I’ve seen people selling completely gutted TE2 cases on eBay for $150-200 lately. Are any of these actually getting purchased and are just the cases actually that high in value?
The prices of Madcatz stuff has been all over the place lately because of the bankruptcy. Stupid old me sold a Rivals stick with a silent JLF, translucent buttons, and an LED board for the price I paid for the stick of itself maybe a month before bankruptcy… Now I see people getting that much for gutted cases and not a single Rivals stick in sight? Collectibles are such a fickle thing.
I’m asking for a few reasons; one being that I was able to snag a TES+ for cheap because some of the inputs weren’t working. It’ll be simple enough to fix…
But if I can get $150 for the gutted case then take all the innards and put them in a custom wood case…
I guess im just asking for some opinions on the valuation of Madcatz TE2s and the parts now that they are no longer being manufactured.
Also, let’s say I have a brand new TES+ that’s never been used. Will the value rise significantly more keeping it in unused condition or will it be about the same regardless if I use it or not?
