I remember when the NES Mini first came out a few years ago I was on Nextdoor and some lady was trying to sell off 5 of them for twice what they were worth. Several people commented on her post saying not to buy from scalpers, and she kept getting upset saying she "bought them for her son who didn't want them", but then wouldn't say anything else when someone asked why she thought her son needed 5 of them when he apparently hadn't even wanted one in the first place lol

i was lucky enough to pay MSRP for both models, these are pretty decent for playing most original games. the original controllers made by nintendo make it even better.

scalpers are pathetic beings who ruin everything for everyone. i will never forgive them for what happened during the GPU thing.

Technically she was selling for twice the retail price. An item is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
