Recent Purchases and Good Finds

Dude closed his thread before I could give him props, so I’m gonna throw him some shine in TT.

Like new (read brand f’ing new but open box) Japroc Torii White Fightstick.

Sweetheart price which we settled with some parts and some cash.

Got the stick the other day. Good pack job, item arrived as described, and I appreciate how easy he was to deal with over instant message.

Thanks @slaycruz !!!

No problem @Feargus001100 …glad it went to a good home. I never played on it but it being shipped by USPS I did open it to check and make sure there was no damage and back in the box it went.

Got a mint PS3 Femme Fatale in box (no manual/instructions tho) for $200.

Do these guys on eBay selling them for $500 actually have people that pay that?

They are rare collector item versions of the TE. Saw a very limited release,

In other news

I did see this today
http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-3ds/consoles/nintendo-new-3ds-xl-black-starter-bundle/120360

Nintendo NEW 3DS XL - Black Starter Bundle
Its the NEW 3DS XL (black) , Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask and Smash Bros 3DS

There also Nintendo NEW 3DS XL - Red Starter Bundle
Comes with Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

both comes with a eGuide for Majoras Mask.

I think Gamestop out of the Black starter set

I didn’t buy it, but found a Capcom Power stick for $40. Is that good should I buy it?

↑ I’d run that by @STEZO_ONE , he’s the Barney Stinson of Fightstick-Price-Is-Right ↑

Got one of these off of CL the other day:

“Lightly used” Hori SCV stick with Box

Dude also threw in a spare Octo-Gate he had lying around:

$60.00

If it were mint in box, maybe. Otherwise I’d say it’s a $20 item. It’s not a piece of poo, but it’s not that exciting either. I own 2, more for novelty than than because they are great sticks.

There’s been a few diff Tekken ones being posted near me, one as low as $35 brand new in box w/ Tekken and everything. He txt’d me back today but from searching doesn’t look like it’s that great for modding.

How is the SCV one? I like that it’s not viewlix.

There’s also a cheap 6 button SCIV one near me.

Was considering buying them to keep at my office if they’re easy to mod. baby steps, eventually I hope they’ll agree to letting me get a candy cab… =)

HORI SCV

Full Sanwa, good size for folks with big hands, can rest my wrist comfortably on the stick with out hitting the bottom edge, I like this button layout too.

Nice features: Start button cover, Switch to turn the stick from 8 to 6 button, Storage area for cord very spacious.

Gonna see if its deep enough for Sanwa OBSN-30RG’s or OBS-30B’s soon.

@BartStation sold me a Hori Tekken 10th Anniversary stick last year for $40, I’d probably rate it a B- unmodded to play on, button layout is great for KOF games.

Tough part about modding it is that the buttons are soldered to an extra PCB vs. have quick disconnects and the joystick mount is for old hori factory sticks not for JLF’s.

If you can get one cheap enough that you still have money leftover to get a custom panel from @arthong , and know how to desolder the buttons you should fine.

Received the ff today, it doesn’t look like it’s ever been used. Box is pristine too. #203

can’t believe I got this for $200.

damn I really want to play on it. maybe I’ll have to do what @hibachifinal did and make a ghetto FF.

“Lightly used” Hori SCV stick with Box

Dude also threw in a spare Octo-Gate he had lying around:

Ok, thanks but I guess I’ll just pass.

And @undamned I always admired the quality, but that doesn’t justify getting one lol

The power stick is worth around 50 only if it comes with complete with box and BOTH cables. The sega power stick is worth slightly more but its hard to find that one with a box This one came with a jlw instead of the american jlf.Thanks for the shout out @Feargus001100. Hows the comic con emp stick doing?

thats about the right price for that stick missing instructions. nobody pays 500 for a stick unless its a b15sdm. or maybe a hrap se.

It actually did end up coming with instructions and even the original receipt from 2009, despite what it said in the item description

Edit:I realize that wasnt your point, I agree with you. Just I’ve even seen people on here selling the chun (which is less rare from what I understand) for over 2x the original retail price.

oh, I didn’t mention, I got it off Amazon while trying to find pics of the FF artwork. The other listing was for 600 or something

Need to also mention that some of these came with Sanwa JLWs out of the box.

There no such thing as an American JLF (although at one time Sanwa and Happ shared items on their part catalogs).

Capcom Power stick came with either a Sanwa JLW variant or a what looks like a Seimitsu LS-40 variant. I never seen a 3rd joystick in a Capcom power stick (does not mean one doesn’t exist).

You are correct! Sorrry. The two sticks were the jlw and ls 40. My mistake. THANKS @DARKSAKUL

Safe and sound in the vault collecting dust.

Picked up a Chun Li TE for criminal prices today. The box is pretty worn/tearing, but the stick itself is in great shape.

Brand New UnOpened HORI V3 SA - Virtua Fighter 5 Edition

Lucked out and found this on the eBays, seller didn’t put “Hori” in the title of his auction so it didn’t get too much traffic.

Semi-good deal, got it for a little below what they were retail in 2012.

Guy was local too, so just met him for the pick-up. Every penny counts!

Thanks @NENDO & @slaycruz for your help!!!
