Well if you, or any one else for that matter, wants... I'm selling a Gamecube for $20.

This is the advice I give to a lot of people. Especially since Gamestop's new gamecubes are now marked as used.

i am sure you can google a controller for like 5-10bux.

Perhaps for a 3rd party controller but the going rate for an official Nintendo GC controller (used) is around $14 shipped on Ebay.

I've got an extra gamecube controller or two I'd part with if someone is looking to buy one.

If its a bargain, makes sense.

I did the same with a NES and SNES

oh wow
Just looked over the site
SP charger for 2.77?

thanks for the link

In regards to the OP
I useually will search for the game console for sale just to see if they are getting rid of games with it as well
That's where the good games sneak into listings
Found a few FF7's this way for cheap and who doesn't need 5+ ps ones?

Is this site legit???? Free shipping for like every product, including the ones less than a dollar... Plus great deals on everything. Sounds fake to me...

Yes, it's legit. Keep in mind that almost none of their stuff is official/legit. It's all cheap copies of stuff.

I have bought stuff from them a number of times without issues (DS screen protectors, AceKard, PNY SD card, stylus, DS wall chargers, DS car chargers, etc). I haven't had any issues.

It's helpful to read comments from people before buying an item.
