80s_gamer Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks so I'm trying to sell some things to fund the trip. This is a very nice original CX-10. I've played with it and it's amazing! It even looks brand new! Last ones sold on ebay for $50+. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 200777665827 Check out my other auctions for complete sytems, some with games: eBay Seller: strosfan74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I don't think they're THAT rare. In fact, I don't think they're worth more than maybe $10 on a rich day, unless they have their hex discs. It's when they have their hex discs that people will begin killing each other over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yup, it's all about the hex disc. Still a really good joystick; I prefer them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yup, it's all about the hex disc. Still a really good joystick; I prefer them. Yes, I agree. they feel very solid compared to the CX40s. My only complaint is the directional throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80s_gamer Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ok, so "holy grail" is a relative term. It all depends on how you look at things; all people look at things from a different perspective and have differing opinions or views about someone, something, etc. I used it to describe the fact this is indeed a highly desirable Atari brand joystick. Lots of people prefer to play their games with this joystick because of the response and control. And for others it's a must-have to complete their "heavy sixer" set. I wouldn't say that it's rare (and I didn't), but I would say it's scarce with only 3 current listings for controllers only in the U.S...all missing the hex discs, might I add. I don't feel like the opening bid is an unfair price for what you're getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collect to play, and because I enjoy refurbishing. I've managed to get my CX-10s, almost on accident, simply by buying random 2600 consoles (with games) on eBay for near the price you're asking for a single joystick. I guess I just got lucky. I'm not trying to insult you. But you did put your auction up for us to see. You should expect feedback, positive or negative, and hopefully use the feedback to tailor your sales. Oh, and just so we're on the same page ... Your pricing isn't unfair at all, especially if you get a bite.

Zwackery Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The crazy thing is that, as silly as these parodies were back in the day, imagine what the actual mock-ups used in the ads would command dollar-wise now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Bling! Damn. I only have $1,199,999 in my wallet! Damn ... damn damn! Well, there's always gold spray paint, craft glue, and cheap plastic rhind stones if you prefer. Stick a belt buckle kit to the bottom of your joystick (like what they use for NES belt buckles), and show off your sense of bling!!!
