I have one. Sitting on my table. Bigger than I recall. No games.
NEVER ORDER ANYTHING OFF EBAY WHILE DELIRIOUS WITH FEVER. NEVER!
I also got a Sega Nomad without cables, the Earth 2150 Trilogy, 4 SNES Controllers and a useless USB cooling platform for my laptop.

Lawl!
Don't play the VB, it will wreak your eyes, even if you do find some good games.
Dead headsets are probably fixable. 90% of the time the problem is at the plug end of the cable. You can by cheap 3 channel enders and sauter them onto the wire pretty easily, and if that doesn't fix it, meh, you've still got the ender incase another headset goes sometime soon. Infact, my headset cables keep getting eaten by cats, so I modify them all so the acctual headset cable is like 1 foot long, then I buy 10 foot extenders which are easily replaceable for the fraction of the cost of the headset, plus they tend to be much easier to repair than sony cable for example.

16MB is quite a bit if you just use it to transport documents and the like.
I remember when we thought 1.44MB was more portable storage than we'd ever need.

I heard the VB isn't very bad for the eyes if it's calibrated right.

Too bad I lack a stand, a power cable and any games for it. I think I might be strong enough to strap it to my head, but then I need to devise a headband.

According to the wikipedia there are 22 games for it and 14 of it aren't in cryptonese. Sounds like it wasn't the big hit... there's a gundam title however.

In terms of consoles, it has the greatest ratio of good to bad titles = 6 or 7 out of 22.
