Nintendo Game Boy Color Kiosk Store Display Worth?
« on: May 18, 2012, 12:32:51 pm »
Hey guys,
Does anyone know how much a Game Boy Color Kiosk Store Display by Nintendo is worth?
There is one I found on eBay here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Game-Boy-Color-Kiosk-Store-Display-Nintendo-/320893192910?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab6b98ace#ht_500wt_922

The buy it now is just the price it is worth to that person.  So I was looking to get some input  from the video game community.  The only difference is my gamboy color is purple.  Thanks guys! Oh I might be looking to sell ;-)

 :cheers:

If I had the money I would offer $150 and possibly go up to $200.
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I'd take the gameboy out of it...maybe.

Apparently I'm the only one with a nostalgic feeling thinking back to before I had a console when I'd stand in front of the display while my family shopped.

That's what I'm saying! But my game boy didn't have any color.  :cheers:

If we are going by what they sell for on ebay:

Full sized kiosks go from anywhere between 100-500 bucks, with the average being around 150-200.  That's a table-top model though, they generally aren't worth as much.

I used to have a Dreamcast kiosk and it was among the most uncomfortable things to play ever.  It was too high to sit at and too low to stand.  These things are designed to be uncomfortable so people don't play them all day.

Really, you may get Howard's price, but only if you can find two buyers.  That's a very narrow market and any buyer who knows there is no competition isn't going to give you more than $50 for it.

I used a stool with mine, and I also detached the controllers, so I had a bit of freedom instead of having them connected to them damn rubber arms

Sitting on a stool for hours sucks.  Playing a game on a cheap 13" tv for hours sucks (yeah, that's blasphemy, but unless you're playing a system designed for that it's true).  Once I got over the novelty of playing on a kiosk in my house that Dreamcast kiosk was not worth having at all.

What would you use this thing for? I'm pretty sure I'm with pinballjim here. I wouldn't want that if it were offered to me for free.
