How Much Is The Nintendo NES Classic Going For On Ebay?
The Nintendo NES Classic was released as a miniature way to pay homage to the classic NES system that released in 1985. It only retailed at $59.99, however, things got real, really fast.
When the system was released in 2018, it was a hot commodity and it sold out. It worked similar to the way popular Nike and Adidas sneakers have been selling out.

Then, just like the popular sneakers, the console hit the resale market for a highly marked up price. Of course, Ebay was one of the hot spots for the console to be sold. Prices were pretty up there,
though, it has died down a bit.
From a $59.99 retail price, the NES Classic has risen to upwards of $200 and in some cases, close to $400. So resellers are making a little over 70 percent of a profit on the consoles.
When consoles come out they normal depreciate in value. However, this time, even a new take on the NES couldn’t be tamed. That’s what happens when you hold awesome titles like Super Mario Bros., Rambo, Contra and plenty other classics.
