I have a chance to pick up an nes robot working for $10. Is it worth it?

Are you are looking to use it and have fun? No way. It is about the least fun thing in the world. They are getting pretty hard to find in working order, though. If you are a collector, you should get it. I would snag it.

I just wanted it for the nostalgia nothing more. But do you think at $10 is it a deal? Here is a picture of it and what comes with it.

I used mine for about a week.  Then it got put away.  It was more fun trying to squish each other in Gyromite than it was to use the robot.  The seizure inducing flashes get to you after awhile though.

I have a pretty large 8-bit Nintendo collection and I can say that $10 for a R.O.B. is a VERY good deal.  I don't have one yet but if I had the chance for one for $10 I would definatly own one!  Snag it up, for nostalgia that sort of stuff is great!

R.O.B. is the shiz. If I could land one for $10, I'd do it, without any hesitation.

It sounds like, at the very least, there are enough dorks on this board that you could pick it up for $10 and sell it here for at least $50.   ;D

Getting ROB is a good idea but finding the games to play with is much harder.  It's even easy to find Gyromite and Stackup, but not easy to find Gyro and SU with the accessories needed for ROB.  It's actually more fun to play those two games with two people instead.
Next I'll be on fries, and that's when the big money starts rolling in.
