one of a kind objects gain value from being one of a kind, granted if someone 
wants to pay 300 for a n64 it's not as bad as the person who sell life 
sustaining materials after a hurricane at a 10,000 percent mark-up 

I myself think that the stores selling the n64's for over 199 where just 
taking advantage of there customers. of course funcoland has lost my business 
i will never purchase anything from them simply because they had there games 
for n64 ex mortal combat was going for 100 there 69 everywhere else i consider 
them crooks
