That still doesn't justify the price, right now I can go and buy myself a complete PC with mouse, CRT monitor, speakers, Pentium 4 1,6 GHz processor, 512 MB SDRAM for a total of 15€, it just doesn't make sense to pay that much for an outdated PC hardware.

for a time I used to be able to find stuff on my craigslist (Phoenix). Now, every time you search for something like Sega Saturn or Megaman Legends 2, you get nothing but shit-tons of mom and pop retro stores selling everything overpriced.
