[Blackjack]

Wasn't this listed at like 5 grand before?

It's probably going to get pulled at the last moment anyway...

[kemsted]

I think it was at $500 last time.

[Philflound]

Hehe, shipping is still $12.00. He'll get $12.13 for the stick.

lol... I notice he changed his description, too. He no longer claims that it is, in fact, a prototype, just that it seems like it may be one. He must have either seen this thread or gotten a bunch of E-Mails about it. :-)

 

Hey, for $12.13 that's not a bad deal. He'll still make about $10 profit, assuming he'll be mailing in a bubble mailer, which is likely.

that looks like someone made out of a nes controller

It's already been mentioned by me and others that it looks a lot like something Ben Heckendorn ("VCSp" designer) would have designed, and if that's the case it probably does use some of the guts of an NES pad.

[Blackjack]

Yeah it was 500 not 5K, my bad.

[Lemmi]

i live in michigan like the seller, i wonder if i could go pick it up if i won it

i guessing not because he would lose ALL his profits

[Mindfield]

Hey. It's up to a quarter. Only another $0.15 before he breaks even after eBay fees. :-)

[Osbo]

I would not spend money on that, now the original atari game pads, those are sweet

This is most definatly Ben Heck's Vegabond controller. Go here => http://www.classicgaming.com/vcsp/Vagabond8.htm then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There it is. This is what I think it it.

[Mindfield]

Damn, I knew Ben did a controller but I couldn't for the life of me find it last time I checked his page.

[spongebue]

yeah, it's more of a secret part of his page. But don't tell anyone, because it's a secret

 

Anyway, I wouldn't mind getting that, but it'll probably go kinda high for me.
