Title: Dreamcast Madcatz Pads, sell here, or Ebay?
Post by: skid_68 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?

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

Post by: skid_68 on October 14, 2004, 07:00:02 pm: 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.

Post by: skid_68 on October 14, 2004, 10:21:03 pm: I tried Toys R Us also. This was the only place I found Dreamcast ANYTHING around here. Heh, I take what I can get.

Post by: Lilwolf on October 15, 2004, 08:45:27 am: 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.
