I was bored the 21st and as there are no old video game stores around me I decided to hit up the 5 or 6 pawn shops close to me.
The first 3 didnt have any old cart based games so I moved on. the 4th pawn shop I stopped at had a few old games but nothing to gawk at I think I purchased 5 for $4 3 sports for nes one space shooter and a platformer and moved on.
The fifth and last one of the day had a decent shelf with atari, sega, and nintendo carts and a few shelves of xbox and playstation and wii. But the prices were bad $10 a cart, $10 ps2, wii, and original xbox, $25 ps3, xbox360 and $50 anything else. After searching through it all looking to see if there were any good games (there weren't) I turned around to walk out the door and on a rack in with the dvd players and such there was something red that cought my eye, it was a Virtual boy that looked like it was just removed from the box with 3 bundled games. So I grabbed it up want to the counter and asked the price on it. $75. I woulda bought it right there but i wanted to play it so bad I asked if I could test it first. They pulled out a box of batteries and started looking for the 6 double a's to turn it on.. They could only find 5. lol 1 short so I said how much for it untested and the guy came back "50 bucks out the door". DEAL!! So I purchased it and went straight home to fire it up to see if it worked, but in the perfect condition it was in there was no doubt in my mind. I fired it up and perfect sound perfect images perfect everything!!!
Only complaint was that it didn't have the box lol.
