Do you have one??? Or can you tell me how to make one? Also if you have one I'll buy it in TVG's.

I'll just tell you.
first you need a BIC pen and take it apart so its just a shaft and make sure it can fit down the screw shaft of the gamecube.
Get a lighter and melt the tip from the smaller side of the pen and then shove it down the screw hole and push so it takes the form of the screw.
If you dont want to do it I could send you one.

After doing this id recomend sloting them with a dremel or something so you can use a normal flathead.

Why not? What do you have to lose. You can always sell the parts on ebay.

ROBES...$13 (technically) for a bic pen...i dont think so, 5K is a fair price

it doesnt have to be bic, any 10 cent pen would work.

5k is being generous. I would pay 15 k max. Boxcar 182, this seems like a quick 1 or 2 minute job to make the screwdriver. Why not just give it a shot? If you mess up a pen I don't think you would end up in the poor house. :p

Yeah. Cheap pens don't cost anything.
