Used console prices

[x65943]

I was browsing eBay to find console prices

Nintendo console prices eBay
Famicom $83
NES $120
SNES $120
SNES JR $140
N64 $95
GameCube $100
Wii $90
Wii mini $70
Wii U $130
Switch $110
Switch 2 $400

Gameboy DMG $70
Gameboy pocket $55
Gameboy color $70
Gameboy light $200
Gameboy advance $75
Gameboy advance sp $100
DS phat $50
DS lite $70
DSi $55
DSi XL $110
3ds (old) $115
3ds xl (old) $175
New 3ds $220
Virtual boy $300

My takeaways:

The DS phat is a great value
GB pocket another great value
If you want an NES, just buy a famicom and an adaptor
Original GBA very reasonably priced
The 3ds is somehow worth more than a switch nowadays

Famicom looks much cooler anyway.

PS3 $140
PS4 $120
PS5 $420

Xbox $130
Xbox 360 $100

PS1 is super affordable, also, the Xbox one is basically being given away for free (hyperbole)

These prices are part of why Anbernic and retroid pockets are so popular now.

Famicom looks much cooler anyway.

Famicoms (no clones) are better enough if you want an NES with even more out of it.

But it doesn't come with a 10NES chip, so it's less feature complete

I'd rather have expansion audio than 10NES

You can buy 72-pin to 60-pin cartridge adapters that'll let you plug in an NES cartridge into a Famicom. It doesn't reset the cartridge or affect the way the game plays, it'll still run like you're playing on an North American console.

I'll honestly take the expansion audio, as well, at any day.
