The Ebay Topic

Ive been collecting N64 since launch but never heard of this:

Nintendo 64 Chrome Leopard Foxdata Controller N64

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nintendo-64-Chrome-Leopard-Foxdata-Controller-N64-/261219398284

£300 - WTF?

There were 4 different colors of these controllers and are very rare that's why it is so expensive. The only way to get these back when the N64 was still being sold is through Fox Data. I think you had to actually send a controller to them and they painted it or maybe you could buy one from them for more money too. IIRC it was pretty expensive (not to mention you would be without a controller for weeks) so not many people did it so they are rare.

Wow thanks for the info. I have messaged the guy who posted on retrocollect in case he has not spotted the auction.

Should not be too hard to replicate.

23 Euro for three cases... Slightly over priced... Just slightly.

I've been wanting a Jaguar (Atari) for a while now. I had one as a kid, played the hell out of it and it's the last retro console I want. For games I want AlienvsPredator, Wolfenstein3d, Tempest2000, Doom, and Cybermorph, which are all the games I had and played as a kid. I've heard Kasumi Ninja and Rayman are pretty cool for the system too.

I already missed one chance to get all of this when I didn't act quickly enough on this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281094156318?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I've watched the prices for a while and under $200 isn't bad for everything that was included.

I've been cruising ebay and craigslist for over a month since then waiting for another opportunity to get the final system for my collection and finally... I found another Jaguar listing on ebay. I set my personal limit around $200 knowing that I might go a little over that to get this one because the condition was really good and it came with the exact games I wanted, and an extra controller too. But where the hell do you draw the line when bidding?

In the last 5 minutes, the bidding jumped from $127 to $202 and I was already getting edgy about it, but I said fuck it, I want this thing so I'll go to $230. I even blew past that and bid $260 and still couldn't beat the other person's max bid. $260 on an old system that everyone hates on and is used by dentists to hold tooth cleaners. What the hell, that's almost enough for a WiiU. Ok, I'm done crying about it. Just wanted to share.

This is the listing I lost out on: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-Jaguar-Black-Console-NTSC-/181144903285?autorefresh=true&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=8M5lIEIOWbW1v2GjAyZp88YPWI8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

There's no way I'm spending over $250 on an old system like that. It's fucking ridiculous. I should have gotten the one listed in April when I had the chance, but it's over. I guess I'm over it now.

You couldn't pay me 260 to put that thing in my cave.  That was the first thing I sold when I went back to college. I cannot believe they're worth more than 20 bucks at this point

[FFXIK]

Action 52.  Wow.  Just, wow.  Although I love how they list it as a NES-001 like it's something important.

Sorry man, nothing personal.

Its because of Storage Wars. The guy on there said that NES-001 models were rare and worth big monies. That has actually drove the price up on NES consoles for a while. Luckily people are smarter, and they finished the episode.

[Azazell0]

That Storage wars douche was brilliant. He saw an auction for NES with some games going for thousands and thought it was because the NES was modeled 001 (I have one too! although it's PAL-001) but he didn't realize that it was a boxed copy of Stadium events that was the reason for the package going up so high on eBay.
