Don't get me wrong, around here they go for the same but I went in expecting to walk out empty handed lol. I almost always go in hoping to find a decent book/movie/or game for cheap so I already set my expectations for like $5-10 bucks being spent.
But I think an old gamer turned his stuff over or a very upset family member/significant other because there was also a complete sega genesis, dreamcast, wii, gamecube w/ wavebird controller and a couple snes and genesis games. I almost bought the gc also lol just for the controller.

Perhaps this is a later model and they fixed the yellowing issues at that point?

Actually it's the older model if I recall correctly. I've have/had a couple of them.

I've got a few games for SNES that I've got duplicates of if you're interested, I can PM you the titles later beings am at work now, but I do know I have a super game boy, super mario world and the lion king off hand.
Finally got my copy in!
Got a bunch of other stuff but don't have it here for pictures.

I received a package today, so I'm pretty sure mine is in as well, but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

It was everything in the picture including the av cable and power cable...super clean with just a thin layer of dust on top and very minor yellowing on the controller ports...the inside of the system was just as clean...barely any dirt.
It ended up being $40 which was a bit more then I was looking to spend that day but I figured I wouldn't get another chance like this...especially since some guy saw it before me but he "refused to pay retail on it".

Looks good!
TDIRunner:
Yep, this arrived today. Too bad, I don't own a Vita. :P
And a few more local game store pickups.
And a few empty cases.
