And some more photos. 

Last Tuesday, a scheduling snafu gave me the day off from work. While in the eBay app, I saw a new listing for a saved search. The search was for a ps2 game. Once I tapped that beloved blue dot and saw the price was $20 more than I wanted, I casually flicked down to see similar items. 
 

My heart dropped because this N64 controller lot was the first one. For the price, I immediately bought it. I anticipated it being a scam, or I was only going to get the two standard controllers.  I need them anyway, so I went back to my day. 
 

The seller messaged me about half an hour later saying he had some offers to cancel the sale, but he was going to honor it. I was thrilled. The controller was legit! 

Through our correspondence, he had multiple offers between $750 and $1500. For a controller in this condition (bad with a rattle!) those prices seem insane! But the take away is...

I am over the moon about the seller sending the Millennium controller, but I’m equally sour on the eBay community. I was never going to pay the going rate for this controller, if I ever found one at the going rate. Why can’t we let someone get a “win” every once in awhile? Why does it have to be “If I can’t get the deal, then no one can?”

What a roller coaster of emotion.  Should I open this thing up and clean it? I definitely don’t want to sell, fwiw. And thank you so much, Dean!

I had a box of n64 doubles, and I *thought* it was a good idea to sell in early April. While I got some good money for the Mario’s, Zelda’s, etc, the market has gotten silly. 
 

With that said, I’ve put too much time, joy, and pride into buying my stuff. I will always keep a base collection ‘till I die. Some of the bulk might go to a job loss. But you’ll have to take some of my sealed N64 games, plush, and PS2 games out of my cold, dead hands. 

Bump.  Put some extras on eBay. Most of my extra Yoshi's have already sold. More will go live July 12th, fwiw, if anyone out there is watching this thread.

What’s the connector look like?

If you have one of these and would sell for a bounty, please like this comment. Then I will post my budget (bounty) for these. 

Hi all,

I purchased this at a local game store, and I was hoping someone could tell me more about it. It has my beloved N64 Nintendo logo and a model number, but it is “for PC only.”

Any and all information would be welcomed! 

Thanks!

P.S. DK and Toad are for size reference only. 

Bump.

The manual also has Sakic, but the disc is the standard heatley one.  They never bothered to make new discs, just the cover art and manual.

Awh man. I had my fingers crossed it was case art only, but that wouldn’t have really made sense.

Well, if anyone has a Sakic manual, or wants to purchase a Sakic case art only, let me know!

I just found one of these. Is there an accompanying manual and disc? Or just the art?

Bump.

2 more should be off the list. Getting down to the hardest to find!

Please message me, even if you think you would have to sell for a crazy price! I am dedicated to tracking these down!

It's interesting how much the grey variants have jumped. I'd say the grey variants were not any more money then the color versions even as late as 2012. I wanna say it was the revelation of the grey Turok Rage Wars that started the climb on other grey variants. Was anyone else there when they first popped up on ebay in a case? It was $12 BIN, I kick myself for not buying a handful of them instead of just the one.  Now a few of them had shot up in price a bit, but as a result are easier to find. It took me nearly a year to find a Bassmasters grey cart and now you see two or three of them listed on ebay.

People were not aware of the grey Rage Wars as late as 2014 to 2015.  I bought my beat up copy for $5.35 at a high priced retro store.  I was as gleeful as can be.  

Shamefully, I am hoping to catch a -01 No Mercy in a lot someday. 

I've got some games where previous owner's used a cheap machine, and there are swirl marks.  Some play, others do not.  Would they be salvageable?  XBOX, Wii, and Gamecube, fwiw.

I remember right after my parents forced me to sell nearly all of my childhood games, I saw a great Sculptor’s Cut for $75. This would have been around 2010. 
 

And Jone is correct about the manual. While many N64 cib still have a price much lower than their rarity, that manual is the only one I can’t find for under $1,000 ten years later. 

ISS 2000 has the two box variations. I think the English box may get up there compared to the Spanish version. 

Don't you hate that you have to see the listing on FB or on an app in under 5 minutes or it's gone?  Even 4 minutes is probably too long. 3 and under is ideal.

I added some wants back after some purchases fell through.

I noticed my 6' Super Mario is missing a button, so I may add that in as well.  If anyone is also looking to buy, I have some doubles of the keychains now.

I have a nice banjo without tag 

Holding out for one with tag, but I will keep yours in mind.

All aboard the hype train!

Chugga Chugga Chugga Chooo Chhhoooo!!!

The Yoshi is probably devalued because the tag was cut off and was sewn in that part because it clipped open the fabric. The Banjo I don't know what to value at. Let me know what you want.

If you have a picture of Banjo, please PM it to me.

I have some, including the two the guy above showed, as well as a keychain plush Toad, a non-keychain Yoshi, a Banjo Kazooie plush, and Mario with the wing cap.

Which Yoshi do you have? I would definitely be interested in Banjo.
