Huh?

You have to cut one leg of one chip to make your NES play games from all around the world as long as they are NES cart shaped ie no Famicon carts.

I've yet to check or do so, but I definitely will when the time calls for it. My collection is still entirely US at this point.

inorite? I would have paid $70, tops. But $71? What a noob.

Seriously, if he's happy with his purchase, what's the big deal? I've spent more money and gotten far worse out of it in my life. For example, I paid the Founder's subscription to Hellgate: London. I still feel like an idiot for doing that, and that was almost four years ago.

Woah, kinda sounds a little rude there. The big deal is that I might as well sell my stuff for $70 if people are willing to pay for that much. I don't understand why, when at salvation armies there are always nintendo peripherals for $1.99 each and systems usually for $4.99. I guess I am spoiled with the stores near me, but I would have never thought that someone would buy a front loader NES for $70+. Top loader (toaster) version, yeah I can see that, but not the original front loader. If he is happy with that purchase, awesome, however Ebay is even cheaper than that!

It is somewhat impolite to twist the knife and then pour salt in the wound.
