Apologies for the abuse of greentext, but man this retro bubble shit is getting out of hand. That's 50 more than when I bought the first mini.

Best solution is to grab a good CRT. A Sony Trinitron or something similar; refer to the CRT thread for more info.
If you need an upscaler specifically, due to lack of space or whatever then shell out the $400 for an xrgb framemeister.

I went full retard and bought a loose EB cart for $150 the other day.
I regret paying that much, but I don't regret buying the game since it partly defined my childhood.

The unfortunate reality is that this is how much these things cost now, and if you want them you have to either go hunting down deals or pay the reseller prices.
When the value decreases from waning interest "reseller scum" are the types to destroy their "investment" so other "entrepreneurs" don't "capitalise" on it (via dumpster diving or otherwise). I paid out the ass, but it's one copy of EB that wont end up in the bin or a cartridge shredder.
