Platinum Wireless Wavebird Controller

Earlier this evening I was searching eBay looking for another Wavebird controller so I would have four and came across this eBay auction:
Brand new wireless wavebird platinum sealed in retail packaging. Very hard to find in this condition. Great for Smash Bros. Ships free via USPS Priority with delivery confirmation. 2 available.
This Nintendo GameCube Wavebird sure is a beauty, all sealed and minty fresh as seen in the auction picture below but…
The only issue I have with this auction is the controller is $114.99 USD. Yikes. I don’t need a brand new sealed Wavebird that bad.
Apparently this seller has 2 Wavebirds available at this price if anyone is interested in paying way too much 
I did a little more checking and found out that the eBay 90-day eBay average price is $24.00 USD, so I’ll just keep looking for a used Wavebird.

How cool to have a brand new sealed Wavebird, but like you said, the price is WAY too high.
@Billy: Indeed, it would be cool to have an unused Wavebird. I just followed up on the auction and it didn’t sell, which isn’t a surprise to me because of the asking price.
Wireless for the Gamecube is way way overrated. I loved PSO and never needed a Wavebird.
@BitMaster: I disagree. Wireless controllers for any console system are not overrated. Maybe the crazy prices people ask on eBay but the actual functionality is pretty cool.
As for PSO, I love Phantasy Star Online. It’s a lot of fun to play. I’m into most RPG’s.
