FS: 2x *NEW* PC Engine XE-1 PRO HE arcade sticks

darkado · 03/21/2017, 03:57 AM

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.

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.

Nazi NecroPhile · 03/21/2017, 09:18 AM

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

jtucci31 · 03/21/2017, 09:35 AM

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

they might not sell, but terrific first post.

Too bad it's not in the PC-FX sales area.

darkado · 03/21/2017, 04:09 PM

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.

250???? eeehhhhhhh i dont know. kinda seem way too high for my taste

darkado · 03/23/2017, 08:29 AM

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

Keith Courage · 03/26/2017, 04:47 AM

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.

Best.

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.

Lol, eh? Proxy? Proxy server???

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.

darkado · 05/07/2017, 05:02 AM
