    Looking for an aftermarket case such as Viper, QOOB, etc so I can mod my gamecube. I am located in the US.

    I've still got top halves (crystal clear and purple) available. Can't find anything that is a complete replacement anymore.

    How much would a crystal clear or purple top half cost?

    Been asking $45+shipping. If I could find more I'd be stockpiling them but so far no new supplies of either full replacements or half replacements are available.

    1) I'm not ripping anyone off, you do best to revise your comment
    2) Divineo only has 1 color, I have two
    3) Divineo only does business in Spanish
    4) Doing the math with shipping to the United States it is currently 29.69 EUR which is $40.25USD.

    So yeh, a total rip off for the fact you don't have to deal with customs or morons slandering other users.

    1) This is in the eye of the beholder of course
    2) True one of the colors he wants they still have.
    3) Not true. If you sent them emails in english they will respond in english.
    4) That price get's much better when you order 2 or more.

    Customs isn't that bad here in the usa especially when dealing with video games since there are no import taxes. There is still something to be said though about ordering these straight from the USA though as finding a payment method was probably the hardest part. Also Shipping took a LONG time from divineo. You have set your price but it is still high compared to other options available which at this point aren't exhausted (unless as you mentioned in 2 you want a purple case instead of clear) I wouldn't consider your price a rip off. Just a premium to not have to deal with things that some users may want to avoid.

    I'm just not interested in having my reputation bad mouthed by someone I've never done business with.

    And last I tried to contact Divineo.es they only replied in Spanish so maybe something changed recently.

    Instead of badmouthing APE, all that had to be said is "Oh you could try to order one from Divineo," but to say one of the more trustworthy people here is ripping someone off is silly business.

    People need to be more respectful.

    His price may be more, but his service sure as hell will be better then theirs.

    Good luck returning a broken case to them at your expense.

    Oh awesome, a person wanting one should buy multiple that will both increase his shipping costs and maybe return him something to sweeten the deal IF he can find somebody to buy them.

    This is a non point.

    Last year when you were selling them to members you didn't provide a link to were they could get them cheaper.
    I guess is only ripping off if you (teancum) are not the one selling them.

    Exactly this. Saying rip off was going to far.
    Exactly this. Saying rip off was going to far. There are also pros and cons to this. Ape charges more but has a stellar reputation and takes care of his customers. And dealing with Divineo is not exactly easy. (Think it took months for stuff to arrive) I've never heard anything bad said about him.

    It's not a non point. The opening poster said he may want more than one. (at least in PMs back and forth) If you buy 2 from ape that cost $80 (unless he has some sort of bulk pricing) but if you keep buying more from divineo then the price get's better and better. All it takes is a friend that wants the same thing and it can take them.

    Try to keep up and pay attention to who says what before you go off bad mouthing people.

    You should take your own advice.

    Whatever. No need to add for gas to this fire I suppose. Read my posts closely (and not emotionally)
