I recommend eBay. That's where I got mine and it was around $150. There's usually one or 2 on there. Just search using "NEC PC FX". That should locate them.

Yes try it at eBay.com with the search phrase (pc-fx, pcfx). This usually lists you most PC-FX related items. Don't pay more than $200 for a boxed unit. They usually go for $100-$200 (depends on condition) without shipping.

I got mine on ebay NEW (it wasn't even described as new, but everything was in perfect condition and all the manuals were still sealed in their plastic etc.) for about $100!!! I couldn't believe it. It was a buy-it-now from a seller with 100% good feedback, and it arrived all the way from Japan in four days. I couldn't f**king believe it. It was the best ebay moment of my whole damn life. I still think Jesus must have deciced that I needed a PC-FX or something. Whatever the case... you should definitely find one under $150.

If you're paying that much, it's a bad deal. Yahoo Japan's auction site has several listings for the console, some with extras, in the $30 to $50 range. That's where I plan to get mine..the sellers there don't take international bids, but you can still buy them from a deputy service (some of the more popular ones are Otaku-ya and Sato) for a fee. I'm not sure how much it would be after shipping, though, I've never bought anything as heavy as a console from Japan yet. It's usually $8 USD airmail for a book or video game, $12 for insured mail..
