normal for Superdrive controllers? I am sure I bought one about 5
years ago for like �50 and that was NIB. Amazed..

Yes, these controllers have gone up. They are not rare, just uncommon.

I don't get why people want them so badly now, since CF options are so
plentiful. If someone wants one that bad, I've got NIB cards I'd
consider selling for $400.

I remember when Shreve Systems was selling them off NIB for about $20.
Then a year or so later, they were being re-sold for about $30, and
now, a few years later, they've become "gold".

They still are quite useful, but you are correct that the combination
of CFFA and CiderPress has certainly made them unnecessary.
