  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
These drives read Wii/GameCube discs.

I have a bunch of brand new OEM LG GDR-8163B DVD-ROM Drives for sale- $47 each shipped U.S. Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation in the U.S.A. ONLY.

These are brand new OEM drives (No retail box or cable), still in their plastic bags and are getting harder and harder to find, let alone in brand new condition.

I'm PayPal Verified and will accept PayPal and U.S. Postal Money Orders ONLY.

PM me if you have any questions. Thanks.

Just wondering what makes these drives desirable? (No insult intended - I would really like to know...)

I'm just looking to make a few bucks to pay off some bills here, so please no bashing about the price.  I do realize that these drives are only worth about $20, but it's simple supply and demand and I do need the money as I've got bills to pay like the rest of us.

so you sell it three times its value  :dunno

good luck!

It can read Wii/GameCube discs.

He's not wrong about market value.  They are selling for $60 BINs on ebay.

"They are selling for $60 BINs on ebay."

And most have $14-$20 shipping charges on top of that!  I've seen a few go for $89-$99 PLUS shipping.

You're right ChadTower, it's all about market value.
