Looks like an Xbox Elite controller (Series 1, I assume).

For that price (Approx. $41 / £34), it was a good purchase. I've tried an Xbox One controller and it was very comfortable, an upgrade to the 360 controller, for sure.

Taking into consideration selling used stuff in Portugal is a bit of a headache and hard (I know due to being there before and trying) because there's not even an eBay or an Amazon branch, resellers have to rely on what's available to them and potentially sell it at a loss. However, there's now the Vinted marketplace app which has protection for both parties (buyers and sellers) while Wallapop (mainly used in Spain) does have although sellers can accept payments externally if the buyer is international and OLX doesn't have any and if you do a bank transfer you may be scammed.

Yes, it's a series 1 elite controller with costumized thumbsticks.

Amazon Spain services Portugal, they have even added portuguese as an interface language. People sell on eBay, don't see what would be stopping them. People do prefer to use OLX though that works like Craigslist. I avoid OLX as much as I can though, unless I need something that can be bought in person and I don't need a warranty, but long are the days were you cold find reasonable price stuff there with ease. The place is also full of scammers and the rating system is awful. Vinted has been a great place to buy clothes.

I bought the controller in a thrift shop though.

eBay has very high fees so for some they don't see it as worthwhile selling on there if they can and it's not a country-based eBay branch, rather a branch from a neighbor's country.

I know of an old closed store full of Nintendo, Sega, and PlayStation merch that the owner hasn't yet sold, but if I'd get it, I'd have to export it because it's tough to sell as I've tried and it just didn't work. The Dreamcast game set alone is amazing.

But it came from the manufacturer directly Amazon just stores it in the warehouse lol

Silicon Power 1TB Micro SD Card U3 Nintendo-Switch, Steam Deck Compatible, SDXC microsdxc High Speed MicroSD Memory Card with Adapter https://a.co/d/0A8de0l
And even "Stored" Sandisk cards on Amazon have been fake. It's just better to test it to be sure.
