Even though that one is an obvious fake, I've long speculated that while SE is rare it isn't anywhere near as rare as people make it out to be. It's a perpetual hype machine, every time one sells for some astronomical amount of money, it brings the demand for it up. The reality is, whether there was a recall or not, there is no way Nintendo would have manufactured less than a few hundred of these at the very least as it simply wouldn't have been financially lucrative otherwise. I think that as it becomes more and more known to the common person, we will see a larger amount of them pop up over the years. Not enough to fully meet the demand necessarily but certainly enough that one will be able to be had for under a thousand dollars again one day. The fact that MRN's copy and the CIB that Angel sold on ebay both popped up in a relatively close time frame indicate to me this is going to start happening sooner or later.
Just because 2 showed up in a few months, doesn't mean anything. We could go on a 10 year dry spell
The only way one of these is going to be readily found for under 1,000 CIB is if someone finds a pallet of these.
