What is reasonable to pay for a used N64 console?
 

I'm looking to purchase a used N64 console for my son who has one at our place but would like to keep one at the grandparents' place. I don't want to pay too much since I'll probably upgrade him to a PS(whatever) and XBOX(whatever version) when the new systems are available. He's at an age where the N64 is perfect for him.

I thought I've seen in the past that GameStop sells them for something like $39. Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Gamestop is currently running an offer to buy them for $19.99.

The guy in the video game store website thread used them as doorstops... I'm thinking you can get one under 20$ if you know where to look.

I'd buy it for a dollar.

Yup.. they're $20 at GameRape right now. The problem is the games worth getting are still pretty pricey.

Cool, just called the local Gamestop and they have them for $29.99...thanks gang....

KingSmoth...where did you see it for $19.99...is there a coupon or something involved?

Nope, I just went into Gamestop on Monday and they had a sign up that said "N64 Limited Time offer! $19.99!!" Wasn't certain if it was just my store or all stores though.

"One Million Dollars" :D

Dallas GameRape stores also have $19.99 N64's. LOTS of them. I went in to buy a Genesis and they wanted $29.99 for that.

You can still nail a few good games for cheap - Perfect Dark is $10 everywhere i see it. I still paid $40 for Mario 64 only a few short months ago though.

BOUGHT FROM GAMESTOP, $19.99!!!!
 

Just went to Gamestop near me and $19.99 with two controllers...thanks gang!

The funny part was, I called another Gamestop near work and they said $29.99 but the local one had the better pricing!

The EB stores in Chicago (the ones I've been in anyway) have N64's for 29.99 with a FREE GAME of your choice. I think there was some stipulation on the price of the free game, but I remember that Goldeneye counted, and that was around $15.

There are coupons in the store for an N64 at $24.99, and the one guy I asked in the Evanston store said that was still good for the free game.

Sounds like the Gamestop deal is about as good, particularly if you didn't need any games.

$30 at Gamestop here in Vegas.

Scratch that. $20. I mentioned I was told $30 over the phone and the manager told me it was because the promotion was supposed to end last week but didn't, so if you want one at that price, now is the time.

I picked up one on eBay with one controler and all the wires for $17 plus $8 shipping. I've seen them go for less on a few occasions.
