Nintendo’s $59.99 NES Classic is in short supply, but you can buy one online for $1,000

[Betallsports 0]

Nintendo's NES Classic released on Thursday for $59.99 in the U.S. is already being sold on eBay for $1,000 as savvy sellers look to cash in on the short supply of the console.

The NES Classic comes with 30 games and a controller and harks back to Nintendo's heyday with titles including "Donkey Kong" and "Super Mario Bros".


Stocks have already sold out on Amazon while Best Buy is only selling it in-store. Gamestop is also only offering the NES Classic in store along with Target.


The short supply has led to those lucky people who have managed to buy a console selling them online for as much as $1,000. This marks a 1,567 percent increase on the original selling price.


Other listings on eBay are also high.


The NES Classic connects to the TV like a modern console with a HDMI cable. The games are all pre-installed on the system. Nintendo has kept the original graphics of the games.

Game selection on it kinda sucks and no ability to add games to it in the future.
I'll stick with my original one.

I might need to go digging through storage and see if mine still works.
Only bonus to the new ones is you wont have to keep trying to Power ON/OFF, jiggle the cartridge, blow dust of connectors, etc... to get some games to work.

Lol $1,000.... I'll stick with my emulator thank you very much! I literally downloaded every nes title ever made in 1 package I found on piratebay, it took less than 5 minutes. My buddy shelled out $45 for an nes game at the store a couple weeks ago, there getting big money again for the nastalgia factor

Tecmo is on it

Super Tecmo Bowl >>>> Over the original

Super Tecmo had real NFL teams and it kept your stats as you played a season.

I would buy it if they let you download games for it but you are stuck with the 30 games that come with it.
