Title: FS: PCE Cordless Tap w/ Controller and 4 brand new Cordless pads.
Post by: offsidewing on July 10, 2007, 04:13:12 PM
Ok,

So I originally bought this entire set to play one game, Bomberman 93.  Well, I now have Bomberman 93 on the Wii and four Wii Remotes (plus one Wavebird).  I have a hard time justifying hanging on to these, especially since I have a second wireless tap that I'm holding on to.

So, here it is.  A mint PCE cordless Tap in box with one controller that has about 25 hours playing time on it.  Also included, are 4 BRAND NEW PCE Cordless controllers that have never left their minty fresh boxes.

Again, I don't like to make money off of friends, so I'm just looking to recoup cost (I don't count shipping, that's a sunk cost).  So, the Tap with controller, plus 4 brand new controllers for $195 plus shipping.

I really don't want to break this up, unless I can do it all at once.  One person buys a tap w/ controller plus a second controller, another person buys the remaining three controllers.

So, I'd much like to sell this all together.  If I don't get much interest, I'll reluctantly put these on ePay.

All proceeds go towards my 52" Sharp Aquous 1080p LCD fund.

I so want to f*cking buy this.

Too bad I just spent $200 on eBay and a couple games from Aaron.  =P~

that is an amazingly good deal, seriously! Too bad I had gone out and bought one after reading your original post, haha.

If I were a giant dork, I would try to summon the Jedi Mind Trick and put Keranu and Nat in a bidding war.

These go on ebay starting Monday....

Any chance that you'd split 'em up?  If the price was right, I'd be interested in a couple of the controllers (I already have a wireless tap).

Necromancer, I'll buy the tap itself and a controller or two if you want to buy the rest of the controllers. I just can't afford $200 right now.

That's it boys, that's it!

Hmmm...  Tap w/ controller plus a second brand new controller $125

Three brand new controllers @ $25 a piece = $75.

If people are going to do splits, Figure $100 for tap and controller and $25 a piece for each of the four brand new controllers.

Necromancer, you haven't replied, so is that a No-Go, then?

Nope nat, I just didn't see offsidewing's response yet.  $75 + shipping for three controllers is fine by me.

Do these work well?  Is this a good investment for the Turbo?

Post by: Turbo D on August 08, 2007, 11:24:47 PM
well, they work well but you have to have your controller pointed at the tap receiver in a certain angle range. Considering that, you may dislike its performance. It doesn't bother me though, haha. I had to have them when I found out offsidewing got some, but its not a necessity if you own a controller extension cable.

I take it that the controller extension for the TG16 is not the same as the PCE Duo-r...

right?

If that is the case I'll need to buy some.  LOL

Now if I can only find four friends to play with.......

Correct.  The TG-16 has DIN8 connectors and everything else (including the US Duo) has the mini-DIN8 connectors.

extensions are available for both din8 and mini-din8

I finally unpacked my new Cordless Tap and controllers.

...Only to find I have but 2 AAA batteries in my entire house. I have about 247 new AA batteries lying around, but only 2 AAA. This is the story of my life. Thank you.

sounds like my house, haha. I too had to go out and buy batteries when mine came in the mail.

Trouble is, I'm too lazy to make a trip to 7-11 to buy batteries.

If I remember while I'm working tomorrow maybe I'll pick some up before I come home.

Ugh god I hate AAA batteries! I have the same problem as you and can easily find AA's, but never those damn AAA's! Also I wish electronics would use size E batteries again :( .

Still haven't picked up any AAAs.
