US (or modded HK) Gamecubes for sale anywhere?

I've still got a couple of US Gamecube games that I never played and was thinking about dusting them off and giving them a go, but I lost my console (robbery) Also have a modded component -> RGB SCART for NTSC 'cubes.

So, I'd like to see if I can find an ultra cheap US 'cube somewhere (just the console + 1 controller) eBay doesn't have any so I may well get a relative to get me one in the states as they are only $20-$30 over there.

In case it is a better option, does anyone know of anywhere in the UK selling them?

Try CEX. They're the only folks I've ever seen selling import consoles in the UK high street.

Thanks, never been too keen on CEX and it doesn't look like they have any. It's a real shame Skill2K of Ealing aren't in business anymore...

Not sure if this is allowed here (just got an infraction for contacting a seller in the classifieds via PM), but the trading forums of a UK gaming site that is my regular home, often have US or modded gamecubes available for reasonable sums.

If it's ok I'll post a link, if not, PM me and I'll do the same.

I'm sure you can say which forum (unless it's warez/piracy) I'm not buying or selling here, just looking for info & some up to date market research!

The now out-of-business online retailer Lik-Sang used to sell Japanese Gamecube's with a region switch (JP/US) professionally fitted to the back of the console.. Look out for these on eBay as well.

Why not go for a modded UK GC?
