Timing is everything, apparently. Just a few years ago you couldn't give these red tents away, and they were the bane of classic collectors everywhere. If you bought out a warehouse or storage unit and had to take some of these along with the deal, you knew you were gonna be stuck with them, only good for swiping Nintendo joysticks and buttons - as the monitors weren't even really useful in another Nintendo game.
I had one for so long I swore I was gonna make a BBQ pit out of it.
Guess it's a good thing they're enjoying some late-found collectible status now, though I have to admit I don't quite understand why.
