GameCube component cables

[captaineegee]

Where might I find a set of Component cables for the gamecube? I've tried ebay and amazon, but other than that I can't think of anywhere else to look. I know the likelyhood of finding them new is out of the question as they haven't been produced in some time, but I would be willing to buy them used. Any help is greatly appreciated.

you should try ebay.

Looks like they're pricey though.

Shit, I'm tempted to sell my GameCube component cable on eBay.

Can you not get some third party cables for pretty cheap?

Also, this might be better off in the help forum.

Maybe I'm mixed up here, but aren't component cables only compatible with early Gamecube models? Just a slight precaution, maybe.

Yeah, you have to have one of the very early ones. I was looking into this recently and I decided it would be better to just buy a WII and get a component cable for that. So I bought a WII and am just waiting until I can afford one of those new cables.

The DOL-001 model has the digital out on the back, and has the nice hidden feature of allowing you to swap faceplates, while the DOL-101 doesn't have a digital out and the faceplate is fixed. The DOL-101 wasn't released until a few years into the GC's lifetime though, and is normally the version you find in bundles, while units sold separately have a habit of being DOL-001.

Quickest way to check is just checking the back of your GC for a digital out, or the bottom for the model number.
