Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Hey there everyone! This is only my fifth sales thread here on AtariAge, so to give you a reference for my reliability as a seller, you can see all the feedback I've received from selling games and related accessories on eBay over the last half a dozen or so years here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/hanz0d0g You can also find my AtariAge Marketplace User Feedback thread here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/254880-jin/ Before we get down to business, here's the usual info: All prices listed below are firm and do not include shipping costs. Shipping costs to anywhere in the United States will be calculated by based on zip code and package size/weight. All items will be shipped via USPS and delivery confirmation will be included so that you can track the package. International shipping is available upon request and will be calculated based on location. Payment is accepted via PayPal only, and all sales are on a "first come first serve" basis. In other words, the first person to PM me about an item gets it! There are usually a couple of things I am willing to accept in trade for the items I have for sale, and as far as trades go here's what I am currently in the market for: Items I Am Accepting In Trade Logic3 Arcade Stick for Nintendo GameCube (new in box or in like-new condition) Sega Genesis Official 6 Button Arcade Power Stick in excellent condition (little to no signs of use) Star Fox Assault for Nintendo GameCube (complete in box) Wico Command Control Bat Top Joystick for Atari 2600 (new in box or in like-new condition) That's it for trades I'm willing to accept, so now on to the stuff I've got for sale/trade! All items have been sold! Nothing to see here folks, move along! Edited January 31, 2017 by Jin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Do you already have a 7800 stick? You could make this 7800 friendly with only a little effort! Such a cool looking stick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Do you already have a 7800 stick? You could make this 7800 friendly with only a little effort! Such a cool looking stick! I had thought about reworking it into an Atari 7800 stick, but that would require an entirely new black plexiglass top panel to be laser cut for it (which certainly isn't cheap) and a new wiring harness to be built; and that's all a lot more time, energy, and money than I want to put into it at this point. So, since I want a 7800 stick instead (ideally one from UberArcade or a Super Twin 78 from Edladdin), I decided the best way to do that would be to sell this big beauty and put the money towards a stick that I could use with the Atari 7800 as well. Curse you High Score Club for getting me hooked on the 7800 right as I was finishing my 2600 stick! Thank you for the compliment though. It really is a beautiful piece of custom hardware, and I'm sure that any Atari 2600 enthusiast who becomes it's new owner will enjoy it very much and find their scores improving markedly.

cjameslv Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 For a one time fee of $20 depending on size (cant tell if that's arcade size button or not) you can go buy a hole saw bit for plexi. Best investment ever, takes all of 30 seconds to drill it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 For a one time fee of $20 depending on size (cant tell if that's arcade size button or not) you can go buy a hole saw bit for plexi. Best investment ever, takes all of 30 seconds to drill it! That probably would be a good thing for me to invest in at some point for future projects, along with a drill to put it in. But for now the plexi top on this stick is already laser engraved with "Atari 2600" and I wouldn't feel right adding a second button to an Atari 2600 stick. I certainly wouldn't object if it's next owner wanted to add another button to it, but I'll be leaving this stick just the way it is while it remains in my possession. There are already several options out there for high quality multi-button sticks, but a dedicated lap sized single button Atari 2600 stick with a professional factory built aesthetic like this one is something unique and special.

byonddrivn Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Just want to mention I've bought from Jin before. It was an awesome transaction. Thanks again Jin for the Hand Cannon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Just want to mention I've bought from Jin before. It was an awesome transaction. Thanks again Jin for the Hand Cannon! Thank you for the feedback and vote of confidence Byonddrivn, and I'm very happy to hear that you're still enjoying the Hand Cannon! Also worth noting is that I just paid for the first part of a customized Super Twin 78 order from Edladdin, so I'm no longer looking to trade this custom Atari 2600 stick for any Atari 7800 controllers. I have updated the original post with the current list of things that I am still accepting in trade. Edited October 25, 2016 by Jin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) It just occurred to me that I also have this arcade stick up for sale on eBay, and if it sells there I will have some hefty eBay fees to pay afterwards. So, since a sale to an AtariAge member would save me the eBay fees I'm going to go ahead and offer a special discount of free shipping within the continental United States for AtariAge members.

Skippy B. Coyote Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'd like to get this stick sold sooner rather than later to help fund an upcoming purchase, so I'm dropping the price down to $175 with free shipping within the continental United States. If it's not sold by Tuesday, November 2nd it will be going to eBay auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjameslv Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Nice price drop. It is a very beautiful looking joystick too, but even a heavy sixer just costs soo much less. It's hard to justify buying a controller that costs double or more for what the console goes for. eBay isn't a bad idea for this as people are crazy on there and have money to burn!

Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 The original post has been updated with the addition of around $500 worth of Wii and Nintendo DS games, systems, and accessories. I've also updated my trades list with several more things that I'm willing to accept in trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return has been sold and an Atari Jaguar system has been added to my list of things that I'm accepting in trade.

Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Half a dozen games have been sold and some of the items I was looking to trade for have been acquired over the past few days, so the original post has been updated to reflect that.

Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Numerous games and accessories have been sold since the last update. For the Wii the copies of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Resident Evil Zero have found new homes, along with the CTA Sure Shot and Nyko Perfect Shot. On the DS front both Dementium games are now gone as well as Mario Kart and Okamiden. Many other games and accessories are still available though, so just shoot me a PM if there's anything you're interested in buying or trading for.

The Arcade stick has been reduced to $165 and the DS Lite has been reduced to $65. I'm really itching to buy an Atari 7800 ProSystem and I'm hoping to get these items sold sooner rather than later to fund it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 I sold a ton of items over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, so everything that was sold has been removed from the original post, however I still have quite a few things left for sale and will happily accept Atari 7800 games in trade.

+save2600 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Wasn't but a month ago you were so excited about getting a 7800... beautiful system and collection you've got there, what happened? Might end up regretting letting it go, especially if you start delving into homebrews more... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 This is a mistake, you are going to regret selling these items. I wish I lived closer to you because I'd give you the $400 and tell you that I'd sell it back to you for that when you came to your senses. At least sell your Midnight Mutants and Pac Collection separately. They don't belong with the rest of those games. Maybe Edladdin would let you return the big stick? Did you ask? Another option would be to try and re-coup some money by selling your Atari 2600 (assuming you have one). You don't need it and they are much easier to replace.

I appreciate the concern guys, but I've made up my mind on this one. I'd rather not air my dirty laundry on the forum, but suffice it to say that regardless of whether or not I enjoy playing the Atari 7800 it was an extremely financially unwise decision for me to buy all this stuff and now I need to recoup what I can and remember this lesson for the future. I will still be participating in the Atari 7800 High Score Club via emulation, since I still like playing 7800 games, and selling this collection is more of a harsh lesson in financial priorities than anything else. I was a dumbass with my money and now I've got to pay for it, quite literally. Returning the system or Edladdin controller for a refund isn't an option (Video61 doesn't take returns and Ed is such a nice guy who put so much work into the controller that I couldn't bring myself to screw him over by asking for a return), and given the nature of my situation I'd much rather sell this collection as one big lot than part it out and try to find buyers for the system, controller, and all the games individually. I may still consider parting it out if there aren't any takers on the lot within the next week or two, but for now I'd like to keep it all together and see if anyone is interested in the whole lot. Thank you again for your concerns you two. Edited December 31, 2016 by Jin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
