I keep seeing this thing sitting on the shelf at the Goodwill here for $7.00 and was wondering if it was worth a damn or if it's better just to leave it sit there.
It's a Nintendo 64 brand computer joystick that only works with your PC as far as I know, (it was not meant for the N64) which is very wierd to me.
I can't find any listings of this thing on ebay and I haven't been able to even come across a picture of one on google, yahoo, etc.
If anyone has any information about this N64 PC joystick especially on value/rarity please help me out here. Thanks in advance.

I found this one for $4 at some random flea market in western North Carolina. It's the only one I've ever come face-to-face with.

That's it exactly...can't find a damn thing as far as rarity/value/ or any other info on that joystick.

Judging by the sheer lack of info and infrequency of eBay auctions (though there actually *is* one on eBay right now: link here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320212299869&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:us))...I'd say it's definitely of some rarity (to quantify it, I'd estimate it at least an R7 or R8 just because it comes up for sale at an alarmingly infrequent rate). As for value, though...I doubt severely that it carries much value, given its apparent lack of demand. I'd estimate, and estimate only (in other words, don't take this as it were the Bible or anything), that it'd be worth $10-$15.

Thanks a lot for your help. $7.00 is a lttle much for the thing I think. But I may have to pick it up just for the rarity value.
