No, it's not. There's enough supply to find some in the wild.

The fags scalping these just hope to bank on off the scarcity like what was with the NES Classic.

They're going to be making more SNES and NES Classics too. Don't give retards your money.

How is scalping not illegal? You can't even argue this isn't cutting into Nintendo's profits. These people buy it for $80 and sell it the same day for 3x the price. If I was Nintendo I'd be pissed. You should only be able to sell opened items that are clearly used.

i'd keep the stuff that isn't on it, like Turtles 4 and Chrono Trigger, but i'd sell EB and FF3

also, my BB had like 60 on Friday, we have like a good 20 scalpers @ anywhere from $150 to $250 a pop

In the US, the commerce clause of the constitution states that once you purchase something, you typically can do whatever you want with it. It's called the First Sale Doctrine. I remember reading about this because Sam's Club could buy designer watches cheaper at retail in Argentina, fly back to the US and sell them in their stores for far less than other American retailers.

I saw one at the flea market today. I just asked because I was curious and the lady wanted $300. Later I found a turbografx pad box for $3 but it had a master system controller inside. Still bought it.

Who cares what people spend their money on? Not everyone is a poorfag who downloads shit for free.

I bought physical copies of games and collect old & new consoles. It's a hobby enjoy.

Maybe too expensive for a poorfag like you, but not for me.

Well I plan on buying one so it can sit right next to my SNES. Of course I won't be buying it at scalpers prices. I also plan on buying the Sega Genesis Flashback console to sit next to my model 1 Sega Genesis. I just haven't gotten around to it because there's a whole list of things for me to buy that were more of a priority then a retro console.

No, if someone else buys it then Nintendo isn't getting an additional $80. Scalping directly cuts into Nintendo's profits because people are forced to buy from scalpers instead of Nintendo.

It wouldn't be a problem if Nintendo would ship a lot more than 10 units to each store. They know the NES Classic had insane demand, there's no reason to understock SNES Classics.

No, they said shortly after the NES Classic launched that they were surprised by the demand and that they would continue to ship units to stores. Then earlier this year they said they understood the immense demand and in response to that immense demand they cut off production of the fucking thing.
