FOUND Sega Saturn 3D controller

[opt2not]

Found one.

Looking for a Saturn 3D Controller in working condition. Preferably in Black.

Ebay prices are ridiculous for this controller, but perhaps a forum friend can hook me up with one for a more reasonable price.

Thanks

I don't even know what these go for today, but I've got one...
I dig it out maybe once a year for a proper Nights session.

I'd love to trade it for a MK Klassic Fight Stick, these go for an obscene amount online as well (like avg 150$ when you factor in shipping).
That means two MK Klassic Fight Sticks (300$) are worth the SAME amount as the entire cab (empty no PCB) just sold for on KLOV.

X 2 =

Big difference on these. 3D controllers hit like 40-60.

You can get some really rough ones on YAJ for like 20. :/

Not in my mind... I say that MK Stick is only worth 60$ tops.
I only want it for its body, I'm going to destroy its original function immediately to be rebuilt as a supergun stick suitable for playing MK PCBs.

Please tell me the MK Klassic sticks aren't worth gold now. I sold both of mine last year for like the cost of shipping XD

Edit: OK, whew. Just saw your second post. MK Supergun is a great use for that stick.

@SmokeMonster man I wish I had gotten your sticks when you sold 'em.
Just look how great this MK2 setup is...

Using a Sanwa, hell even a Seimitsu stick with a high lbs spring (which is better but still not perfect) suuuucccccccckssssssss.
Can't do Raiden's teleport by slamming the stick downward hard. Can't get pure directional taps without some multi directional slop.
It totally ruins the experience and makes all this sweet ass gear basically worthless.

Yeah this is what I'm saying. It's like $40-60 + shipping on ebay! I don't know why these got so expensive.

 

[jassin000]

I don't know why these got so expensive.

Everything in this hobby got expensive real fast.
I blame the influx of new collectors on the changing perception and mainstreaming of "nerd" culture.

Remember when it wasn't cool to play video games?
I've never been "cool" so I'd happily go back to those days when my hobby wasn't socially accepted, but I could afford to enjoy it.

Public perception of a man who plays video games 1989...
