From what I can tell, they are going for about 5x what they were selling for new in '87. The story with this one is, me and my best friend wanted one so bad back then, and we found out about a contest where the first prize was the PXL2000. The contest was to write a commercial for "Tide" (laundry detergent)...

Damn, we tried our best to win, but never heard from them... So I got it for Christmas after months of nagging the parents (he got one too). We made loads of crappy movies, Lego, G.I. Joe, live action Ninja movies... haha those were the days.
