You wish. GameCube on Amazon is $50 + shipping and MKDD is $44 + shipping if you want it in the original case.
After that, I imagine you'll want controllers...
$22 at Amazon.
Seems like for these listings it's $50 USD +
Better luck at a thrift store for probably half the price.

;)
And the item description page (if you go to purchase the item where it gives you the opt in to trade one in) specifically says - no controller.

Hey look Nintendo must still be making Gamecubes! There's some on Amazon after all...

Just because it is available does not mean it is still in production. I bought one of these for about $16 after they first came out. Right now the only way to get one is to pay an inflated price and buy through a third-party seller on Amazon, eBay, etc. Good luck finding one in a store.
Let's do that. Hell, I'll even do it with Nintendo's own consoles.
>Nintendo Entertainment System (1985)
>Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1991)
>Nintendo 64 (1996)
>Gamecube (2001)
>Wii (2006)
So, in conclusion, with the exception of the NES, every single Nintendo console is currently selling in it's original packaging for more than what it sold for (including inflation).
Edit : Since I know you're likely to ask how I calculated inflation, I didn't, I borrowed a Reddit post that had the data nicely compiled.
