the receipt item-
Am I the only one that thinks Babbage's is a weird store name. And it looks like they are still in business today selling video game stuff.

Charles Babbage is the "father" of computing.

But yes, weird name for a store regardless. I always thought it sounded strange. It kind of sounds gross.

Possibly.  But the difference is,  there's actually a demand for Duo pads.  :-({|=
All is well. :)

I guess I wouldn't know. To me, controllers are meant to be used. In my mind I don't see them as collectable.

I collect 'em.  When one wears out, I go get one from the "collection".

I wonder if it comes with lifetime free caps replacement? Never mind, it still wouldn't be worth it.

Maybe he has several (or several dozen) accounts to make it look like people are buying from him, and than giving himself good feedback. It is possible.

I'd rather buy a used Ducati at that price...jeeez

That's f*cking sad that there's a SEALED SEALED Duo.  Looks like my box.  Great condition but not in a god damn case.  What's funny is this guy thinks that this is ok and someone will pay $5k for it.  Why is it that it's mainly the US Duo stuff that's so freaking outrageous?  I'll just never get it.  If all these people are willing to pay a premium for US stuff, where the f*ck were they when it was release and on the shelves?

For $5,000 I imagine I could fly to china, and make some Duo copies, in "original boxes", maybe even 20 of them?
