so i look on ebay for a 6 button jagaur controller and find everyone is asking about 100$ or so for them! is that a reasonable price for one? i expected them to be higher than the regular ones but 100$ seems a bit steep. are they really that rare?

They are definitely hard to find, borderline rare. I'd probably say that $40-50 is a reasonable price for a controller. I was fortunate enough to find a boxed pro controller at a local retro gaming shop for $30 two months ago.

Yeah, $100 is insane. Nick Harlow from 16/32 systems had some for sale, but I can't find them in their online catalog. I believe they were €30 or so. You may want to email him.

It is a fake, I think that was his point. But you are right, there are many things on the Jaguar that are overpriced.

Someone made the cart and printed up their own box and label. And damn does their printing material look bad, to boot.
