Dreamcast Madcatz Pads, sell here, or Ebay?
« on: October 12, 2004, 06:51:43 pm »
Hey guys, I recently found 8 madcatz dreampads at a local game store, and I have no need for 4 of them. I only needed 4 for myself, but thought I would pick up all of them anyway. My question is, should I just sell them on here for a set price, or try to sell them on ebay? I also have 1 quantum fighter pad, and a pad from a company called Intec. So what should I do with them guys?

Assuming one of the two above posters decided not to buy from you, I'm interested as well. Feel free to PM me.

hack them both and sell them here... You will get more for them

offbrand dreamcast controllers aren't going for much on ebay these days.

I would hack them, and sell them here. BUT, Ive never hacked a dreamcast control before, so mine will be my first attempt. Also, 3 of the 4 are a weird kind of madcatz PCB. They still have the holes, but they are on a smaller pcb on the main pcb. Just thought I would let you know.

I bought them for $9.99 each at Hollywood's Game store. So I would sell them for that plus shipping, however much that would be??? Just let me know guys, if not, I guess Im S.O.L.

well, $10 a pad is still a bit more than i am willing to pay so that counts me out.  i can still get some 3rd party pads at toys-r-us for $3 but havent tried hacking them yet..

my local toys-r-us has boxes of true sony controllers in the back for 7 bucks each.  And 6 for the offbrands.

I was considering seeing if I could buy a bunch in bulk off them... but then realized that I hate hacking them...  But I'm still considering it.

I'm guessing that if you could sell a used one shipped for 5 bucks each easily... and 10 would be fair, but you wouldn't sell many.

Hacked would be 15 - 30.

Well 5 bucks each shipped is just way too much money for me to lose. I could go for 8 shipped, but thats about it.
