I've seen the genuine Arcadia 2001 get high prices, but clones can be
cheaper. Sometimes they are not listed as Arcadia 2001, the carts are not
interchangable and they look totally different. The radofin consoles don't
seem to attract the same interest, one I sold went for around AU$40 and
that was with a stack of boxed games.
