Title: I got lucky!
Post by: elmer on April 02, 2015, 09:35:39 AM
I've got at least another 3 weeks before mine finally arrives.  Probably should have sprung for the faster shipping!

Yay ... it arrived a few weeks early!  :D

Not only that, but there was also an FX-BMP memory pack inside it that was totally unexpected ... so 1 PC-FX, 2 joypads and 1 FX-BMP for $115 (shipped) ... I think that that's a decent deal?  :-k

Looks like there's only a little discoloration, and it's not bad ... so I'm not going to be in a hurry to get out the peroxide.

I kinda went nuts with the accessories on Yahoo Japan, so I don't think that I'll be needing another joypad for quite a while!  :wink:

Are they somewhat rare to find at a decent price?

It took longer than I'd expected to find one that wasn't a fortune, and then it was in a bundle with the boxed joypad and another joypad and an FX-BMP ... and I was losing patience, so I just got the lot.

That's what made the collection of accessories look so silly.

I imagine they pop up relatively often on yahoo auctions, but they're not often seen on eBay; when they do pop up, they're usually sitting around in an unloved/unsold/overpriced BIN.

I didn't know the mouse was hard to find.  I got one back when Falling Junk was still around.
