Sold mine already, but stay away from the older ones that use the gameport connector.  You want the USB one.

I have the "GS" version which uses a gameport connector. They are dual guns and only works with windows 95/98. Doesn't work with any other version of windows, so it's 100% useless on XP/2000 and newer.

I'd only let it go for $100 shipped. It's basically for older gun games like the original HotD 1+2 (PC version), duckhunt, etc.. Newer games and emulators are out of the question.

Brad, are you in the US or the UK?

Does anyone know if the guns themselves from the old game port model are interchangable with the USB model? I heard the old ray gun style guns are better, but I dont know if you can swap them between versions.

Here are pics showing the USB box gun connector, and the old game port one. Its looks like a different pin layout to me.
The USB looks like 9 pin and the old gameport one 13 pin, so wouldnt even fit:
