Seems like the scalpers have won this one.
Buy as much stock as possible and make makeshift controllers out of the parts for 4x the price.

Got into a spat trying to haggle with one over $300 + shipping + tip for just the damn bowl w/ mod OEM stick, arguing that eventhough they're rarely in stock they're still being made so the current pricing is steep. His excuse was "Sorry, they go for more now. I'd be losing out on money if I sold it that low (165)."
Well it's only because you faggots buy out stock and purposely inflate the prices. Also saw during bids that some of these leeches bid against eachother, then resell the parts for double what they paid for. These people are just the scummiest niggers.
