NES Classic Edition sales on eBay happened once every 18 seconds on launch day

When a product becomes difficult to find – even for a short period – people turn to eBay. With the NES Classic Edition, the asking price naturally skyrocketed.

Polygon reports that NES Classic Edition sales on eBay last Friday took place once every 18 seconds. It’s tailed off just slightly since then, but sales are still happening once every minute and 23 seconds as of Tuesday. The average sale price has also been at $230 as opposed to Nintendo’s normal $60 asking price.
