I know.

Just saying it's too bad you weren't in the market then. Could have got a deal!

Well, when you were working at wal mart, you should have saved one for the person you had no idea you would randomly meet on the internet ten years later. >_>

Btw, i actually liked tennis for the virtua boy...

True. I did not qualify my statement.

I just couldn't believe somebody actually broke out the Virtual Boy! You must be a REALLY hardcore Nintendo fan!

It was pretty much meant to be portable, but you are right that it did have a power switch on it just the same.

haha, im not really that much of a nintendo fan, i mean i like all their systems but im no gonna defend them to the death like some

They didn't pay me enough. $20 was like 3 months wages at that place.

I bought a virtual boy 5 or 6 years ago at a fleamarket just to check it out. Its actually a pretty cool experience playing the thing, but it was just so uncomfortable to sit at a table to play it.

I've seen instructions on the internet on how to make an adjustable VB holder out of an old lamp & some springs...

Sadly I bought a virtual boy at launch. My eyes burn just thinking about it. My mom sold it in a yard sale years later for a dollar.

Looking forward to selling my Xbox360 in the garage sale next summer, and keeping the Wii. All wrapped up in a paperbag. Selling it for eleven dollars. So if anyones in Oregon next summer, 360 for $11.

Reasons? Similar to my whole deal with NES and Genesis back when I was slightly shorter than 6'9". It's got Sonic 2...

You should talk to Ben. I know he'd gladly take you up on this deal.

Heck, I'll buy it right now. >_> That, or if I steal it from you, you won't mind since you are sleling it for 11 bucks.

I remember that came out when I was going into my Senior year of high school and I worked at Wal-Mart at the time.

Sadly, there are no wal-marts here in NYC. And there never have been.

Not having a Wal-Mart is nothing to be sad about. You'd probably be short about 90% of the locally owned and operated businesses in your area if they had come in.
