Hey guys, found a similar thread regarding this from a couple years back, but I'm looking to trade one of my European SNES Classic/SNES Mini controllers for a purple American one. Not really sure how to go about this in a way that would guarantee that we both safely get the other person's controller, but if anyone is interested in a swap, I'm all ears regarding ideas on helping each other out.

@Markiemania95 You're probably just better off buying one online instead of hoping someone you don't know in a random forum will be willing to trade you.

@Heavyarms55 Did you take a look on eBay (other websites) before replying? Because I did before creating the thread, and given the fact that they're only available bundled with the system and aren't sold separately, understandably people aren't exactly willing to sell just the one. I've found a single listing online of an official North American controller, and it'll cost me £50 - I know it's not $9,000, but a guy like me could buy dinner and wine with that kind of money!
Considering the whole SNES Classic/Mini bundle's RRP in the UK is £70 though... yeah. No thanks. I'd rather not spend that much on an extra controller I don't actually need if I can minimise my cost by simply paying postage to send mine to another person who's willing to swap for it. As I stated in my original post, it seems that a successful trade of these controllers has occurred before on Nintendo Life, so I think I'm probably just better off trading for one online with someone I don't know on a random forum instead of hoping someone I also don't know online sends me the product I actually want for a reasonable price.

@Markiemania95 Huh, on ebay no. I just looked on Amazon Japan. They are sold separately here so I assumed they were in general. The one I saw at the top of the list was about 3000 yen, roughly 28 dollars.
