20ohm20 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Are these different than the ones Best Electronics sells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Are these different than the ones Best Electronics sells? Nope they are the exact same but BE's price is MUCH cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Nice going, Hoff...Now you made the price change They're still $5 more than Best though at the current listing of $29.99 vs. $24.99 at Best. Although for Non-Canadian residents, the shipping charges bring up that total price considerably more. Maybe a Canadian resident may make out on the deal (or break even) as opposed to buying from Best, when factoring shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 shipping from Best won't be much cheaper (trust me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Years ago best sold them for only $15 bucks. I know he's got a shitload of them too so the reason for the price increase is beyond me. I recall that he had hundreds of them at one point. I doubt that many have sold. Maybe it's the Wal-Mart theory of raising the price in increments untill the consumer just won't pay any higher? Kinda sucks if that's how it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yeah I paid $17 about 4 years ago. But he's kind of got the monopoly on it. Just be happy it's not a Vectrex controller, the price would be $70-100 new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 But he's kind of got the monopoly on it. Priced $29.95 and available for sale new under Video61 and B&C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Oh good Lord, one of the sites is a Text File!!!! LOL! Well, the entire site is not a text file. Like Best Electronics, they've been in business for decades and evidently have not embraced a full blown 'modern' website interface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
