In this thread we all want to post cool, spectacular, noteworthy, jaw-dropping […] Virtual Boy auctions on ebay, Yahoo or any other site…

At first here are two auctions on Yahoo Japan (Always cooool stuff on there!) for the japanese Nintendo Store Display:

(12) Non-Working Nintendo Virtual Boy Headsets Only
Buy-it-Now for $72.

The shipping cost is rather ridiculousness. $217.15

Otherwise, it would be a rather cheap way to get some units that need a few ribbon cable fixes. He listed them all as having display “issues”.

Huh — my page says $195 shipping. Still, it would be tempting to travel to Michigan to pick it up. Wonder how much a “non-rev” plane ticket would be?

Bet you’re right, but they’re all ribbon cable issues curable with a pinch of solder…

The shipping to my USA address is $36.61.

This would definitely be a great purchase for a USA resident who is confident in his soldering skills. You could easily resell each of these units for at least $40.00 each after you solder-fix them, especially if you advertise that they are solder-fixed units that should have no display problems ever afterwards. This would definitely be a great service to all of us VB fans who aren’t so confident in our soldering skills.

He musta modified the shipping; it now says “$39”, but it’s sold.

My solder skills are excellent, been building stuff for years. Maybe some more will surface.

I bought this lot. I noticed it on eBay last night and noticed his description said ground shipping, but it was listed as USPS express (1 day). I sent him a note and he fixed it so I picked it up. If he wouldn’t have I may have driven there myself – he’s only a couple hours from me. As it was shipping was a little under $25 to my address.

Cool! So, are you planning to solder-fix each of them?

Yes, that’s the plan. I actually received them Friday already and have the first two sets taken out. I had a bunch from before this lot even so have quite a few to do.

Anyone looking to buy a Virtual Boy Pen?

Not only cool but also extremely rare. I am highly confident that these pens were never mass produced for the market but rather were made on a very limited basis for certain employees of Nintendo, or maybe they were handed out at one of the few tradeshows where the Virtual Boy had an appearance. Either way, these almost never appear for sale online anywhere, that’s for sure.

Just a hunch but contact the seller and see how they got them and if they know of someone who worked for Nintendo in “95” contact them and ask if they have any info about the lost 2 games.

That’s a great idea.

RE “pen” — it’s 36 bucks with 5-1/2 days left; it’s gonna clear a hundred bucks. And you couldn’t carry it, either lose it or wear off the logo.

I think we should make our own and pass them around…

When I saw that pen I thought it looked familiar. I looked though all my pens and found this one which is absolutely identical except for the color and VB branding. Not sure if anyone else finds this interesting. Might be smart to look out for reproductions.

But to much $ for me 🙁

So glad I don’t have the collector bug, $200 for a badge just seems crazy to me.

Wow… the seller goes from trying to sell that button for $200.00 to creating a no reserve auction starting at $0.99 in the space of only a couple weeks. I wonder what caused the major change of mind?

About $295 after conversion. Even with international express mail costs the price is still a great deal.

Yes, the auction is for all 40 together, not just one.
