WTB/WTT for: Gamecube Component Cables (USA)

(ALREADY FOUND ONE; PLEASE LOCK) Gamecube Component or D-Terminal Cables (USA)

I'd be willing to make an offer for a set of GCN Component Cables; preferably by means of cash and a trade. Either way, I'll be completely honest: I'm trying to avoid paying the outrageous Amazon/eBay prices for these cables.

I'm aware that that may not happen, but hell, it's worth trying.

If there's anybody interested in talking with me about this, please PM me for details because frankly I'm scared of posting something that will embarrass myself publicly.

EDIT: I'm not looking for a CIB cable or "like new" or anything. Just something that works correctly. Also, as the title edit suggests, I'd alternatively take a D-Terminal cable.

EDIT2: Already got a cheap(ish) D-Terminal Cable. Can someone lock this please?

 

hmm, they sell for $200 on ebay? Maybe I should sell mine instead of it collecting dust...

 

it is getting out of control with the ebay prices of these cables! 2 years ago they were 80ish bucks on ebay and I thought that was stupid! Last year they were 140ish and now this year they are topping 200! This is why I bought a D terminal cable and I use it with my XRGB-mini. They were so much cheaper then the component cables but now even they are getting up there in price at 140ish.

 

Im just holding out for a 3rd party to make some Gamecube component cables for cheap, untill them im using my Wii, which I did get a new 3rd party component cable for £3, I can't justify paying £100+ for a cable.
They are not rare either, since some have sold for stupid money loads have surfaced on ebay, there's currently 21 listing and some listings have multiple cables, the cheapest £105 :/

 

One specific big thing I'm willing to trade to knock off some of the cost is a used Aqua Nintendo 3DS, complete with box, charging cradle, unopened AR Cards, instruction book, and an unredeemed download code for Legend of Zelda: a Link Between Worlds.

 

Man,thats a good deal.

A few years ago I sold one on here for 60$,it's just stupid how much these are.

 

^^ strange you mention that, i can't find a cube Y.Pb.Pr. (or dti) cable for less than 100gbp, and that's the optimistic prices.
got a DOL-001 with all retail addons (black) and that cable is the one reason it's in storage, too pricey!
the wii sorta comes close with it's Y.Pb.Pr. cable but for some reason, i can't force any embedded higher resolution suppoert (by holding red pad button on powerup) on the NGC roms, so in effect, that cable is still a sought after item because if wii dd offer full NGC output, would be redundant. (apart from those who collect for collecting sakes and can afford it)
...
i hope the OP gets what he's searching for, really! (nobody should have to pay those prices but we don't live in 'should' land)

 

What firmware is the 3ds on?

 

It's not a massively early firmware, I'm afraid. I don't remember the specific firmware, cuz I'm on the road at the moment and won't get a chance to check till tomorrow at the earliest.

 

OK, I lied. I got the firmware version: 7.1.0-15U.

 

Bump, with two more things I'm willing to use as the trade portion of the cost of some cables (the former seeming to be a much "bigger" thing than the other):

-a used copy of the GBA game "Mother 1+2", CIB
-2 Best Buy 2013 "Year of Luigi" Luigi Medals

Actually, if there's further discussion merit here, then NVM.

 

You have to use either NTSC games or a way to force video mode.

While PAL DOL-001 fully accepts the cable, almost all PAL NGC software disabled 480p.

 

(a bit late to this one)
true!
but i have a handful of retails that stuff me when used/dumped on the wii/wode..
some games have a 50/60hz selector that works fine on the ngc but seem irrelevant on a wii, noticed NO refresh rates had changed on a wii, but on the ngc, it was fine!
i don't have a Y.Pb.Pr. (or dti) cable for the ngc, just the CVBS cable...so i can't say/confirm my side if the selector would apply there, do have the official Y.Pb.Pr. cable for the wii, i followed the rules and got the shaft. (metroid prime and echoes are two games off top off skull with that selector on bootup)
wii is set at some obscure rating EDTV, some half-arsed resolution, the other settings play havoc with my TV.
regardless of base settings, the ngc stuff takes priority when loaded and no matter what i do, all roads lead to mark keane!
make NO mistake, as soon as a hdd compatible spoof is readily available for the ngc as the WODE is for the wii, and i can get a dti cable for ngc, i BIN this wii thing and get back to the last console nintendo put the effort in.
...
i guess what i'm trying to say, nothing i do works, not even the overseas ngc roms alter the refresh rates on a wii... (still at 50hz regardless)
