I say total ripoff. Two years ago I got a completely unused and unopened Super Famicom off ebay for less than $300. Immediately after purchase I was inundated with emails from people wanting to buy it off me. The sale was followed by a flood of imitator "new" Super Famicoms that were pretty clearly fakes trying to capitalize on the feeding frenzy. Mine is definitely unused, every piece of plastic and tape is intact and the box is nearly unblemished. I asked the guy before I bought it where it came from, he bought out a closing game store in Japan and acquired a room full of unused vintage stock. He also was selling TONS of unopened Famicom Disk games. I've also got an unused Super Nintendo Super Gameboy combo pack that I stole for 275, but the box exterior is worn and faded from sitting on a warehouse shelf for over a decade. The box still had some sort of packing slip from Nintendo taped to it. I was really in the market for the original Super Mario World bundle, but nobody has them. I am a serious collector and I know I got a fantastic deal on both of these, but that doesn't even NEARLY approach what this dealer is asking. I've seen unopened freakin Wondermegas go for 400-600, and those are even rarer and (I think) more desirable. Just on the off-chance someone is listening, I'm looking for an unopened original Sega Genesis/Altered Beast bundle and a Mushihimesama arcade board (any condition) Legit unused Super Famicoms almost never show up, but 5500 is insultingly high.
