Title: FS: 2x *NEW* PC Engine XE-1 PRO HE arcade sticks
Post by: darkado on March 20, 2017, 08:57:12 PM
These are a treasured part of my collection, one of the best, if not the best arcade sticks for PC Engine/TG 16. I ran into some storage issues so they need to go. I would be more than happy to provide more pics with my username or take pics from whatever angle you want.

The sticks are new and never used (got a third one that I use), boxes are not perfect since they are almost 30 years old.
I'm located in Europe and they are 250$ a piece + shipping.

Some info on the sticks:  http://magweasel.com/2009/07/16/i-love-the-pc-engine-xe-1-pro-he/

What makes these 200$ better than the boxed acemore tg-16 stick I just picked up boxed?


Well after reading that thread they definitely sound/look like the Cadillac of pc engine sticks. Having a multiplayer adapter built in is nice and unexpected.

Seems pretty overpriced mate, especially for only a 2 button one. You could get 4 or more 6 button official Sega Megadrive arcade sticks for that price!

I doubt your gonna sell these here at that price.

That's one steep price.  You'll probably have to hit ebay to fetch it.

Just because the box from the mid-90's says $170 doesn't mean you have to charge $80 more than that!

The last one I saw sell on ebay went for 275 so I kinda figured I'll go a little lower than that. If I'm indeed asking to much guys, you are welcome to send me offers. The price is not that firm, I would rather they go to someone that will treasure them then get top dollar.

I know it looks like I'm just here to sell these, but that is not the case, I really love the PCE and I will always be sad about the PC-FX's "wasted" potential :)

I think somewhere between say $125 & $175 is more realistic. Otherwise maybe the more absurd buyers on eBay maybe your friend here.

Sure, I'd be willing to sell them for 175$ a piece :)

That price is nuts but these joysticks are awesome. I have one and you can turn the two buttons to any position you want. Horizontal, vertical, or at an angle. Also, it has a built in Tap for 4 extra controller ports on the side.  Think I got mine for around $35 but that was a year ago.

Not very long for that much of a price difference.

To be fair he may have just found a good deal, or got it from a Japanese seller.

I really don't think $175 is a bad price for these if they are never used.  I have never seen a new old stock for sale ever.

It's relative. Kinda like a schweaty kok.
