Sell yours and wait for a less expensive one to pop up! That'd be a nice return on investment.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Wonder if the massive BIN+offers helped, someone sees the BIN and thinks they can get a bargain at $1000 off.

The DemoVision box is the awesome part. It includes a full Gameboy chipset that is connected to a NES to display the graphics on screen. It would be possible to put that electronics into a cart to make the NES version of the Super GameBoy....

I don't remember those. It's pretty cool, but not $2.5k cool.

If you could do that. That would be amazing.  I might be willing to let you borrow that from my kiosk if it helped build it.

I believe Player-2 had one of those at his booth at the Expo last September...I thought he was asking something like $400 or $500 for it o_O .  $2500...yeah, that's absolutely nuts for a kiosk.

Wow, I've forgotten about these things. I used to wonder where they went after the Game Boy came to pass...
