A friend of mine grabbed his Move controls from a craigslist type site that is popular in the area. I checked and plenty of people are offloading them packed in with PS3's and bundles of old games. Might be worth grabbing that way.

It used to be a lot cheaper to get PS3 Move controllers from Amazon (like $25 ea. vs. $40 ea. for PS4 ones) but now the prices are practically the same and it was always a gamble to go with PS3 ones anyway. The batteries in them are degraded due to inactive storage so many people were getting controllers that take little to no charge. Buying used is even worse since most people don't charge Li-ion batteries correctly.
$80 for a 2-pack of the newest model is as good a deal as you're likely to see until BF/Xmas.

I want them mainly for just dance 2018. For vr, I'd rather go HTC vive if I ever make the jump. Are there any other uses for the move controllers besides VR and motion games?

None that I'm aware of. The navigation controller half of PS Move died with the PS3, and aside from games like Just Dance which uses a single motion controller (or 3 if you have 3 players I guess), Move is pretty much only for PSVR now.

Sorry for the dumb question, lol. VR or motion games, wtf else would it be used for? Lol. Thanks for answering anyway.
For Just Dance, I may as well save the money and use the phone app maybe?

Never played it myself, was just curious how they used Moves in a non-VR game on PS4. If it was me, I'd definitely try the phone app first and only buy the Moves and a camera if it was really bad.

days of PSN sale is live at gamestop and best buy, the highlight is Horizon Zero Dawn complete edition for $20 ($16 with gcu) and dual shock's for $40 and God of War for $50 - if you haven't played GoW its probably gonna be GOTY on a lot of people's lists

its possible you might get $281 if you trade in a ps4 pro, its current trade value is $225 and they are doing a 25% boost if you trade towards a new ps4/pro, paying $68 ($349 on sale now) to trade in for a new one isn't a bad deal since its a new revision thats quieter. I just upgraded to a God of War PS4 Pro a month ago so not gonna bother but you can check if any near you have a black ps4 pro for $349. Its pretty painless to transfer PS4's if you have an external USB drive big enough to hold everything.

Is that special good for selling a normal PS4? Not the pro version.
I have a day 1 PS4, and I'd like a PS4 Pro for reasons that don't make sense to me as I never have a chance to play it.

yeah the 25% boost works on ps4 too but the trade value isn't as good, base $145 according to http://gamestop.com/trade so you'd get $181.25 towards a PS4 Pro ($349) still better than trying to sell it on craigslist (crackhead list)
