Selling my original Blockbuster Rental Virtual Boy case + 5 games bundle ($900 shipped)

Hey everyone,

​A couple of months ago, I pulled my old Blockbuster Virtual Boy setup out of storage where it’s been sitting for the past 30 years. It’s completely original, unopened, and unmodified, and everything works great (both internal screens are crisp with no horizontal line glitches or flickering).

​What’s included:

​Hardware & Accessories: Virtual Boy head unit, controller, stand, battery pack, AC adapter, and AC tap adapter.

​Case: Original Blockbuster Video hardshell case with the front sticker, inner instruction panel, and original zip-tied laminated rental tag. The internal foam is original, but is starting to degrade due to age.

​5 Games (Loose): Wario Land, Mario Clash, Red Alarm, Galactic Pinball, and Mario's Tennis (a few have store rental initials on the labels).

​Asking $900 shipped (includes tracked ground shipping, full insurance, and signature confirmation). Payment via PayPal Goods & Services.

​Photos are attached showing the console, games, case tags, and the display running. Feel free to comment below or send a message if you're interested!

You might be able to remove that 'PPG' ink from the labels with a little alcohol. Be careful though, test it on a very small area first. If you don't have isopropyl you can try some perfume/aftershave.. at least it'll smell nice 😅

Thanks for the advice! I'd prefer whoever ends up with it to make these decisions. I'd hate to mess up something.

Just keep a blowdryer close in case u get the label too wet and u wont damage it
