Actually to some degree Tommy has a point. Ebay can be held responsible for mass advertising so every video game selling storefront can raise prices and any stay at home lazy jobless hillbilies can make a gougers living.
But on the plus side, some of us who thought we would never see another TG16 found it still lived on Ebay 15 years ago for cheap. I remember when all hucards were only 5.00 for a loosie. I bought a handful while my Ex was in Texas A&M and it made a great console to travel there with.
