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!

Best luck I've had at the Goodwill two blocks from my house was Back to the Future 2 & 3 for NES. They only thing they've been good for is $1 CDs and costume supplies. Even with a debit card there are certain things I can't buy online due to lack of paypal/things with my mother/student account/etc. I settled for the ripoff retail store with graduation cash. Not my proudest moment but eeeh I wanted it.

Well did it atleast have a new 72pin connector? I've seen refurbished bundles on ebay for about 50bucks. So if you got the new 72 pin and a nice grey system I say it may have been worth the price.

I don't think so. This one's pretty shoddy so I've gotta open it up again and clean it out. Anything I should keep in mind about this thing?

Damn, well can you order one? Its like 5 bucks and it makes a world of a difference. Other than that the nes isn't complex. Off the top of my head there should be about 5-6 screws on the bottom, and like 6-8 on the inside aluminum covering. Canned air for the inside and soap&water and an old toothbrush for the shell.
