They are 150$ brand new. However some stupid children will pay 200 dollars if they don't know whats going on and a store hasn't changed their prices.

Maybe its more than just the GC, maybe a game and memory card as well, don't jump to conclusions.

Who knows? It's really hard to tell with autions. Ebay is just a waste of money; why pay more when you can pay less? Of course someitems can't be found in stores and that's why people waste their money on Ebay.

i usually get stuff for less than retail price off of ebay. For example, you can get warcraft 3 in stores for $60, but off ebay you can get it from $45-50. I also got a new pair of oakleys for $38 http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif.

Okay everyone, while all these great revelations are being disclosed, I'd like to mention that the Sky is blue and grass is green... most of the time.

We got our Game Cube for 130 British squigs, brand spanking new! I think a couple of games came with it too...

Pawn Shops round here are dodgy, I wouldn't get a consol from them. 99% of the time the consols belong to addicts who had to sell them to keep up their habit....

180 British pounds actually translates to $279. Are you sure that's right?

No, i'm jumping to conclusions. because the Toys R Us here i was in 2 days ago was selling GAMECUBE SYSTEMS ONLY with no extras for 200$. I asked the manager if it came with any extras because i was thinking of returning mine to best buy so that i could get more out of my money. =) FMM i'm not stu0pid. i thought about that before i posted that last one. =)
