I saw one at a local pawn shop for 25 bucks. I think it was 25 anyway. No box or anything, and I didn't even bother asking them if they'd get it off the shelf. lol

I managed to find a Flashback 2 via the Internet, but when it comes I am pretty sure it will be a fake. Worth the risk though as I will have no problem with taking it apart. I want a platform I can burn a rom to of my own games. Fingers crossed.

I saw it on Amazon. It's pretty darn expensive. $249.99.

Well, I bought the one from the second link online and paid by paypal, then the seller ignored repeated emails. I complained to eCrater, who provided a different seller email address to that from the paypal invoice, and suddenly, unexpectedly had my payment "returned". No explanation or reply. So, I am still without a Flashback2 (fake or real). I bought a Harmony cartridge that arrived very quickly from the States, and tried to by a VecVox (Vectrex and Atari compatible) but the UK supplier no longer does them and AtariAge has had them "coming soon" for well over a year now.

Looks like I am going to have to find a working 2600, rather than a newer FB2, which in a way is a good thing, but reliability is a key issue for the homebrew dev work I was hoping to do with my students.
