 There's a Nintendo Power 100 controller up on Game Trading Zone just now. The guy states that he's looking for about $200 for the controller:

If you scroll to just above the comments you'll see the listing. If your interested in seeing more of the limited edition Nintendo Power controllers then check here:

http://s9.zetaboards.com/Nintendo_64_Forever/topic/7062730/1/

The guy who posted that listing has borrowed a quote straight from the N64 Answers topic (above) that I just recently moved to N64 Forever:

"During the Nintendo 64's lifetime, Nintendo Power Magazine in the US gave away three limited edition official controllers. These are the most difficult to find controllers for the N64 due to their limited numbers. Until recently there has been very little evidence on the internet of the Nintendo Power 100 controller. This controller was available for a short period of time to subscribers of Nintendo Power Magazine. This was the first official gold Nintendo 64 controller, made available in September 1997."

I should charge... really, I should... ^_^

 Oops. The guy already tried to sell it on Ebay but got no bidders:

If you're after one of these controllers it might be worthwhile to contact him through eBay. :)

You really really should. File a copyright for your work, and then you really can charge for it. :yeah:

Anyways, if I had found that auction I might have bought it. I don't know how he expects to get $200 if it didn't even sell on eBay for $50. I know the controller is rare but there don't seem to be very many people interested in it so it isn't really valuable because of that.

It's probably better I didn't see it because I don't need another ****ing controller. The M2000 controller is way more awesome anyhow.

Prices fluctuate greatly. One sold recently for cheap but I can't remember how much. There's no info available on how many were made, as far as I'm aware, but they were probably produced in a limited number like the Millennium 2000 controller. Maybe 1,000 to 10,000 units? I'm just guessing.
