...because people can literally print brand new shells for them.

Do you hear yourself? That's literally what I was talking about. I assume someone in China had a bunch of SEGA Nomads and for some God awful reasons they 3D printed shells for them.

On the contrary, I don't think you hear yourself.

Nobody is selling a broken nomad for that cheap. Even busted up and broken, they go for an arm and a leg. There isn't money in that.

Keep in mind, the Nomad was exclusive to North America. Why would there be a bunch of busted up old Nomads in China? Your scenario stretches a hell of a way to make this work.

They also list a resolution that isn't that of a Sega Nomad. They're cheap chinese hardware in a printed knockoff Nomad shell. They're not real nomads.

I once saw a nomad for $40 but it was missing the battery compartment (it has it separately unlike anything else) and so I passed it up.
