danny_galaga Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 ebay link I bought one a while ago, so keep an eye out for them from time to time. I think I paid maybe 200 plus about 100 post. You would think with the above price they would throw the post in for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 "Uncirculated" though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 These are (were at least, haven't looked for a while) reasonably easy to get from Japan for around $100 - 140 AU from memory. Shipping wasn't cheap and you'd need to wait a couple of months for it to arrive on a boat.... Sometimes they'd be missing the occasional switch or button.Other mates got them but I never ended up getting one for myself lol. I still want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Well there's a huge difference between asking price and selling price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 At that price it will remain "uncirculated!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 This seems very relevant to the Jaguar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 It seems they had two and they accepted an offer of $10,000 for the first one. 10 grand! I don't know how someone justifies something like this. Steel Battalion is awesome though. My wife snagged me one some years back for $125.

Flojomojo Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 That's just stupid ...for that kind of cash, you could easily build something a lot nicer using real controls from airplanes and automobiles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 That's just stupid ...for that kind of cash, you could easily build something a lot nicer using real controls from airplanes and automobiles. For that price, you can BUY an airplane or fast sports car... Hyper-eye, I noticed the accepted offer too. WTF?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 True enough. I think I'd take a Tesla Model S over a plastic Xbox controller every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Gull Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 True enough. I think I'd take a Tesla Model S over a plastic Xbox controller every time. Its not all plastic though but I do wonder how many controllers are in that box and then how big is that box itself. Its not like they are small and all as seen below ( yeah that one is mine) I got this one local no box but it works amazing. So if there is say like 10 in that box that would be one hell of a big box. I would gather though it might have 2 in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 From reading the listing it appears there is one in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny_galaga Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Yep, I have that box. SO basically what they are saying makes it valuable is that the outer box was just for shipping, protecting the retail box. Therefore you would pretty much never see that outer box because as soon as a retailer received it, they would be removing it and displaying it. Thing is, who cares about that outer box? Then cynical side of me imagines all that is in that outer box they are selling is a brick wrapped in polystyrene You will never know for sure until you open it up and thus render it the same as every other controller that only costs hundreds of dollars. I must set mine up again... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People used to grade and flip for instant profit but the graded market is starting to tank, as people simply aren't buying graded loot anymore.

danny_galaga Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 I find it hard to believe that there is an 'expert' on sealed boxes for Steel Battalion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagChris Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Someone seems to be designing 8 button pads for the Jaguar. However they seem to be omitting the keypad which just doesn't make sense to me. If you don't like the keypad I get that. But unfortunately tons of games work really well with it and use it a lot. I don't know why they just at least try to redesign the keypad into something more to their liking but to omit it completely it's just gonna be half of a really good idea.

Hyper_Eye Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 SO basically what they are saying makes it valuable is that the outer box was just for shipping, protecting the retail box. Their argument is that the box is unique to the controller because the serial number is on each part (shipping box, display box, controller) and so it is only complete with that matching shipping box. I don't buy it. The shipping box doesn't display well like the inner box does. Collector's want to display their valuable item. Or they could VGA grade it and sell it for quadruple the cost or more. People used to grade and flip for instant profit but the graded market is starting to tank, as people simply aren't buying graded loot anymore. Ridiculous! I didn't realize there ever was a market for VGA graded items. I always thought they were just way overpriced games in a plastic case. It never occurred to me to actually buy one.
