    Hey guys,

    I could get my hands on this Mario GC, and I was wondering how much doest it worth? I don't really want to overpay for it. I've never seen one for sale in my country.

    Thanks in advance.

    The controller is legit and worth 60-100USD.

    Never seen that console before and I've never heard of such a thing. I would guess say it is a custom job.
    I think I would have heard of that.

    Of course, it could just be incredibly rare.

    Controller was a Nintendo giveaway for Club Nintendo or something of the like for having enough points/coins/whatever. The console might be a dye job or something of the sort but I'm only aware of one LE GameCube in the US and it was a seafoam green.

    Well, maybe it isn't an official case, and I've just looked up the controller and the original has a red M inside a white circle, but this one has a blue M.
    I can't find anything on the case.

    Here is a photo of the bottom, it has a sticker on it, but I can't make out anything.

    If it's a custom job it's very well done. Are all the areas, including under the port covers painted/dyed?


    Also that's an odd sticker- the Nintendo Gamecube sticker is normally in that larger sized "sticker area". Hmmmm.

    That console is PAL.

    Guy did a good job on the paint. He almost nailed it.
    There's just the tiniest bit of paint on the sticker that reveals it aftermarket dye job.

    Not official, but very well done.
    I give it a 40USD.

    In Europe/AUS, they only got the small sticker.

    Yeah PAL or NTSC is an important decision for Gamecube. There's internal region differences.

    In the last picture the disc lid obviously show is a paint custom job. But I have to say is a nice one. But like kiff says dont waste your money on something you can make.

    Also the ATi Sticker wouldn't be painted over... So this is surely a paint job no doubt, very well done though.
