Buying a used Gamecube just for the controller

New GC controllers for $8.33, and with free shipping.

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. I've been buying stuff from there for over 18 months now.

They basically ship straight from Chinese factories. No middle man means you pay cost plus, and not stupid markups for local importers.

There are good products, and there are crap products. Make sure you read the reviews and user feedback on every item before slapping your cash down.

These guys are my first port of call for most console accessories. I've bought controllers, homebrew cards, spare Wii sensor bars (for hacking), tools (trihead screwdrivers and other things), etc, etc.

I'm seriously considering grabbing the Dingoo next:

I did have a pre-order for the OpenPandora, but this is 1/5 the price!

You can get a brand new Gamecube Controller for use with the Wii off Play-Asia for around $26. What makes these controllers ideal for use with the Wii is the fact that they are a matching white color, and have ten foot cords instead of the shorter ones the older domestic controllers had.

I've got a black gamecube with av cables (tested working) but no power cord. I'll include with it a purple gamecube controller (official. missing little rubber nob on top of c stick but works fine) and a pelican retro gamecube controller (translucent orange). I'll sell the whole lot for $30 shipped.

Yup, done that quite a few times, but for other systems though. Example a game/accessory that I want would only come in a lot, will just buy the whole lot and the remainder sits as extras till I sell them or giveaway...

I've found that buying a bundle is practically the only way to get a 32x with all the cords.
