I'd advise against it, but he can do whatever he wants with it if he buys it. Or maybe a VB works better after being submerged in water. I doubt anyone has tested this theory.

He meant the old joke, "Instant X, just add water".

As for the OP, you'll pretty much never find a good working unrefurbished Virtual Boy. Even oven fixed ones don't last that long. My suggestion is to find a "broken" Virtual Boy on purpose because you'll pay less and then have RunnerPack (PVB) or Tiptopjames (NA) solder the ribbon cables for you. A solder fixed VB is an eternal VB.
I knew what he meant. Dry humor rarely translates well on the internet. I don't know why I try.

How far do you want to take it? I have a CIB VB with every US game and a couple JP games for sale right now. Instant collection!
Does he need to add water?

I've only ever seen broken VB's at the flea's.

Yeah, I might just stick to buying from the internet. ]]> Recommended places to buy a Virtual Boy? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=130554 2014-07-08T21:19:33 -05.00 _kanchi 13 Originally posted by: tigertowngames

Flea Market would most likely be cheaper, but you could walk around for years without finding one. Going online would be more expensive, but you could have one in your hands in the matter of a few weeks.

Trade offs I guess.  ]]>
