Getting a boxed unit may be hard after all these years, the polystyrene tends to get broken easily.

Unboxed ones come up on eBay quite often, like

Thanks. This one was not on my watchlist. The ones on ebay.de seem to go for way too much. The demand outstrips the supply for some reason.

You should also specify if you prefer the old style with 2 prong PSU or the later ones with C64 style power connector.
Be normal.

I was outbid on this one.

I actually don't have a preference on the 9v AC or 5v DC/9v AC version. It's only to play a few games with my 11 and 13 year old boys - the same ones as I played when I was their age (gorf, blitz, mole basher). Currently doing this on VICE now.
