Title: GONE BattleStation II - NIB [Denver, USA]
Post by: sharpfork on May 28, 2012, 10:01:20 pm

I went out retro console hunting for the first time over the weekend and picked up a BattleStation II.

I traded for it.

I have no idea... 

Folks here and on other forums have sent me links saying they go for $150-$200 on eBay but I can't find evidence of that.  It seems like that might be true for AU folk from what I have read.  If there is someone in the States who will appreciate it, I'd love to trade.  I'm looking for:

• quality Japanese balltop joysticks for shmups or fighters
• an older ps2 ultimarc iPac (mine 10+ YO one can't be programmed any longer)
• DualStrike encoders
• a DS phat or DSi XL
• xBox and xBox 360 controllers
• assorted ultimarc stuff
• t-moulding and marquees
• NES games and controllers
• SNES controllers

Did you pick this up off CL? I remember seeing one listed in the Denver area for around $50-$80...

I'll trade you an I-PAC VE for it. I live in Cheyenne...

Never seen one of these before.
That would make for a decent Supergun. Hmmmm, tempting.

I specifically need the PS2 version.  I really want to test out an Ultimarc iPac to Xbox converter but my old one can't be programed. The default settings.don't work with coinops worth a damn.

Last call before it goes on eBay.

So I started poking around eBay and someone from Denver posted one for a pretty damn high price.  There must have been more than one floating around Denver goodwills.

I doubt they will sell it at the set price:

They went for $60 on twin Galaxies: http://forums.twingalaxies.com/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=24541 (http://forums.twingalaxies.com/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=24541)
