You can buy a used AES on ebay for the average price of $150-175
Which eBay have you been visiting? It's rare for a vanilla AES to sell under $200 from what I've seen over the past year or 2 (back into '07 since it's '09 now). This is why I thought overall, an MVS would be a better choice because at least only the console is expensive, not the games too.
Which ebay have you been watching? I've purchased 3 in the last 2 years for under $200. You gotta know how to look dude.
I wouldn't pay shit for a frankensteined neo... lol at everyone who thinks this makes a neo worth more. In my opinion, it hurts the value.
