I thought this was a joke, but then saw that they're going for $200 each on amazon. You could probably get away with just trading 2 of them for a Wii U.

A guy on Craig's List is offering me $315 for all three and I think I'm going to take it.

Yeah, it's amazing what these cables are going for nowadays but people who like to play Melee on HDTV's want them because they help cut down on lag.

On the tip of your nose.

Congrats man, are you going to buy a Wii U though? Over 100 Cheeseburgers would be pretty good too...
100 cheeseburgers sounds tasty but I'm really looking forward to Mario Kart 8 and later Super Smash Bros. IV so I'm going for the Wii U.

BTW, I now have 2 GameCube Broadband Adapters that I'm looking to sell for around $110.

Ultimately, I'm moving away from being a video game collector and trying to get back in to more seriously playing video games. This is a consequence of the fact that the best minds in gaming think the retro collecting marketing bubble is about to burst. Prices simply have gotten too high especially in light of the fact that legal and less than legal emulation has become so prevalent.

I'm going to edit out that CL ad. I know CL's local and your intent might not even be to sell those to people here, but indirectly it's an ad on SWF. And I'd rather not make it a thing on LH and judging them case by case.

I know, right. I sold the cables to that guy yesterday and ended up getting $320 which is enough to buy a Wii U.
Did you make sure the cash wasn't counterfeit? Offering 5 bucks more than the agreed price is highly suspicious...

He just gave me 5 dollars more because I didn't have change for a 20 dollar bill. Besides, I gave him a very fair price on the cables. He was happy because he can still resell them for a profit and I'm happy because I got those cables for just $6 each.
