No way. I never realised that they were ever that cheap. I picked up my 20th Anniversary Micro years for about £80 posted to the UK. Probably about 10yrs ago...
I do feel your pain though about not snapping things up when they were cheap. Gameboy Micro Consoles have gone mega Expensive over the past few years. Wish I had cleared the stock out at my local Woolworths many moons ago when they were bargain binned for £30 each.
At the time though, I didn't have a massive amount of income and collecting was not really a hobby or interest at the time.
Also, the idea of stuff like that appreciating in value was unfathomable.
I knew they did a Famicom Player 2 Faceplate, but they have always gone for silly money as they were Japan Club Nintendo Exclusive. I never realised that they came with a dummy console shell though. It was only looking around ebay listings recently that I found out and I spotted this one at a reasonable price. I was actually planning to sell my 20th Anniversary Micro and it was listed on ebay, but have since changed my mind. lol Anyway, I thought since I have another Micro which could do with a new lease of life, I'll get it and re-shell it. Was really pleased with the result. ^^ I've also got this display stand coming from Rose Colored Gaming, so will drop another pic here when that gets here, if anybody is interested. ^^
