Is this a rental item or salesman sample?

[madboom0522]

I have run across this item in my buying and got one for a what seems to be fair price. It has the foam, 4 controllers, turbo tap, Rf mod and power supply. Not sure how to load big pics so I will link a e-bay auction for just the case part. Anyone know the deal on this?

to my knowledge those were used in rental stores and sold to the public.  There are like 3 different ones.  2 are molded like that and one is all foam.  I have another version that has slots for 3 games, 2 controllers and a tap (as well as all hookups.)

[madboom0522]

Wait..That is the one I have. It does have the slot for 3 games. there must not have been many of them made. They seem to be scare in the wild.

These cases were made for Matthew Sweet in the early 90's.

2487.

I have the 'foam' variant of this case, but have seen both.  Unfortunately due to age, the foam has deteriorated and crumbles to the touch.  I ended up just removing all the foam and now I store a lot of my extra controllers and turbo taps inside of of it.

2485. Matthew Sweet left two cases on a radiator in NYC apt. It melted/disfigured the cases, making them unusable.

That has happened to the cases for my Saturn and MegaDrive rental units as well to a degree.  You can recut replacement foam relatively easily though, someone did that for a TE case.
