Average going price of Pearl hardware?
Hey guys! I just bought a Pearl GameCube and a Pearl controller bundle out of box for $90. I've been wanting one for awhile so I got it it regardless, but I was wondering what the normal going price is for the console and controller. I couldn't find many prices to compare it to so I figured I'd ask here.

They were going for $40 without a box about a year ago, I can still find them on eBay for $100-120 boxed from Germany I think. My prices are in AUD.

Just the cube or the controller included? How rare are these too? I know they weren't limited edition but I've never seen many listed at one time and I can't find much info on roughly how many are in circulation.

They're not Gundam or Tales of Symphonia rare, but they're not as common as Platinum DOL-001 cubes either.

Would you say pearl is on par with spice cubes or above spice in rarity?

Pearl is a japan/europe only model I believe. They are extremely common here and go for the same amount as the purple and black ones (in europe) of course, much like the Japanese who noticed demand and started exporting the spice orange models at a premium, the same has happened with the pearl white models here.
Somehow in the past few years GameCube prices have been going up (I picked up three at €10 each three years ago) they now usually go for around €35 to €50. They're actually the last model cube available in europe.
Japan-only limited edition final fantasy models also exist, these are dol-001 models (unlike the commonly found european ones) and I've seen them offered for ~$3000 and up on ebay
