The same guy is starting to sell Grey limited edition for $40 without shipping.
Yeah I just hopped on ebay to see if all the pads were wiped out by now and saw the grey ones. I really like the color scheme, but the price just for one is ridiculous now.
One of his aliases is offering the black one too if you specify on your paypal comment.
At least I think it’s still the same guy…
45 pads on ebay at stupid prices, I think the profit got to their heads.
Another e-mail from NCSX
Hi ___, we received our order of the Sega Saturn pads today and we can confirm that they are authentic. We matched them to our original pads that we have been using for a few years now. The cardboard packaging, the controller cables, the circuit board, and the buttons are the same.
We sent a few emails to the seller inquiring about ordering larger quantities but unfortunately they haven’t responded to our inquiries. Based on what our Hong Kong suppliers have told us, the supply that they had remaining was probably old stock from a few years ago which they started selling.
Regards,
NCS, Inc
Maybe these sellers found the controllers buried in a warehouse. Probably didn’t know how much they were worth until people starting bidding like crazy on them.
Nice can’t wait for them to be sold out so i can sell them on ebay for a higher price. =)
Which guy was that?
I will back what NCSX have said. These have to be authentic. The molding of the buttons and controller itself is way too sharp to be a bootleg. I just got my controllers today and I’m kicking myself in the ass for not buying more. FRAK.
SRK project done.
We have success.
I’m soooo glad I got the controllers when I did. It was such a matter of fortunate timing and I think just about anyone who really cared about these things got in when the gettin’ was good.
I myself couldn’t be happier. These are easily the best feeling and functioning pads I could have ever hoped to buy, and I got some.
Excellent. Love me some saturn
I received my second pair today, I now have 4 in total which should be enough to last me a few years. I can’t wait for HD Remix and SFIV now :lovin:
i got the last black one. nice heads up srk.
How much did you end up paying?
So how sad is it that I’m psyched as hell after getting 5 and now all I can think of is “man, I could have gotten some in BLACK?”
I really am an addict.
43 shipped . not the greatest deal, but black is definitely the sweetest one, cuz its how i remember playing street fighter
it a fucking rip…it only take one person to give us info, and the hole Country goes nut’s & causing it to go up in price…
Well, seeing as some of us are not in the US, it’s really “the whole Internet”.
Welcome to capitalism. Accept it or become a commie :wgrin:
Amazing that they bumped up the price so much, i paid 57 shipped for 3 of these, and now its 88 bucks for 2 of them. I only need 1 of them for GGPOing/PS3, so i may end up just selling the other 2 down the line, i never even opened them from the package.
btw, i remember reading on this very forum that everyone buying these was a fool and once the hype was over, the price would plummet and he would swoop in and buy them at a major discount. All i can say to that person is, LOL.
Why would the price go down on something so rare? LOL… This is probably the last time you’ll ever get to buy these again, since Sega has stop producing these long time ago
