I'm just curious as to why anyone would even think they want to buy this. Or why anyone would want to try to sell a piece of cardboard that's been drawn on. Can anyone educate me on this?
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

 :o I thought that no body was going to bid on it, now I'm curious to know or ask those people what are they thinking or why they are bidding.

Considering it's an obvious troll listing, those are most likely troll bids as well.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I've said it before, but I will only buy one if I can walk into a store any time after release and pick one up at normal price.

I will not pre-ordre one.
I will not wait in line or camp out in front of a store for one.
I will not buy from a reseller.

If those end up being the only way to get it, I just won't have one.  I have an original NES with a BLW and an Everdrive N8.  I can reliably play any NES game on original hardware, so I don't need this outside of the "it would be cool have have" factor. 

Regardless, I do want a few controllers.  For some reason, I don't see those being hard to get.  Not too worried there. 

I totally agree with this. Plus, that plug-and-play console ONLY supports 30 games. It has no way of adding additional games.

Some idiot on NintendoAge will bid on it. Those morons love to spend hundreds of dollars on "Limited Edition" repros, promo material and other such nonsense and then sell it around to each other on that website, like some dumb pyramid scheme. One of them would buy this and pay to get it "graded" and then they'll all pass it around on the forums as rare.  ;D  It sounds like I'm joking, but I'm really not either. LOL!

Why call NintendoAge members names though? I have no real attachement to that forum but from my experience they seem very reasonable. Some people like to spend high dollars on the stuff they like, so what? They're not hurting you and it's no different from people buying prenium ink and paper to print worthless covers(nothing bad with that either, I printed many too). As long as you're not speaking of retail accurate repro boxes/labels they will leave you alone. Why can't we all get along?

He may have been ruder than needed, but to be honest, I agree with him. Also, I understand your point about the covers, but they actually provide information on the game which is located within the case (and the case provides protection). They have a lot more real function than a lot of the crap people pay for :P.

...which is your opinion, some people could say covers add nothing to a game and prefer to buy the actual box/case. We all have different points of view! The way Too Beaucoup voiced his opinion just rubbed me the wrong way. I am thankful of you polite reply though, nothing against you. :)
