looking at about $300 usd for one in good working condition at the moment... I had quite an adventure buying mine, had 3 other different transactions and returns before I found one in decent shape which (anecdotally) leads me to believe that these are rarer than listings make them appear.

in the end I ordered one w/ box, manual, power adapter, battery pack and several games from Japan, and contacted the seller before pulling the trigger. a little under 400 shipped. these things are pretty faulty and there are lots of inaccurate listings or junk machines, def research + message before buying if you end up shopping for one.
