There's NO WAY this is worth a red cent more than any of Custom NES Guy's stuff, and IMO worth less than an original console. This is a solution for a beat-up cracked top or a missing door, NOT an upgrade. And it should be priced as such.
Might as well take 1/4 of that asking price (more like begging price), buy yourself a Messiah or FC Twin or something, and the rest on some GOOD games. I feel this is a waste and pretty ridiculous.
Plus you know he's making money selling all the doors off the systems he hacks the tops off of for this mod.
I aggree that it's overpriced, but I think you're way off saying its a "waste and pretty ridiculous". I agree, it's not collectible, but it's more than just a replacement for a cracked or broken piece. It looks cool. It's a aesthetic upgrade. It's in the same category as Custom_NES_GUY's stuff. It snazzes up your NES. I think they look great, although I wouldn't buy one unless they had a matching bottom piece as well.
