Hyperkin Retron 5 pricing

Postby Ken1 » May 26th, 2014, 4:31 pm

I recently saw the Retron 5 on Ebay listed for as much as $499! Why is the price so high? Has it not been officially released yet?

It's a MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) architecture, which explains the $139.

Looks like I'll have to buy TWO new consoles this June: The Xbox One ($399) and Retron 5!  I better make room.
