Title: What the snot...?
Post by: OldRover on 12/07/2012, 02:20 AM

Am I missing something here? First of all, how does one justify the price of this item? And second, how have they sold over 50 of them so far?

I love how the description doesn't even match :lol:
Why would you even need batteries for a wired controller?

    2x 2.4G Wireless Dual Shock Game Controller Joystick for Sony Playstation 2 PS2 (#320976428347)   US $19.99   View Item


They jacked the price up, for probably one of many reasons.

#1, they are on vacation, and they didn't want any to sell while they were away. (Ebay lets you suspend all auctions, so maybe they didn't know how.

#2, They are actually out of stock, and waiting for a shipment. Instead of paying 50c to relist, they are just marking it up so none sell.

#3, some other reason they don't want the item to sell, but also don't want to cancel.

The other 50+ sold at $6.99 each, so I'd guess it's just a typo.

These are sold at 5 Below for $5, I happen to be in one of their locations yesterday and saw these PS@ pads. The button art design was the same.
