we were playing one). I lined up for several hours at Best Buy (maybe it was overnight, I don't remember) for one of their announced availability days and got one for my niece. Then lined up overnight at Best Buy again in April and got another. I had planned to keep it new / unused on my shelf or *maybe* open it to have an authentic player-2 controller and sell it with a Retro Receiver NES30 or something. You have *no idea* how much time and effort I spent trying to get my hands on an authentic controller at retail price. It was like trying to find a living, breathing, magical unicorn.
Don't you agree that the effort I put into obtaining my extra unit is worth something to me?
Demand and supply sets the value. If the actual market value is more than you can afford, that's unfortunate. There are lots of things I can't get because I can't afford them. If you can afford it but you're just not willing to spend that much, then apparently many people want it a lot more than you do -- so they deserve to have it. So you're suggesting that an owner selling his should sell it for far less than the actual market value just so you'll be OK with it. He needs to sell it far less than it's actually worth to avoid your condemnation as "the most disgusting human beings." Why is a rightful owner not entitled to the actual market value? The only reprehensible thing I've seen here is Nintendo canceling production when they hadn't even made a dent in worldwide demand. Lying to me repeatedly on the phone about the availability of the extra controller.
Well, I finally decided to sell my new/unopened one 2 days ago so I wouldn't be depriving someone else. I'm obsessive when I do an eBay listing, so I spent hours working on it and set a fixed price of $215 with free shipping. In 10 or 15 minutes, it was sold. Probably barely enough time for it to start appearing in search results. That tells me I must have under-valued it, so apparently I gave someone a deal. I should have done an actual auction so it would tell me what the actual real market value is. I guess giving someone a good deal in a mutual agreement while getting some kind of compensation for my time/effort is "disgusting" to you.
I'll reiterate that you'll probably have to state what a "reasonable price" is to you.
I agree. I have tossed around the idea of selling mine but would rather know up front if I was in the same range as the buyer.
Yeah. You could sell it for way less than fair market value and you're still "disgusting" in his book.
Loxx I'm not saying I'd only pay $60, I never said that. I understand there's a cost associated with limited qtys, I just think the $250-$300 price tag is crazy. Just my opinion, I'm sure you all disagree and I'll hear more about it.
Good call, I'd pay up to about $150, which is more than double the retail price.

I'd suggest changing the title on OP of the thread to simply state that you want an NES Classic for $150 shipped.
Be straight forward and concise, and leave out the drama, and I think you'll have much more luck finding a seller, rather than attracting detractors.
Trust me, I'm a cheapskate.

Why is $160 any less "disgusting" than $200+?
