RockyRaccoon Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I mean these: Basically, I remember using these on my Atari 2600 Jr. and I liked how they felt to me. (I understand they probably weren't meant for the Jr, but the 7800, but still!) But ebay seems to want like... 59.99 for a set? That seems realllllly steep. Is that correct?

Shawn Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ya that is steep. $25 for a used set is a lot more realistic. If those ones you are talking about are NOS then I could see $60 if you are specifically after a brand new set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) I'm not after new, just working. So 25 for a set sounds more correct in my head. There's a few 10 dollar singles but one of those also has like a fricken 30 dollar shipping price.wtf. I'm sure I'll find one more reasonable if I peek around longer.Edit: See? - Here Edited January 18, 2018 by RockyRaccoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 You can also just post a wanted post here, in the wanted forum. Maybe someone here can hook you up with a non-ebay price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masschamber Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I think I have a spare set, if I find them I'll let you know (the price will be inline with how much you want to pay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The GOAT store has them for $12.99/ea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 The GOAT store has them for $12.99/ea. I had no idea this store existed. Woah. That's some nice stuff there. Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what masschamber might offer me first though too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 A repetitive theme these days from me, I know, but the marketplace is usually used for buying and selling actual items to other members. You could ask a question like this in the 7800 sub forums and get the response you want just as easily (maybe easier). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could ask a question like this in the 7800 sub forums and get the response you want just as easily (maybe easier). Since it related to buying from a source like ebay I assumed it might belong here too. I figure this is one of those 'either/or is okay' kinda things.

CRTGAMER Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 People like those??? Agree, the 7800 version a hand cramp. I rather use the EPYX 500J, Mindscape Power Player or Wico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were packaged with new junior's overseas, so they were marketed for both units, just not in the US Edited January 18, 2018 by NISMOPC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapicco Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 My local store used to have used ones for $10 dollars. Ill have to stop by there and see if they still have some. Ill snatch them all up before the prices skyrocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 FWIW, The GOAT Store is in charge of Midwest Gaming Classic. But regardless...someone should be paying YOU to take those damn things off their hands; you shouldn't have to pay for those awful controllers.
